sounds cool,
call me an idiot people i don't care but is U2 taking a new artistic approach to this record? just seems like they are going for more beats and ""modern"" sounding tunes.

Originally posted by JuJuman:I like what I hear, and I like the songs we've heard so far - with the exception of Best thing, which is doing well enough, but kind of sucks in the end (I like the acoustic version better, though). All in all, I think it should have been a B-side/bonus track, not the lead single. Bono says it is a punk-Motown song. Well, whatever: I think there's good and not so good songs, and Best thing is simply not as good as U2's even recent best. It is a new California, which was a new All because of you. None of these songs are really memorable. Nice enough verses, kind of not so inspired choruses. It's no good to excuse yourself by saying that a song is punk, when in truth the melody is wanting. I'd have liked something more melodic and Beatlesy. Windows in the sky - that was a great song, and a great single.
