Indeed.
I think Get On Your Boots is a much better song than Magnificent. Boots is experimental and fun, while Magnificent quickly gets boring after a few listens. I liked Magnificent when I first got NLOTH, now I think it's the worst song. Back then I thought Boots was the worst song, now I think it's one of the best.
Originally posted by KieranU2GOYB... better than Magnificent?! Are you crazy? Don't get me wrong, I like both songs but GOYB is just cheesy and cringy. 50 year old men singing "You don't know how beautiful you are... Get on your boots... Sexy boots" - ugh, sounds horrible, but it's catchy. Magnificent is the all round better song - better lyrics, suits U2, it's what the fans prefer.

Potentially. I also think No Line On The Horizon 2 could've been a decent single, slightly more bouncy than the album version and posibly better than Magnificent.

i listened to No Line 2 many more times than Boots from that single

They should've released one of the Magnificent remixes as lead single. Moreover, I believe the radio edit has a short intro, while that's the best part of the song.
