    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:

    Sounds U2y, Bono trying to write Subterranean Homesick Blues, w/ a Queen like quick stab pre-chorus. 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:

    The single sounds like Queen of the Stone Ages, particularly the chorus. Interesting.

    30 second clips from the album here:

    Track 2, Magnificent sounds like a very classic U2 track, it'll probably be the next single. I'm most looking forward to Track 10, Breathe.
