Rank the 15-second Blackout teaser clip

[lazarus]

You've played it over and over. Why wait for the full song when you can go with your gut instinct?

Rank this clip against all other U2 tracks! Is it better than Boots? The Miracle? Streets??

I'm putting it in the high 100s.

 

[mikal]

Best since One!

 

[God Part III]

Haha great thread, worth coming out of hibernation for this one

Best since Invisible

It sounds fun, we didn't get that much fun U2 on SOI

 

[TinKnight]

Move over Bad, there's a new best U2 song in town!

 

[phommel]

Definately the best U2 song since 'The Little Things You Give Away' ! WOW!

 

[Axver]

Right up there with Endless Deep, Race Against Time, and Xanax and Wine on the U2 Rushmore.

 

[TheFox]

Even better than the real thing.

 

[brooklynmike]

Definately the best U2 song since 'The Little Things You Give Away' ! WOW!

Agreed. They lost the plot after TLTTGYA, but it seems they're back on track.

My only concerns are- Is this the music THEY want to make? Should they have just released this 15 second clip last year in the demo stage?

The Cockout is the best thing since Reach Around.

 

[SecretFly]

Best since we had the 15 second clip of Boots." I've got submarine, you've got gasoline....."

 

[DeVaul]

The best thing since Kygo sliced some bread.

 

[clerks]

It Stinks -- Jay Sherman

 

[LadySpinHead]

Less disappointing than when I interrupted my Thanksgiving gravy to be gifted the Tiesto Pride remix.

 

[clerks]

As bad as my last orgasm -- Clerks

 

[dabiggestu2fan]

The best song since the crystal ballroom!

 

[CMIS]

Judging by the 15-second clip, I would say that this may be on a Vertigo level. Of course, I am probably wrong and the rest of the song is completely different. But that's the best or worst I can say about it at the moment.

 

[ascender_RS]

On the basis of the 15 seconds I confidently predict this song could be as fondly remembered as Wild Honey.

 

[hasin73]

It will rank in the top 25 Best U2 song list simply for having sheer energy.

 

[trainmaniac]

I guess the new song has nothing to do with Miracle or Boots.
My impression based on the 15-sec clip is that The Blackout is more like Elevation, probably.

 

[dan_smee]

Best U2 song since J Swallo.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Best U2 song since Yellow

 

[BVS]

Best rewrite since Boots

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I thought it was terrible, clearly the new album is going to suck.

 

[Sr. Poop]

Sux - same shit they've put out over the past 13 years

 

[BVS]

The [emoji90] is back! Yay!

 

[jag0918]

Best since we had the 15 second clip of Boots." I've got submarine, you've got gasoline....."

?????????

 

[kabigon]

Best since the last series of mysterious ways grunts

 

[Zoomerang96]

really excited that they've evidently decided to go for another understated, not at all over-the-top performance video to go with it.
