I don't know what to think. - Street of Dreams.
I can't seem to form an opinion on the latest track - i mean from the 30 seconds we got, it feels quite uninspired. Stuff like 'be free', and 'be yourself'. ugh, i wish we were past that stuff. American Obituary was a step in the right direction, it had that 'fuck off' sound Bono said he wanted. It just pains me to think U2 songs are on the road of "wise messages to the youth who will inherit the world". I don't want that. They are their own band and they need to remember it. In addition to this, before, Bono had a new look nearly every album, but now, he has stuck with the same look for 10 years (2016). All this suggests to me that they are uninspired to find anything new. I really don't want this.
But I know the band have a great ear for what is a hit and what isn't, and this... As a SINGLE? Even "Get on your boots had more grit than this" - fellow U2 fan. They literally made stuff like 'scars' and 'resurrection song' not that long ago. Help me form an opinion.
Do you think it's just a bad single choice?
Or is it a clue to a whole album having this sound?
