I've said it before and I'll say it again: The chorus of Raised by Wolves is the best moment on the ALBUM.
I think it is one of the weaker tracks for me unfortunately. I think the main chorus seems forced. Wedged into what could have been a much better song. This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now and Raised By Wolves are the only two tracks that just do not hit me at all on this album.
I guess it depends on one's musical tastes, which is what is so great about U2 fans, we all differ a bit in that regard. Those two songs are the most heavy rock U2 has sounded in ages, if ever. I like that sound for them once in a while, but I like their other sounds as well. It's somewhat satisfying to hear some clean, heavy riffs and some piercing rock vocal choruses from musicians that are so talented.
I get that from 'Sleep like a Baby'--its very 'Chaffeur-esque, or 'Sing Blue Silver' or 'Lonely in You Nightmare'
But that's a good thing for me too, and just goes to show the boys reaching to the past for influences. One of my favorite stories about Bono comes from Simon Le Bon. During the recording of 'Do They know its Christmas" apparently Bono was feeling like quite the outsider--and Bono always said how nice and welcoming Simon made him feel.

I would like the chorus more if there were a more distorted vocal, like Zoo Station. Bono's cartoonish "RAAAISED by wolves" is a little jarring.
I also don't like the repetition of the title. I like "Raised by wolves, stronger than fear." But then he just repeats it, which comes off a little awkward IMO: "RAAAIISED by wolves...We were raised by wolves." I wish he'd had another line there to parallel "stronger than fear."
I loved RBW first time I heard it -- still do and always will. Easily one of the best tracks on the album.
Eh. I just love it all the way through. U2 doesn't often write songs as good as this. And we almost never hear anger in their work anymore.
After the struggles Bono had with his voice, he's showing off a little bit. He couldn't have sung that chorus 10 or 15 years ago.
Quite sure this was some inspiration

Quite sure the acoustic version will have some similarity
what do you guys think of this Boston rock band that implied that U2 ripped off the chorus of Raised By Wolves from their song?

I honestly don't see it, but I was surprised the Boston.com published it as a news story.
Ok, this song is definately growing on me. The main chorus does not make me cringe like it did when I first heard it. I think it is a pretty good song, should be great live if they attempt it. I pretty much like the entire album at this point. This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now is my least favorite, but I am starting to like it more as well.

The part where they sing "raised by wolves" is very, very similar... cause how would they have ever possibly heard this unknown, and frankly, awful band before?

This to me is the most under rated track on the album. Great song!

It's the best song lyrically on the album. I would argue it's one of the best songs lyrically of their entire catalog.
Did anybody else miss the weird wolf breathing sound while listening to the acoustic version for the first time?

I used a program on my computer to insert the wolf breathing into every song on the album. If sounds pretty great on "Song For Someone".
