Looked a bit of a sausagefest at the recording of the video. I expect the video of the forthcoming single will redress the gender balance.

Great track- better than vertigo, miracle and definitely better than boots.

I'd say it's better than The Miracle. The Miracle is guilty of those tiring "ooooohs" in the hook, it doesn't really do anything interesting rhythmically and the studio version sounds way too overdone. Live it was great, but still - there's a reason U2 aren't playing it right now alongside Vertigo, Beautiful Day, Elevation, etc.

Both are great, and it's still the first day, but I'd say The Blackout is already more fun and interesting to me, musically.
