I think a lot of people are too stubborn and set in their ways to give it a chance to grow on them. It does surprise me the people who proudly state they won’t give it another chance after one listen or not even a full listen in some cases. All that does is devalue the persons opinion. I didn’t come to the conclusion October is U2’s worst album after just one listening experience.

I always thought October was their worst album, but Songs Of Ignorance is putting up a really tough fight. I think this new song is ok. But just to show how people's opinions vary, I still love Stuck In A Moment as a classic song, but the venom on this site for it is real. Some just don't like U2's cheesy pop side. Had Invisible, Crystal Ballroom, Lucifer's Hands, and the original Ordinary Love, the acoustic Breaking Wave been on the actual album, and maybe had California's intro been shortened, SOI would've probably avoided worst album for me, but the way it was released, it is. This new song is what it is, a track for a kid's movie, and I may grow to like it more, but the last 15 years we keep hearing about new sounds, but it's the same old thing and style. SOE is better, but Book Of Your Heart is more proof they are terrified of putting the best songs on the actual albums. Yearning for hits that never come for over 40 acts. Uh, over 50 acts, uh, ancient acts. Pop hits are difficult for those over 35 these days, and their chasing for hits would be like me trying to go to a club filled with 18 year old girls expecting to get a date. Foolish.

Totally agree with you ,Coldplay, Ed sheeran get a free pass with the absolute drivel they've put out recently but the Indo always like to put the boot into U2 as they have been the leaders in pushing the anti U2 sentiment that exists in the some of the Irish publics mindset
Originally posted by Pauln:Looks like it was clever timing on U2’s part to release this a day before ABBA’s only album in the last 40 years! They’ve rightly taken over all the music media headlines since.
It’s worth comparing what Bruce Springsteen has done recently. Any left field project he does as a solo artist, while an E street band release doesn’t mess too much with their tried and tested formula.
If Bono had done that song as a solo effort I wonder would it have attracted the same backlash?
