No Line On The Horizon - love the emotion and building intensity during the verse. the chorus is an odd yet effective relief. can't wait to hear the opening distortion and riff. this sounds like a modernized version of A Sort Of Homecoming.
Magnificent - wall of classic U2 sound. doesn't get me excited but should be a good stadium track. sounds like it wants to be epic but probably won't compare to the likes of Bad.
Moment Of Surrender - not much offered here but what limited texture and mood we get is...well...phenomenal. love that subtle electronic percussion roll in the background.
Unknown Caller - neat vibe from what I assume is an intro. based on the beach clip and the quality of production in these samples, this should be a great one.
Crazy Tonight - contemporary pop that sounds like it could be from All That You Can't Leave Behind. I really hope it holds up better than Original Of The Species, Crumbs From Your Table, or Window In The Skies. the fact that it sounds comparable to these duds has me nervous.
Sexy Boots - eclectic. fun. meh. whatever.
Stand Up Comedy - like the funky riff, but can't really get a sense of this one. nothing really stands out here.
Fez/Being Born - don't like the transition, but the opening sounds of Being Born are fantastic. driving and wicked.
White As Snow - interesting. sounds like Bono is reciting some combination of Bruce Springsteen and William Butler Yeats. hope it's better than Velvet Dress.
Breathe - not as fast and grunge-infested as what I expected from the beach clip. still sounds great. the piano is just perfect. worried a bit about the soaring to nowhere chorus but hopefully the bluesy verses save it.
Cedars Of Lebanon - another somber closer but sounds very original for U2. maybe the most intriguing sample yet.
