I just wanted to revive this thread for a moment to make a comment on Miracle Drug.
I've listed to the clip several times now, and it's also had some time to sit with me for a week or two.
It just seems to me that I discover some new angle or nuance to the song every time I listen to it! And that's just from the shitty clip.
Someone mentioned a while ago about having concerns about this album just being classic rock, and not very many effects, etc..
Well, Miracle Drug from what I can hear probably has some of the coolest and most exciting effects I've ever heard. From Edge's psychadelic trans-conscious slide guitar, to the haunting treatment Bono's voice gets when he's singing. The effect really feels like a drugged and induced state; an auditory hallucination shaped by the pure emotion of the song. Way cool.
So, yeah, I think this will be one hell of a track. Can't wait to hear it off the album, then hear it live after its gotten its chance to work itself deep within our being for that wait between the album release and the tour.
