2/5

Underwhelming is an overstatement for 'Get On Your Boots,' U2's latest from the just-released' No Line on the Horizon, and its spacey music video only hammers another nail into their impending coffin. Bono leans like a rocking chair, the Edge fake-riffs karaoke style, Adam hamfists the bass, Larry bangs on the same old pots 'mdash; it ain't gonna cut it for fans bred on heartbreak anthems and punk-edged outcries. But Bono won't quit without our approval. 'Let me in the sound!' he screams over and over, transporting a group known for risk-taking grandeur on an atmospheric backtrack into the days of Unforgettable Fire, more a frenetic midlife crisis than anything resembling a classic.
