I was merely bringing up ABOY because it is about as conventional a "song" as I can think of. By way of contrast, Cedars is clearly better.

It depends on what mood I'm in

For my part, Cedars is one of the stand-outs on NLOTH along with MOS, Magnificent, and Being Born.

I really liked F-BB at first, but now there just doesn't seem to be much to the song.

I always think it's more like a soundtrack piece.

For me, what I find a lot of 00's U2 lacking is atmosphere and mood, that track is drenched in it.

I still don't get why they didn't open the album with it.  NLOTH wasn't even a single.

I don't get why Moment of surrender wasn't the first single.

The length of it must be the only reason, surely.

It would be the first single of a 90s U2.

Yeah, they should have released it regardless. I wouldn't have released any other singles with it. Just MOS. I'd also delete GOYB from all existence.

The first single should have been No Line 2, then Magnificent, then Crazy and Boots.
