U2 - Get On Your Boots, Single Review

Hiroshi Sugimoto’s artwork for U2’s forthcoming album, No Line On The Horizon, may be more apt than he realises. Get On Your Boots is not so much the sky meets the sea as it is Bono’s ego meets his libido, as the lecherous wee charmer chirps a paean to saving the world and gettin’ it on. Despite sterling work from The Edge, Bono’s oddly juxtaposed allusions to revolution and bringing the sexy back are awkward and detract from an otherwise strong single. Bono has amassed enough goodwill to be forgiven his indulgences, but he’s got to draw the line somewhere.
