U2's new single from the forthcoming album, No Line On The Horizon, is available today via iTunes. You can also listen to it for free on U2.com. It's a rocker with some Beatlesesque melodies. Good song. Enjoy.

Yeah, I can definitely hear the Beatles in there. Very nice.

Just heard it myself, then saw your post.

I like it. Doesn't really sound like anything else they've done, I don't think. Somewhat "Atomic Bomb"-ish maybe.

"Satan" and "Bomb Scares" and "Sexy Boots" and more pseudo-political/spiritual lyrics that I'm not smart enough to decipher - but as usual, I still love it.....and someday Bono will explain it to me like he alway does

I read one blog say it had Alice In Chains-like harmonies on some parts. I heard that more than Beatle-esque harmonies (though I'm sure Bono, etc. weren't that influenced by AiC). :-)

The great thing about U2 songs is that they take some digging to get into fully.

Anyone know whether Rush has something coming out? :)
