Just to say that I still think, one year after hearing Original Of The Species that this song IS a great song. Have to say that I really still love listening to this song and despite my negative responses to the last 2 albums I have to admit that Original is probably the best song they have done since Pop, and one of my top 20 favs of U2. Just seen them do a fine rendition of this song live on the Conan O'Brien show, although Edges guitar didn't sound as good as it does on the studio version. OOTS has the best bridge and chorus to a song I have heard in a long time and along with Love and Peace Or Else represent 2 of the best songs they have done since Pop. I have mixed feelings that OOTS has not been a single, on one hand its good that its not going to be played to death on the radio but on the other hand it would have been interesting to hear a different mix of the song had they released it as a single. Anyway here's to Original Of The Species a truly great song and by the way better than anything Colplay have EVER done!
