The song gets better and better with every listen. It´s really EXTRAORDINARY song. Strong influence of Daft Punk´s Get Lucky. Hook of the refrain is F*cking gorgeous. I only wish Bono would sing the verses more cool, he sounds wee bit tired.
But, WTF happened to the Edge??? While his songwriting is at his peak, his guitar attitude is at his lowest point? This is the best example. I had hard time to get all over his generic hard rock 70´s guitar riffs and now in this song HE IS TRYING TO IMITATE SANTANA or what??? So uninspiring and tacky. From the man who led the band for 35 years with his innovative and distinctive guitar style. What happened? He aspires for getting hired by some random tribute band?
They're idiots if this song isn't released as a single.
They need to release this as a single, period. They need to go on SNL and play Every Breaking Wave, and Crystal Ballroom.
Put Miracle to rest please, you've already done the promo with that and it's time to move on.
It's that good? I can't wait to hear it next Tuesday night. I am so tempted to listen to a leaked copy (I'm in the US, so until Tuesday I consider it leaked).
I think I'm going into U2 overload!!!!

It's fucking brilliant.
And for crissakes, we bitch about Edge not getting the spotlight and then when he comes out of his shell and delivers a tasty (and who cares if it's a nod to Floyd/Santana/whoever) solo that mercifully lasts more than 2 measures and during which Bono isn't warbling over...and we complain?!?!
The fuck outta here, seriously.

I don't see much "U2 out of the box" here.
"Buttoning unbuttoning her coco dress
Stopping and unstopping every cold caress"
Not bad bono, not bad at all

Really? Name a U2 song that is as funky as that? Or as 70s disco. Or as far out of all of their comfort zones musically. It's a slick, shimmery pop monstrosity. And it is amazing.
Is anybody here willing to give us a vinyl rip, please?
I know people's personal anecdotes are derided by lesser minds, but so far everyone of all ages I have played this song for has had a wide mouthed "holy fuck" response, whereas songs like Volcano and Miracle were met with everything from yawns to eye rolls to outbursts of laughter and "okayyyy dad rock". California gets a slightly better response but Ballroom, Invisible, Iris, EBW, SFS and Troubles get genuine respect.
Volcano and Miracle are the "decent b-sides", not Ballroom and Invisible.

This makes absolutely no sense. You think the song is extraordinary but slam the guitar solo, which takes up like 30 percent of the song.

Don't know about Ireland or Japan, but Aussie vinyl was pushed back a week. Any other markets release on the 10th?
