If Kworb's list is accurate, then that means "The Best Thing" lyric video has gotten as many worldwide Youtube views in the past 24 hours as R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion.
Invisible is a gem. Very underrated in these parts, iIMHO.
SOI is very underrated. The run from Iris to The Troubles is the best of the 2000's. I even like California a lot. Just listened to it tonight and it's uplifting and energetic. Love the guitar solo too.
I might be in the minority in saying this but SOE has to be pretty special to be better than SOI. The Litttle Things could be a classic with great studio production.
This has been one of my favorite days as a U2 fan. I wasn't a mega fan until SOI, so I'm glad I could be apart of the pre-album fun. Peace out lads.
Has the song been played on Australian Radio? Havent seen much media about locally either?
Perhaps the song's problems can be summarised in one lyric: "the best thing to ever happen a boy".
If you can't even get the lyric to fit the melody and just randomly cut one word to force it in, then there are clearly bigger problems too.

Catchy song. Fucking awesome - got it on repeat.
These guys are 60+ years old aren't they? Is anyone expecting another achtung baby? No one is making songs like this at their age. I love it. Keep it coming boys.....
Btw - although I like the Bass and music of BLACKOUT - I can't get into that song. Seems to go nowhere....will keep listening.
`i don't see it as a word randomly cut at all.. I like that line a lot... it's classic Bono writing.
Thank you, your entry for shittest take on the forum has been received and will be considered by the judges.
sorry for disagreeing with you Queen Bee
It really just isn't. Those defending it, what exactly do you think he is trying to say that necessitated the line in that form?
What it means maybe personal to Bono or the band. Fans can interpret it for how they want to. There are lyrics in most songs not just U2 that have different interpretations and meanings and don't make sense to listeners. One prime example is the lyric "dancer" in The Killers song Human. I think people are just overreacting. It sounds perfect to me and flows well.
To the folks complaining that there's too much going on, Apple Music says you're wrong.

But that point you are making is negated by the fact that it makes NO sense. Multiple interpretations is actually the opposite of that. It's more akin to the Killers line being "are we human are dancer"
