40 Foot Man should’ve been the b-side

Dan is amazing and I owe him at least a 12 pack by now but the silly advert said 9pm eastern 28 Sep, right? They did mean 2023, ya?

[prbiker15]

I think they said 9 PM Las Vegas time, so a little more than 2 hours to go. I might as well stay up to midnight tonight so I can stay up later for opening night tomorrow.

9pm Vegas Time is in about an hour and 20 minutes.

If you're in PR, than midnight it is for you

It’d be cool if the single release coincides with a live broadcast of them playing the song from the sphere

[dan_smee]

9:02. No video yet.

[U2387]

I watched the live performance a few hours after it happened and said "meh" Sounded decent, but just a one off that I hoped they'd forget.

Holy SHIT is this good with the production!! For all the reasons everyone already mentioned- Lillywhite and the loud drums, etc, etc.

However, did anyone get the feeling that not only is Edge back, he's doing more different things in three minutes than we've heard him do in years?! It has a "War" vibe for a lot of it obviously, particularly Two Hearts, and the classic Edge chimes, but I'm also hearing some "Blackout meets Pop" type sounds!

And Adam! Damn, to me, he continues to be the stand out and may even be breaking new ground for him here!

This is as excited as I've been for a possible indication of a new direction since "Invisible." We all know they walked that back/watered the sound down, but overall, I think we got a very strong album with a lot of that DNA for SOI.

Just listened on Apple Music and it sounds so good.

[dan_smee]

That video was great until the last 2 seconds… ugh

[RoKKeR]

Wow some of the shots in that video were incredible. The lense flair and bokeh were on point. Honestly some of the best looking shots they’ve done… not bad for a hastily thrown together shot!

[Irvine511]

It’s really good. Less cringe than usual.

We’ll see how it holds up but I plan to add this to my exercise playlist.

[Super Yo]

The Fly!!

[RoKKeR]

In other words, literally any screen grab from that video would have been a better cover image lol

[lazarus]

Better to have it embedded than just a link:

Something sounds kind of weird with Larry's drum sound, like he's playing a cheap kit. I can't describe it but I feel like they should sound heavier? Am I crazy?

There's a couple good lines but overall the lyrics are pretty dumb, just a lot of gobbledygook with a handful of Vegas references and the typical inspirational schtick that's worn out.

Luckily, the tune is very good. It will probably sound even better live.

[U2girl]

Good video. This is, Blondie/Clash ripoff aside, very catchy. Better single than anything on the last three albums.
The Fly shades are back !

[prbiker15]

Yep, this is good. So refreshing to hear the instruments so clearly and I love the bass solo. And the music video is good too - a nice nod to 1987 and what’s going to happen in less than 24 hours. It suits it’s purpose.

It’s nice to have U2 fever once again.

'like any sane person we see climate change as being the existential threat of the generation.’ the edge



so that's why you tore up some californian land of environmental interest in the name of luxury properties? That material lifestyle and the lack of anything creative or spiritual is precisely the reason we get meat and potatoes musical nonsense from them these days. Meanwhile, i'm sure bono and co will continue to private jet everywhere for the most meagre of trips.
