The chorus careens around the world and lands back on the fuzzy riff. What makes this a good song and not a great song, however, is that the verses and bridge do almost nothing to deserve such a fantastic chorus. The bridge sounds like it was cut out of a different song and is overly repetitive and almost headache inducing in its mechanical sound; it doesn't take the song to a new place and elevate the chorus or riff to new heights like all great bridges do. I like it but the lack of continuity gets a B minus from me. This new U2 single soars in the chorus. The chorus careens around the world and lands back on the fuzzy riff.

Not exactly what I expected from my favorite band after 5 years of work! Hope there is more to it that I just don't get but I doubt it. Waiting to hear the rest of the album. I'm still exited about it since they have never let me down so far. combine “vertigo” and “dscoteque” and you get “boots”. Not exactly what I expected from my favorite band after 5 years of work!

Of course, U2 live isn't too bad either...Get on your boots mixes a spice of flamenco music, Queen, ELO and Elvis Costello.

ROCKS! and yet it’s sexy enough for the ladies true to what’s been said - lot’s of layered electronic percussion or processed percussion perhaps. I think, for me, the thing that really strikes me is the production. Everything is upfront and present, and yet they’ve achieved space and clarity around each sound. It’s somehow full and yet lean at the same time. I think by going with the fuzzed-out guitar and traditional drums as one drum layer, they keep the Rock edge. And, yet the vocals and the other percussion/sounds seem to utilize modern/R&B production…compression techniques? For sure this rocks but it also sounds so modern! I guess Edge wasn’t bluffing - It really is Rock 2009! I’ve got to admit, I didn’t get what they were going for on 1st listen. But, that’s when you know you’ve generally got U2 at their best. Glad they’ve decided to innovate & evolve this time around! oh man! i bought the new single from itunes.
