Hell, they could do worse and never play it at all like White As Snow.
Originally posted by drewhiggins:Ok then. Why not cutting Magnificent or Unknown Caller? If something is 7 minutes you play it for 7 minutes.

No Line should have been it

Why would anyone think MoS would make a good single? It'll put people to sleep.
Unknown Caller would have worked much better if they wanted a stadium rock single

UC would never have worked. It would erect the same reactions as with Get On Your Boots. 'Oeh, they are trying to be hip'

How so, on GOYB they do come across as tryhards.
But UC is completely different, they've done stuff like that before, it definitely sounds like a typical soaring, epic U2 song.
Plus the dynamism between the verses and the chorus is excellent. And the chorus hook is very catchy

no. people dont understand u2 anymore. or no, they dont want to understand u2 anymore. they want to be entertained the first time they hear the song. not after the 5th time.

Thats why UC is good, it is entertaining the first time around
