Elvis Costello might have something to say about it, Pump It Up.

Finally someone responds! To be honest, I didn't like it at first. It's grown on me though. It's the shortest song on the new album. Hopefully the other ones will be better. March 3rd!!!!

Just bought the whole album on an official Universal site from Australia that accidentally posted it. Too early to tell how it ranks among all U2 albums, but I am liking it a lot. It seems to me that Boots was the weakest song.

Interesting. Vertigo was their weakest song on the last album IMO. So we shall see.

It is kinda a mix of HTDAAB and All That You Can't Leave Behind. I'm liking it so far.

The first time I heard the song, I was disappointed. The guys on the radio who played it, talked about it afterwords and sounded disappointed as well.

I played the 30 second clip for the first time since then and suddenly it sounded like classic U2. I'll have to hear the rest before I decide to buy the album.

You can hear the whole album on Myspace.

Just look under the Playlist section and enjoy the glory of U2!

First time I heard it I thought it was Queens Of The Stone Age for the first few bars.

I'm underwhelmed to be honest!

I'm a huge fan of U2....but this just isn't floating my boat.

Hopefully it will grow on you.

As I said in the other U2 thread, I am quite pleased with the new CD. Very good stuff.
