Yeah, this album really got me back into U2 in a big way, after falling out with them through The Joshua Tree and Rattle & Ho-Hum.

A classic.  Made my afternoon (in spite of the fact that Achtung Baby has taken up permanent residence in my car...)

What a great song to wake-up!


According to Danny Lanois the new album seems to be a lot more inovative than the last two!

AWESOME

I'm always happy when I have a fresh opportunity to 1 rate a U2 song, but a very, very, very overplayed song really highlights the experience. Thanks!

had a dream lastnight where my 4yr old was lounging wearing this ridiciulous pair of sunglasses, something out of Brazil (the movie), acting totally cool, telling me she liked Bono. Very funny to me.
