Listening to on Radio Paradise

I happen to like the beat, the playful lyrics, and overall urge to dance. Good song, good album. I also liked their whole Pop Mart deal, too. I agree that you have to appreciate a band for trying different things. Take Dave Matthews Band's "Before These Crowded Streets." I don't like DMB, but I like that one because of its edginess.

I totally agree! Pure crap!

I hated this album. If it wasn't for the guitar riff in the background I'd say its a no brainer.

Let's not forget The Smiths' earlier take on a similar rhyme scheme: Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others (...some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers).

This isn't a change the world song, but sheesh, U2 has a million of those already. Nice and laid back. :-)

So I am reading about the Jesus Tomb controversy and thinking gosh I need some music... And when I hook up to Radio Paradise it is U2 singing the line "Some days are work, most days you're lazy Some days you feel like a bit of a baby Lookin' for Jesus and His mother Some days are better than others " FREAKY STUFF MAN!

Being a big fan of U2, this one will probably not become one of their all times best, at least the lyrics will not end up in English literature books. Some days one had better go fishing or wanking.

One of my FAVORITE U2 songs. I think it's that Adam Clayton bassline.

Some days you just need to hear some U2 :-)

I don't share the feeling, but please enjoy. I'd personally rather never hear U2
