I love the electric energy and raw sound of "The Blackout". With its heavy guitar riffs and distinctive bass lines, it´s a powerful rock song that´s both classic and fresh. Lyrically, it truly fits in our times characterised by political changes and a feeling of uncertainty. Despite the darkness surrounding us Bono´s lyrics also succeed to express a sense of hope as they refer to "the light that we can really be". The stunning black and white images of the video capture the excitement and intensity of a live performance in a small venue where we can feel the great connection between band and audience once again.

Great song. It gets better and better with every listening. Powerful bass notes. Excelent lyrics. Bono again and again writing fine texts. I can't wait for the new album!

Fantastic, strong song from the boys..can't wait to hear more. x

U2 deliver again and again and again

When are you guys coming Down Under?? It is time.

I have no facebook ;(((((((( Vivement the next week to hear that new song ! Bravo à u2 pour cet bel enchaînement : tournée / nouvel album and so a wonderful tour!

So new and different and modern... Adam Clayton is awesome! What a performance! A big punch!! LOved the lyrics! SOE

like its predecessors, this is what we'll be jumping to next tour. <3 Thank you

Great new track from the boys, can't wait for the new album!!!!

Thanks for making this tune available to your fans. I can hear the guitar part that Adam shared from Jacknife Lee's studio titled songs of innocence coming to life in the middle of song. Glad to hear a rough rock and roll sound, not so polished, let's have some more of that!

To me the 15 second clip sounded like a pretty okish or good b-side. But when I hear the full song it is really great and I love it! Top song ... so you know what this plus the two other tracks (the little things and best thing) I have heard ... Im expecting Songs of Experience to be one of, if not the, greatest U2 albums of all time.

Terrible, even Boots is better than this One direction pop. Chorus.

love the new song! keep them coming - see you in Buffalo in 5 days!!!

”The sleep of reason produces monsters”, Francisco Goya. “There’s a radiante darkness upon us”, Francisco Goya. “I see only forms that are lit up and forms that are not. There is only light and shadow”, Francisco Goya.

Again and again : Thank You !!! Another great song : thanx.

As far as I'm concerned it sounds old style a little bit, I've not found anything which have reminded 90's, but it's cool. Hope to hear it soon during next concerts!

Some of the best U2 songs need a gladiatorial scrap between Adam and Edge. The dynamic between these two drives the groove, pushing and shoving the song all over the place, and to a good place. You don't hear bass like this often enough these days. Adam- you own this one.

The Blackout is such an amazing song, Achtung Baby vibes with modern touches; such a punk rock song with strong lyrics and uplifting spirit! If you guys tour in 2018, that song should be your opener! And PLEASE visit GREECE! We are waiting for you once more lads <3 Keep up the great work, cannot wait for the new album to be released!

Love the energy and the Adam's bass !! Can't wait to hear it in studio version !

Blackout: simply wonderful !! I ❤YOU guys!

This song will be the next trailer of a great movie or advertisement.

Great song! Grazie A big kiss to all. Ciao Luisa

Sounds great...can't wait to see you on Sunday in Detroit!!!

Love the new musics from the album I just hope I can see you guys live, for the first time, in Portugal in SIE Tour. PS: please come to Portugal!!!!

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!

Can hardly wait for Songs of Experience. I'm pretty sure and excited that Blackout will be opener for tour next year. Can hardly wait to hear new single next week and also Little Things on Tour next year. Fav and best band in the universe....

First, The Little Things That Give You Away and now Blackout! I can't wait for the full album, I need it now! I hope they play this one live along with The Little Things at this coming concert in Kansas.
