		<description>&lt;i&gt;Also, is it wrong that I sort of prefer the visuals on the Anton Corbjin version of the clip&lt;/i&gt;

I dunno about &lt;i&gt;wrong&lt;/i&gt;, but it&#039;s something of a litmus test of your take on U2. Basically, you clearly prefer the look-and-feel of &#039;90s U2. The Corbijn version is basically a cross between the lighting and starkness of &quot;One,&quot; the deadpan-humor vibe of the &lt;i&gt;Zooropa&lt;/i&gt; era, and a bit of the kitsch of &quot;Discotheque.&quot; For me, it&#039;s Corbijn repeating old tropes -- and I&#039;m normally a fan.

I much prefer the new clip, glossy as it is. Frankly, what I like best about it is its shameless &#039;80s-ness -- it looks like a peak Simple Minds clip, or even one of those second-rate 1985ish bands like King, Cock Robin or Icehouse. Which makes it work perfectly for the song! What I like about &quot;Magnificent&quot; is the way it effortlessly evokes &#039;80s U2, which is not even my favorite era of theirs (I actually prefer their &#039;90s albums) but is at this point a more interesting vein for them to mine.

Honestly, I&#039;m kind of &quot;meh&quot; on &lt;i&gt;No Line on the Horizon&lt;/i&gt; in general, but this song and maybe the title track come closest to what I think they were trying to achieve on that record -- bringing back some of that &lt;i&gt;Unforgettable Fire&lt;/i&gt; mystery.</description>
