I recently got an advanced copy of U2’s new release “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb”. I must be busy ’cause I sat on the disk for a couple of days before getting around to listening to it. U2 has got to be one of my most favorite bands and for me to not cling to the CD with both hands and run to the player immediately is beyond me. From what I’ve heard, U2 decided to produce this album on their own -and get back to the roots of their original sound. I have to admit after playing the album many times now, they sure hit the target there! This album is just incredible!!! “Vertigo” seems to be their flagship tune but I see it more as their one “mainstream” tune so they’ll at least appeal to the Top-40 crowd while the rest of the album is pure musical gold.
