I think this is a 9.

I agree with 9. Not the best song on Achtung, but still superb.

7. Good tune. Just outside the top 50 though.

This is a brilliant song, takes U2 places they'd never been before and haven't been since... so I give it a 10.

Weakest song on the album.
I don’t dislike it, I think it’s a good song, but I find myself skipping it quite often.

One of their top 5 songs, and one of Bono's very best lyrics.

7/10, but I should've went with an 8/10.
Strong, powerful lyricism and effective instrumentation. Bono's backing harmonies are some of his best ever recorded.

4. I have NEVER understood the love for this one. It's plodding and overlong.

An undeniable showcase of Bono is his prime. This is better than One.

I empathize (plus, I'm not a big fan of heartbreak songs), but it's grown on me over the years. It starts to shimmer somewhere in the middle. 7.

It's one of the most mixed bags for me.
Sure, some of the best lyrics.
Also, some of the worst.
Great Larry. Larry is solid.
Bono maybe overBono'd it.
