I dont know how this snippet sounds anything like ATYCLB, to me its totally different. The lyrics are different, Bono's delivery is different, and the guitar riffs are different. On the "faster" songs of ATYCLB, the verses were slower and then the guitar picked up and climaxed during the choruses (Beautiful Day, New York, Elevation). It doesnt do that here, and the riff sounds nothing like ATYCLB. I just dont see the similarities. And this being from a big ATYCLB fan, its not AB or JT but I love all their releases.
It's a great start, I love what I hear so far.
