I can't really get myself to love 'Magnificent.' I'm certainly trying, but I just want to go and listen to MOS.
I think it's the greatest song they've released in this decade.
no It's just you...i suggest listening to some coldplay, that should reboot your senses. Then try Magnificent again.
One of the greatest songs they've ever released.
I listened to the album last night, and when Magnificent started, my heart rate just went up. This song makes me so happy, it's hard to control myself when hearing it. I want to play it to everyone I know, even (and most of all) those who are not into U2.
There's nothing in the song I don't like.
Magnificent
easily the best song of the record. I LOVE THIS TRACK!
Not so fast my friend...
Ringing guitar in the distance at the beginning and near the end-- background noise, almost like a metaphor for the call to prayer while staying in the riad @ Fez - CHECK
Bono singing about his mother who died far too young - CHECK
Most Non-U2 sounding intro using the synth - CHECK
Edge sounding like hes on fire; making the people who think hes lost it since the Joshua Tree shut the fuck up - CHECK
Minimalist/Abstract Lyrics which say so much - CHECK
Adam and Larry kicking ass - CHECK FUCKING MATE
An aside: This album is far more of a group effort than the previous few albums. Edge's Guitar and Bono's vocals were enough in the previous ones, but in this one, much like in Pop, its about the whole 4 piece band and the layers on top of the song. I get the feeling that some people who aren't getting the album might need to get a better sound system/headphones because this album is more dynamic than HTDAAB and you lose a lot without having output that can produce the bass properly.

It isn't that I HATE this song...I like it...but I don't think its the best song on NLOTH...spank me
I think UC will be in the "greatest" when all is said and done. When I hear it it's like hearing ISHFWILF for the first time...talk me down.
Actually, what bothers me about it is the title. You know you're tugging yourself pretty hard when you call a song "Magnificent". But, whatever - I'm sure I'll get into it. It's in my top half of the album already.
