Rate the new single, from 1 to 10, with "10" meaning you believe it's among the band's very best work.
For the moment, I would give the song a 7. I hope the song sounds a lot "fuller" when a better quality version makes its way to the airwaves; if it does, that may bump it up a bit.
A few more days' listen might help too.
This may be a song that could be greatly helped by a good video. Imagine, for a moment, U2 on the beach - bolts of lighting behind the Edge and his guitar, and reflecting on Bono's shades. NEAT.
And, honestly, this song would have gotten more my attention had I not already heard Coldplay's new album. There are quite a few songs there (In My Place, The Scientist, Clocks, Daylight...) that are simply brilliant. Once again, A Rush of Blood to the Head is the best album of the year.
Electrical Storm is quite nice - particularly Edge's closing guitar solo. ("Wah, wah, wah.")
But I've heard better from the band, and I've heard better in the last few weeks. How would you rate it?
(And, if you have the time to reply, why did you rate it that way?)
