Just heard the new U2 single, it soundd like a bad cover version of their song from a few years back vertigo, its awful.

Sounds like the theme to Only Fools & Horses to me

I've heard it described as a Pump it up/Only fools and horses re-make. I haven't had the pleasure myself yet.

Sound to me like the were listening alot to the Rated R by queens of the stoneage when they recorded it.

Its taken me quite a few listens to get in to this song.Its definetly not a U2 classic but it has something about it.It sounds like a rock n roll funky pop song.
From reading reveiws about the forthcoming album its seems that the rest of the new songs are different than Get On Your Boots.

Hit the nail on the head there Optimist.

'White Snow', 'Ceadors of Lebanon' and 'Unknown Caller' are meant to be the 3 best tracks on the album. IMO 'Mercy' is their best song....hasnt been officially released on an album or as a single though.

That's not being released as a single is it? It's pretty bad alright..

**NeilMcD** · 20/01/2009, 2:01 PM

U2 have kicked off most of their last few albums with an up temto song that hints at a new direction.

The Fly
Discotheque
Beautiful Day
Vertigo

This falls in to that category.

Kind of a Joy Division feel off Mercy. Its meant to be on the new album as another title I think.

Think i heard they would only release it if they could cut it down, its 8/9 minutes long. They have a habit of doing that, sure Ultra Violet, Lady With The Spinning Head, Until The End Of The World and The Fly are all from the same template!!
