U2 - Get On Your Boots
 Album:
No Line On The Horizon (2009)
  2. At first listen, the boys are back with a cracker.
    Buy the album, download at first to get your fix, but then go out and buy it.
    Magnificent is magnificent, at last Edge does a fucking guitar solo worth talking about.
    Then follows up with Moment of Surrender.

  4. skipped it every time i've played the album


  8. Don't know about that. It's more complex than the whole Bomb, IMO.


  9. True, but of all the tracks I can't think of one sounding Bombier than this one. That's just me though.
  10. You guys up for another review? Of course you are.

    Get On Your Boots. Where would we be without the sexy, the boots, Satan, the kids, ghosts, as well as letting you in the sound? We'd have an incomplete album, that's what. Yes, it seems odd to put something like this in the middle of the album, but for good reason.

    Try placing it next to Magnificent, Breathe or White As Snow. It doesn't work, does it?

    Anyway, what we've got is probably the funkiest track on No Line, with a real message behind it. I'll leave it to you to find out what that message is - whole lines give it away - but 'you get it, you don't get it, or do you?' I personally like, not love, but like, the song as a whole. It goes by so quick, yet it leaves an impression on you. It's a complete distraction from the rest of the album, and that's what great about it.

    For all that three minutes and 25 seconds, it's a great introduction to the next song, not necessarily (or at all) to the next 23 minutes of the album, and for that, I give it 7 / 10.

    Now you made me curious with that 'message'...lol. Speak up!


  12. You've gotta find out for yourself. That's the idea.
