1. Goom Morning u2joost. I love it too. I've been listening to it for the last hour while reading some of the U2 forums. Probably 80% of the posts are negative. Bitching about the mix, a lyric, or it's a Taylor Swift pop song. People are so hypercritical nowadays. Maybe it's a good sign so many fans hate it. I remember the same backlash in 1991. And looked how that turned out.

    I'm trying to figure out how much i like the song. To me it beats any song on SOI, No Line, Bomb. Maybe even better than Beautiful Day.

  2. Liking the like dislike ratio, Wonder how long it will take to get to 1 million views.

    Now, this morning, it's blasting from my big speakers on full volume for the xth time, and I sing along and want to dance! Great song
    I know how you feel. My leg doesn't want to stop moving to the awesome beat.
  4. First reaction, meh, 2nd reaction "I don't like it, but will have to listen properly before I completely write it off" 30 listens, starting to grow on me, look back at previous posts if you like.

    Comparing U2 to Taylor swift is a joke

    I was just curious if it's growing on people. Some of their songs take awhile for people to like them
  7. All good, how did you feel the first time you heard it?
  8. I was reading other fan forum sites earlier. People hate it worse there.

    just had to share this with you.

    Goodmorning from me either, this morning I played it in my car to work. It's great, sounds well. And it's growing on me. Even my wife likes it, the first listen yesterday. If you listen well, there's a lot contents in this song.

    Well Edge, you destroyed the song. Both the Sci-Fi and the Kygo EDM remixes (I never thought I would say this) are superior to the final standard album/single mix.
