EBW is the new Magnificent, nice and boring and nice and whatever.
Yikes! I hope a lot of people don't feel the same way.

I got lost apparently.
If you could please do just that? That would be great.
The people who listen to top 40 radio just aren't U2 fans. They could write a song better than Bad and Streets combined and it would probably peak at like 47.
Which is an extra reason for the band to stop trying to force hit-formulated-revival-of-eureka-moments songs.
Maybe if they start releasing unconventional songs (for their standards) as singles - which is, if they run away from a wasted formula... Maybe they'll start having hits or moderate hits.
Numb is their only unconventional song that was a "hit", maybe Lemon. They had clout left over from AB, that's not really going to happen now.

Boots was unconventional. It was a disaster.
What is your point?
I'm talking about today's U2. You probably, most likely, disagree with me (as with every little thing I post), but to me there's a U2-'til-1997 and a U2-post-pop. You're reffering the first one, I'm talking about the former.
I do listen to the radio sometimes.My point is that maybe there's a fatigue in songs that are a pastiche of the their own soundscapes, that emulate their own traps,

Um, no... on every front. I don't disagree with you on everything, I don't disagree with you just for the sake of. Stop playing victim.
The truth is your comment has very little backing. U2 has been "unconventional" at times, but very little when it comes to singles.
I'm one of the few "Boots" defender here, but "Boots"... unconventional?
It's instrumentally far more interesting than its "Vertigo" older sister for instance (a better riff/bassline, the drum track in the verses, some aspects in the structure here and there...), but sonically it's not such a huge departure from the fast-pop-rockers of the past 15 years.
Yes, we see ABABCABCDB formatted songs all the time.
Silly me for considering it to be a departure from the normal ABABCB format that the majority of pop songs and EVERY OTHER U2 LEAD SINGLE EVER followed.
My apologies. I'll never make that mistake again.

This is the structure of what U2 song exactly?
Did you feel bullied by that response?

Boots.
A - the future needs...
B - sexy boots...
A - you free me from...
B - sexy boots...
C - you don't know how...
A - that's someone's stuff...
B - sexy boots...
C - you don't know how...
D - let me in the sound...
B - sexy boots.

When you have little pre-chorus with the same harmony "Sexy Boots" musicians don´t usually consider it as a different section, so Boots are classic example of ABABCB, nevertheless it is chromatic harmony that makes it outstanding, quite rare in euroathlantic popmusic scene
To even bring up that steaming pile of horse crap of a song, one which never ever seen the light of day(boots). In an admiration thread for such a great song as Crystal is, is borderline heresy... Everyones church will be called...... and don't give me crap about context.....
Boots= a relatively low time for me as a U2 fan, the song is abysmal, an abomination a dead skunks ass that first crawled up another dead skunks ass to die.
