ONE love, blood, life
It’s a good headphones song. I probably said this before.
This blanket condemning of honest reactions to U2's new material really needs to stop. No one should be vilified for not liking a song. By your logic, everyone would be an absolute sycophant.
I can understand pointing it out if someone is always negative, but I can also wholeheartedly appreciate it if someone doesn't like this song...and they have a right to say it.
Oh, and U2 has given me what I wanted a number of times over the years.
It's good to have some fun songs,couldn't handle a whole album of "deep" songs.Its fun but not deep. I doubt I'll be reaching for this song in 2 years for a U2 playlist. I miss the deep lyrical meaning of U2's past eras.
So i listened to it for the first time this morning and gave it about 8 spins since to really soak it in.
Over the past few weeks, people have bashed this song to no end and i was going into it with a low bar.
My take:
Great opening, what an awesome guitar/drum/bass combo.
The chorus doesn’t do anything for me and doesn’t compliment the song.
The lyrics are fine. Some are pretty good, some are meh.
The “refu-Jesus” line was way overblown here and sounds fine to me.
The recycled Volcano chorus doesn’t bother me at all but the chorus itself isn’t good.
All in all, there is a lot of cool sounds, decent lyrics and it’s an okay song for me(could change). i would say it’s a 5 or 6 out of 10. I’ll keep listening and it could change but likely will stay in that range.
This song is not nearly as offensive as some have made it out to be but it’s my least favorite of the new tunes at the moment.
Well folks. This is officially the new single.
I just don’t get this decision. I suppose, the rocker after the pop tune, then maybe a ballad next?
Maybe they think the tiny Kendrick clip will boost its visibility... I dunno. Sounds like there are a lot better songs on the album to choose from.

I don't know how you can say "refu-jesus" was overblown when it's literally the stupidest thing Bono's ever written, and he delivers it with the conviction of a first year university student who thinks they've just uncovered some earth-shattering truth.
I just don’t think it’s as bad as people are saying. It’s certainly not great, but stupidest thing he’s ever written? Nah.
Heavy as a truck, butter on toast - far far worse.
Edit - they are worse because they are super clumsy, and only exist to be rhymes.

Also, i would be willing to bet that the will be selling “refu-Jesus” shirts on tour....i wish i were joking but get ready.
The fuck is wrong with you. White As Snow is one of NLOTH's better tracks.
And American Soul is clearly superior to Elvis Ate America, Red Light, A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel, So Cruel, TTTYAATW, Babyface, Miami, Playboy Mansion, In a Little While, Stuck in a Moment, Peace on Earth, Grace, SYCMIOYO, OOTS, Yahweh, Boots, Stand Up Comedy, Breathe, Unknown Caller, California, Song for Someone, The Blurst Thing... probably a few others.
So it's bad, but it's not that bad.
I'm going to pass on the RefuJesus shirt and buy a Blessed Are The Filthy Rich shirt instead.It really didn’t bug me. i mean, it’s not something i think is poetic or cool but it’s just there. And “little old lady” from SUC was the stupidest think he ever wrote.
it’s also very early in my listening stage. i might listen to it in a month and go...”yeah, that does suck” but for now it’s just not that bad.

This post was a shark jump.
So Cruel? Really?

Not so much complaining as further highlighting the inadequacy of U2.comYou're complaining?

I still don’t see an announcement of this as the next single.
