U2

The mighty global force that are U2 are back with a new single, and album to follow. Brits opener Get On Your Boots is a powerhouse of a track, and also a very commercial number. Taking the boys back to their Pop days, this is track is a grower. At first it is a mish mash of sounds, but somewhere it all comes together – driving bassline, Bono’s trademark lyrics standout, although lyrically it is not their finest moment – 'You free me from the dark dream; candy floss ice cream'. Hmmm. Also, not sure it required the Happy Mondays-esque 'Yeah Hey Hey’ at the end of the track.

B side 'No Line on the Horizon’ is a worthy track as well; perhaps more conventional U2 and still a strong track.
