Both are b-side material, but NLOTH-2 is much better.
Boots or NLOTH2 ?

NLOTH is way better.
Give me Boots. NLOTH2 is good and fun, but it sounds forced into a speed and mode that, at the time the song was written, were obviously absent. NLOTH2 is slightly off-kilter and awkward, but those qualities have charm as well, I suppose.

i agree, though i think the album version of NLOTH will destroy Boots (for the record, i like Boots, but i do think it will be one of the weaker songs on the album).

Completely agree--the album version of NLOTH is shaping up to be one of my favorites I think.

NLOTH2 at this point is much better...just not feeling it for GOYB. it has begun to wear on me but the lyrics are grating...not Bono's best...

No Line by FAR. Boots sounds lame (when compared to NLOTH2).

NLOTH2 for sure. Love, love, love Boots, but nloth2 is just more my kind of song.
I'm enjoying both of them. Today on my way to work I had them alternating on a playlist and both were very enjoyable. Now that I know the words to GOYB it is a great driving sing a long song.

NLOTH 2 totally because of the guitar.
but both are good and getting way too much airplay on my iPod.

Love both. 
GOYB for now. We'll have to see how the album version turns out...
If NLOTH2 didn't have that crappy "Ooohhhhhh, ohhhhhh ohhhhhh!" part in the middle it would probably be better. That part keeps it from being a great song IMO. Sounds like they just threw in the first crappy idea that came to mind there.

Boots by far. NLOTH 2 sounds so bside...not enough dynamics. However I think the album version will be a vast improvement.

althought I kindof like NLOTH2 it isn't doing it for me, i have high hopes for the album version though. I vote Boots

also those weird squiggly electronic noises in NLOTH 2 are so annoying ...

Boots. NLOTH2 sounds sloppy and unfinished to me.

I'm surprised at the positive reaction to NLOTH2...as I said in the other thread once the album comes out I think you'll all realize you've been listening to Always instead of Beautiful Day

Good comparison.

Agreed. Very good comparison though I still prefer NLOTH 2 more than Boots. Which could bode well because NLOTH2, although an alt version, is probably more representative of the album than Boots (from what I've read anyway).
The 2 will get it right though - there is a reason whay NLOTH2 is an alt version!!

Boots - NLOTH2 is just ok. Goes along at a fairly boring pace and definitely feels like a demo (especially given the 'Produced by U2' tag on the credits). Doesn't really go anywhere whereas Boots has an energy that, while not the most engaging song or by any means great, twists and turns enough to hold interest.
