I would advise going back to BC3 in light of this.
Listen to the "I don't wanna..." part you can clearly make out. For one, it could very well be the lyrics he's talking about. Two, it really showcases that Costello cadence the reviewer was talking about, in my opinion.
It's definitely different.

Alan Cross seems to be part of the anti-Pop brigade, which I think is a good thing for hardercore fans like ourselves. If he can't hear immediate brilliance in the album, there probably truly are many dimensions of enjoyability to Bootz.
How can a proper U2 fan find nothing redeeming about PoP anyway.....? I think he's a casual fan at best. That's not a criticism of him, but just the way it seems.

Wow. I'm remembering how awesome BC3 is. I definitely hear some "I don't wanna"s in there.

"i didn't hate it"... hum he doesn't sound too excited... to tell you guys the truth i'm not excited too. The title, the gasoline/submarine rhyme, all seems a little disconnected.
When i began to read there were two pages in this thread, by the time i finished reading it there were 7!!!!

That's because it was merged into a bigger thread.

He also said he didn't like Vertigo at first, U2 fans will be pleased, and that it always takes multiple listens to formulate an opinion. The most encouraging thing is that he was left in a state similar to that when he had just heard The Fly.

Oh brother!
So he didn't like Pop. But if he'd said something negative about HTDAAB, it would have been okay with you?

I think the rhyme is very connected to the title. I believe the boots are like army boots. It's a very iraq war theme (war for oil etc). Submarine, navy blah blah, I think its actually going to be a meaningful song, rather than Vertigo 2, but titled as a fun popish romp so the 13 year old girls like it

The Fly
Personally, I LOVE that he said "Did I like it? I didn't hate it..." I want a single that is a little bit of a grower rather than instantly accessible. This has made me all the more excited.

All I need to hear (read) is that little part about this song not being BD pt.2 or Vertigo pt.2. That it is "sonically" charged.
God! I'm soooo ready for this!

He wasn't too excited about The Fly either
And Discotheque. And Vertigo.
To be honest, the thing that most excites me is the bit about the song very likely leaking sometime next week. I like song descriptions, but it's difficult to get excited over someone else's opinion.

End of the week... that's good, but as we're now hearing more about it... the wait is getting insanely unbearable. 
OK, "I don't wanna talk about war between the nations..." is, I think, at 1:26-1:30.
The "submarine/gasoline" line (sounds like "I've got submarine/you've got gasoline," but who knows) is right out front, from 0:09 to 0:12.
I agree with dan, this might well be about Western/Middle Eastern or even American/Iraqi relations, loosely. But that's wild speculation.
We'll know extremely soon.

You didn't just now. But you posted that head smacking (don't know the code for it) smiley about his Pop comments, and it's no secret that you don't hold HTDAAB in the highest regard. I was just guessing that if his negative comments had agreed with your opinions and been about HTDAAB, as opposed to being about an album you do like, it would have been fine with you. No biggie, just an observation, and maybe I'm wrong.

YES, I hear the submarine/gasoline line clearly.
