Seems like a long string of gibberish to me.

Magic may be, but it's not a proper U2 song, and it lacks artistic merit.

I wasn't talking about musical taste, I was talking about artistic acheivement and merit.
An analogy:
It's like saying the bucket of paint you spilt on your floor, is as much a piece of art as the Sistine Chapel or something is.
As Edison said: Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
The crux of my earlier point was that Moment of Surrender could have been the epic it was touted has, if they had only spent more time on it and not been so indulgent as to record one take, declare it perfect and stick it on the record.

One take doesn't mean it didn't took them a long time
The mixing, getting Bono's voice right and the lyrics might have taken days
And I dunno know, but it makes me proud that U2 can play such a song in one take, shows some of their skills

It has merit. Who are you to say what a proper u2 song is?

Can we make this topic more about MoS again?
Great tune, can't wait to hear it live
What snippets would you guys like to hear in this song this tour?

Indeed, we're above this silly arguing, aren't we
Live is gonna be either amazing and mind blowing, or it will just fall apart. But earlier someone (Was it Aaron?) Mentioned Surrender would work, and I have to agree
