    The song, the lyrics - It's just naff.
    It reminds me of Madge in her leotards, just stop.

    Not a Bruce Springstein fan but his new album is - how can I say - fitting!
    It's good.

    I was looking for the Grammy performance on Youtube when i stumbled across this cover version here:

    I think it's much better than the original...

    Love most of U2's previous stuff, always have had great time for the band, but this song is probably the worst they've ever done and I can't listen to it!

    Looks like someone at Universal will be getting fired this morning. Some enterprising fan was listening to clips on their Getmusic Australian site and tried to buy the tracks. The site let him buy them all and download them as well. So the album is out there now.

    meh. i think they do this deliberately. I did listen to 30 sec clips, from another "mistake", and it sounded good.

    Yeah, the sound quality is about 64kpbs reencoded at 256kbps to make it look like a decent quality copy. It's a deliberate leak, probably for a publicity stunt too.

    A friend is listening to it right now & it's excellent quality. A friend is also buying a copy of it when it's out

    Its out there allright,quality is cd quality most definitely.
    Very disappointing album overall after listening to it a couple of times.
    After over 4 years waiting for this its a big letdown.

    Just performed it (the first single) there on the Brits. Absolutely dire to be honest.
