A couple of technical things!

Please do not post DOWNLOAD links to the song, i.e. s e n d s p a c e, m e g a u p l o a d, etc.

There is a reason why we have those sites censored on this forum. It's a copyright violation to post links to ANY commercial

I'd still like to know..if I buy the deluxe version of NLOTH on iTunes, will the digital booklets and bonus material sync to my iPod or will I only be able to view it on iTunes?

Hi Mandy!

The current version is much better than the beach clip imo. The extended time has done wonders.

Mr. Millennium · 01-19-2009, 11:57 AM

Earlier this morning a radio station in Philadelphia took some calls about the song. The reviews were mixed, with the general consensus being that the song is okay; not their best, but not their worst. A few people mentioned that it sounded more like a U2 bside than a lead off single.

I think it is interesting that this might be the first time in a few albums were the lead off single may not be the most well known or popular one to the general public after the campaign is over. I guess Achtung Baby may have been the last instance of this, as the majority of people know Mysterious Ways, One, and Even Better Than The Real Thing far better than they do The Fly.

Most important point

Even rap is not new for U2. As Adam Clayton said they are swimming against their past successes and don't want to lose.

The drums and the chorus remind me of those old 1960's surf music...its so cool!!!!
