Well, we are all entitled to our own opinions, even if those opinions may be very, very wrong.

In my book there are... maybe about a dozen or so U2 songs better than The Crystal Ballroom.

But for what it's worth, I like what I'm hearing. This sounds like a fun song, a real upbeat number. I can't wait for a release ~~sometime next month, right guys?~~

I believe this song "Best Thing About Me" will be the first single.

This is a different version. Those sound like real drum snares not a drum machine.

Crystal Ballroom is cool, but to me it's also obviously U2's attempt at an Arcade Fire song. It's awesome, don't get me wrong, but I certainly wouldn't say it's one of their best. Maybe one of their best in the past while.

I always hear heavy New Order influence in Crystal Ballroom for some reason

I feel/hear cheap 80's discotheque in CB, that's why I'm not fan of it...

What's on the beach clips probably is not representative for the album. But it sounds like a good groove, and i like it when the band gets groovy.

I would'nt be surprised if the beasch clip is a SOI bside, Maybe they polished it up and they're going to release it as a bonus track in SOE deluxe Version,
