No Line on the Horizon First single, Get On Your Boots: http://goyb.u2.com/ It takes a bit to load. It's also up on iTunes.
Thanks for the link. As a rabid U2 fan, I have been looking forward to the new single and album. "Get on Your Boots" sounds like a continuation of "Vertigo" in some sense, which is not necessarily a bad thing but I was hoping for something a bit different after all the hype about a completely "new" sound. Anxious to hear the other tracks.
I like the fuzzy guitar and bass. It's kind of like the b*stard child of Vertigo and the unreleased song Xanax and Wine: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4RtY5L3ZQlM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4RtY5L3ZQlM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Not ****e, not dynamite.
We're people having trouble with the official stream? I chose to post that because I assumed all the youtubes will be pulled down every few hours. Anyways, here's one without the radio interruptions: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vq5pp862WYw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Vq5pp862WYw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I'm most looking forward to Track 10, Breathe.
