It was great live too. Randomly got it at the show I went to and it made me like the song much more.

I always thought "Raised By Wolves" was one of the very few post-ATYCLB songs that truly lived up to their 80s and 90s output. I'm always shocked when that one doesn't get more love.

SOI is such a good album that no one cared about because of both the iPhone thing and frankly, U2 became a legacy band the prior tour 5 years before the release. After HTDAAB/Vertigo Tour, public interest in their every move seemed to just reach the point where they didn't care anymore. U2 was in the public spotlight pretty heavily for 5-6 years. Happens with a lot of bands.
Despite all that, U2 returning to arenas after 360 was treated like a big deal (as opposed to a retreat) and the shows sold well. The mix of songs we got on i+e was also very solid. Hoping they rattle the cage similarly or moreso with song choices next outing.
RBW being another one that has an early 80's sound to it in the chorus, and then sort of a No LIne era delivery in the verse.
(Though I also have a gripe with Eno and Lanois, who took a potentially massive chorus in Unknown Caller and never managed to get it off the ground).
One of the stranger things I heard once was "Crazy Tonight" being played at a sports bar in the year 2018. Almost 9 years after that horrible song came out, it somehow made a playlist for a pretty happening, high volume bar.
