Eh.
I'll say this. There is no doubt in my mind that this will be a stronger album than its predecessor. The band has mentioned feeling let down by SOI's overproduction and wanted this new record to be more muscular and direct and that's clearly the case with both this song and "Little Things" - both of which are more inspired than almost everything from the last cycle.
But it's still just a song that isn't really going to sweep anyone off their feet. It chugs along and the production is kind of cool. Maybe you just really want to hear U2 regardless or you'll listen enough to learn to love it, but this band's days of writing a great song passed almost a decade back with NLOTH and writing a classic with some of HTDAAB's tracks.
I've kind of been contemplating an "exit" from this band. The live performances are getting more tired and are a huge hassle to begin with while their latest records just don't really do anything for me. Going out with seeing them perform Joshua Tree in its entirety about 10 feet in front of me seems like the perfect capper.
So basically anyone who does think the song is great will be wrong?
