OK, this is my new fave. I played the iTunes video about a hundred times in a row tonight at block-rockin volume. It's on myPod. It's all over the tele. Sam cranked it up in his office yesterday, and being the fan of pre-Joshua Tree U2 that he is, loved it. Erin and I heard it on the radio after lunch and she described it perfectly: This song is hot.
Like Sam, it sounds to me like they're getting back to their roots. Less overdub, more anthem. How can you not like a song that starts off, "One, two, three, fourteen"? Bono can feeeeeeeeel and he let's you know it with a mere wail of invocation — no tears, no heart on his sleeve, just rock. Let's not tell him there's a war going on. This song is too much fun.

I LOVE this song!!!! I have -pretty much- blown out the speakers in my car because of this tune.
I haven't loved U2 for a while...I saw this song in the TV ad first and it made me sit up and take note. I'm liking it. A lot.
Yeah uhh, the song doesn't start out One, Two, Three, Fourteen, because 'Unos' is not one 'uno' is one. 'unos' is some or about. So the song starts out "About, Two, Three, Fourteen"
