Hahaha! Actually, I love ATYCLB and think that HTDAAB was pretty good. but I will agree that there's nothing special about Mercy....YET. Hopefully they make it better. Perhaps add some Moroccan instruments?

great song!!!!!!love it!!!!
-
definatley a few great great lyrics in there but it's not great. . . . .yet -
I'm sure the song will be big, epic. -
Mercy rocks my socks off, but i dont want it to be included on their next album as a main song, wanna have 12-ish completely new songs. Having it as a hidden track though will be great, and them performing it live.
I can't wait for their next tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gotta see them at least twice. Have a weekend away in a foreign country- fun times. -

Ok, i just don't understand the idea of this song not being put on the next album.
Have you heard the under-par shit they put on HTDAAB? come on...a man and a woman...
This song is to me, other hardcore U2 fans (and i'm sure, soon to be, millions of other people) a defining soundtrack to what U2 is about.
Look at the trademarks of classic, great U2 that surface in this song
*Epic Songwriting
*Inventively yet minimally used Delay
*Bono's lyrics in the voice of an almost noir character. "When i was rippin the stitches"// (a la the Wanderer)
*Larry and Adam perfectly intertwined, driving up and releasing the chorus.
*Howling Chorus
*Sounds like its gonna go down fucking great in a stadium
(and more importantly than anything else)
*It has that indistinguishable feeling that it is just U2, that feeling of awe and wonder, the way the ground might be shaking, and the feeling in the room has changed.
*Rant ends here.
Although not finished, Mercy is a classic. And when given the final touch will be revered as so. -

I hope you're right, because IMO, it's not there yet. -

I'm glad it wasn't put on the bomb, they can definately better the original version.
I personally would love to hear a bit more delay used more frontally in the song.
The Lyrics need a few tweaks, but the soul of the song is...Titanium
