I gave it a 3/10. It's mostly a bleh song with a few cool elements. The intro is particularly great (especially the little Kraftwerk-esque synth lines) and the music as a whole does a great job at getting some emotions across, but the melody is weak and the lyrics are even clunkier. I honestly wish it were an instrumental since Bono's lyrics and most of the vocals are a huge detriment to the rest of the track.
As usual, fans are overrating a new product around here, but I personally can't think of a weaker U2 single in this band's entire history. Maybe "Original of the Species"...maybe.
