"Get on Your Boots." Trippy White Stripes meets Revolver-era Beatles for a new sounds from the Boys from Dublin.

I say it's fanfriggintastic.

Oh yea, I definitely the White Strips lo-fi thing going on.

This is better than anything on their last 2 albums.
It kind of reminds me of The Fly.

I think it's great but I think there's equally great stuff on the last two albums.

Wonderful!

I am now putting on my (snow) boots to pay tribute. xo

I thought Atomic Bomb was pretty great, I was a little disappointed with All That You Can't Leave Behind.

But even a "disappointing" U2 album is better than most.

The only album that I have never been able to love is Zooropa. Probably b/c it followed Achtung Baby which is my favorite.

taz, I was also disappointed with Zooropa. Hated it, actually. In fact, I hate that I hated it so much, because I've always been a fan and found something to appreciate about each of their efforts. F--king MacPhisto. I get what he was trying to say, but I didn't enjoy it.

I like this new song--didn't love it straightaway--but I'm hoping it'll grow on me.

Bono remains the best frontman I've ever seen.

I've been listening to this new song all day and I love it. I'm excited for the album; from everything I've heard it seems like it's going to be amazing.

I love Zooropa. It has some of my favorite songs on it (Numb, Stay, The First Time). I agree that Achtung Baby was a nearly impossible album to follow (it's probably my favorite as well), but I don't think they did a bad job following it up with Zooropa.

Oh god, MacPhisto.

I loooooove the title song of Zooropa.

I heard this song this morning and thought it mediocre at best. Upon a second listen this evening, (and a bit of a dance around the apartment,) I'm really starting to enjoy it.

I love Zooropa too, #1Elphie. Between "Stay" and "Numb", I thought the album was divine. Pop on the other hand...

Call the understudy / I can't go on tonight / I'm drinking with my buddy / I'm getting good and tight / Before they raise the curtain I'll be higher than a kite / So call the understudy I can't go on tonight

I'm glad I'm not the only one, Namo. Uggh.

I've played this song about 5 times now and I hear something new everytime.

Anyone know which producer helmed this one? I'd guess Lanois.

I can hear a bit of both Eno and Lanois in it.

And I completely agree about Pop (or Plop), Jenna & Namo.
