agree with this. "I don't believe" is incredible, then the chorus I kind of cringe to. Which sucks, because outside of that, the rest of the song is frigging awesome.

Loving this song...
Do you guys think there's some vocal processing on "I don't believe anymore" on the word "believe"? It sounds warbly on that word like a touch of auto-tune....just saying
still a great song

It sounds like just a ton of reverb there.

This is ridiculous. Boston band thinks u2 ripped them off. Songs aren't even similar except for the "raised by wolves" line, which is a common saying.

The tension on rhis one is tremendous... i think there was no such thing like this in a u2 song since exit.
And yes, let the edge be praised.
So pleased to have this u2 back.

Help me out here, folks.
I really like the first and third verses of this one, but WTF is Bono going on about in the second verse? How in the world does that fit with the story he's telling in the rest of the song?
Am I missing something, or is this just normal Bono lyrical clunkiness?

He said he wasn't present during the bombing incident. Maybe he was with friends and someone was trying to give him a stick-and-poke tattoo?
It's odd.

I think I read that this same friend who witnessed the bombing also became addicted to heroin later in life. The second verse is about this.

Good call.
I like him shifting POV in a song without announcing it outright. Like Dylan on Tangled Up In Blue.

I definitely thought the lyric was "detonate in your den" but it's "detonate and you're dead" apparently?

This is my 7 year old son's favorite song. I love the "I don't believe..." but find the "raised by wolves" too harsh. This one may sound better on a proper CD or vinyl...

Yes. That friend is Guggi's brother--the same guy that Bad was written about.

I think it's Andy Rowen. At first I too thought it was a tattoo but it's more likely heroin.

This song has been my #1 favourite all along. Angry political U2 like how we used to love 'em! But I do prefer the verses to the chorus which is a bit lacking. And the song kind of quickly ends after the second chorus if I'm remembering right. Wish it had been a bit longer or something, with a proper outro.
The whole album itself is filled with short songs in general. Leaves me wanting for more when it ends.

what do you guys think of this Boston rock band that implied that U2 ripped off the chorus of Raised By Wolves from their song?

I honestly don't see it, but I was surprised the Boston.com published it as a news story.

This just in, Boston garage band finds a way to get more hits on their website by claiming first dibs on a widely used phrase.

It is almost an excellent song; I love the verses, the lyrics, the chorus is a slight let-down; had the chorus been stronger, this would have been track of the album.

I think the chorus is absolutely spot on.
So much tension throughout.

This song wouldn't have worked with a normal "build up" chorus, it's that tension that makes the song.

This is a fucking joke, right? I listened to their song and it's just not there.

The the prechorus is cheesy, the chorus is screechy and dull, and the intro and verses sound like a David Brent song. I don't get the love for this tune.
