U2 Sallies Forth
We’re about 90 minutes from the U.S. release of No Line on the Horizon, U2’s latest studio album. It’s gotten generally glowing reviews (ranging from 3-5 stars), but the single “Get Your Boots On” has left me somewhat apprehensive. It’s less a song than a hodgepodge of disjointed, funky verses linked with a vapid bridge and a nonsensical refrain (“Sexy boots!…Sexy boots!”). I wonder if the rest of the album will be as such. I doubt it, but you never know.
Still, like Ellis Redding, I hope. Regardless of what it sounds like, I will be listening to the entire album, perhaps twice, tonight.
The band thinks this is their best song, and I agree. Enjoy.
