I liked the instrumental well enough, and the band sounds good on the live version, but Bono is ruining it for me with his vocals.

I'll give it a 5.

6 - another solid pre-boy tune. I really wish they had recorded all of these songs and put it out in the gap between October and War

8, based solely on the officially released instrumental. The live version with lyrics would drag that down a good couple of points, but I'd rather it not since I'm really digging the instrumental version at present.
