Get on Your Boots

agreed. i absolutely love GOYB now.
It's not a terrible song. It's well done, for the most part. I guess going back and reading the lyrics, they aren't that bad, except for this part:
"The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day"
Least fave: SUC, i listened to it the other day, it has moments in it that are pretty good, like that part where Edge drills his guitar and makes a Tool-like scraping noise, but then that moment of awesomeness is immediately deflated once Bono comes in with "Souuuul ROCK-ING PEO-PLE!!". If the song were an instrumental it actually wouldn't be half-bad.
i can see people disliking Boots even though I dare to say I love the song for what it is, a fun rocker with a semi serious tone snuck in there, but really, their worst song? I really don't think that (dis)honor can go to anything other than a song or two on their first three albums. i don't think any song produced after War could be considered their worst song, not by a longshot.
me too. fun riff, groovy chorus, awesome breakdown which is really unlike anything U2 has ever done. I love the extended version too with the longer intro, I wish they put that version on the album not that it matters too much. I think maybe when time passes people will appreciate Boots more, but if they don't, oh well. I really liked the song at first and it went up in my opinion after I had heard the album- which I figured it would go down in my eyes a bit for me, but it was the opposite as time has set in. I also think it will kick ass in a stadium too.
My least favourite moment on the album. Instead of "soul rocking people" part, Edge could have easily played a solo. I hope he does it live.
SUC by a lot. My least favorite U2 song in the last 10 years. (Not counting the terrible cover w/ green day- i just pretend that didn't happen)
Wow! I completely disagree. Those lyrics are stunning... just like the rest of the song! One of their best songs ever in my opinion. Didn't think they had it in them this late in the game.
As for least fav, it is hard for me to name one because I don't hate any of the songs. Love them all. What an impressive album this late in their career!
Zoots! long time no see.
There isn't a song that I really dislike in this album, if forced to say one I would say Fez-Being Born, I know it's a good song, it's experimental I acknowledge it and I can understand the concept there, it's only I can't feel it, it's something like an intellectual exercise for me, I never skip it, but sometimes I forget I'm listening to music when it's played.
there are days I prefer SUC to Fez-BB exactly for this reasonThere isn't a song that I really dislike in this album, if forced to say one I would say Fez-Being Born, I know it's a good song, it's experimental I acknowledge it and I can understand the concept there, it's only I can't feel it, it's something like an intellectual exercise for me, I never skip it, but sometimes I forget I'm listening to music when it's played.
Elfa ol' buddy ol' pal

When i first heard the album i though it was crap to be honest (magnificent and boots being exceptions), but now i love it. I just cant get into white as snow though, it just doesnt do anything for me. Saying that i used to think the same about MOS and Cedars, but i love them both now
