'Beyond Compare...'

2 Feb 2005
The NME in the UK is quite taken with U2's new single, 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own'.

'What with the politics, you can lose sight of what a fantastic rock'n'roll band U2 actually are. An ideal counterweight to the holler of 'Vertigo'. 'Sometimes...' is a gentle strum of determined rhythm that grows with a mastery that is almost beyond compare.'

NME is on the streets in the UK now.

'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own' is released on February 7th. More
