	Digg - How To: Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
		Sure, the odds are slim that you'd ever be faced with an atomic device ticking down to zero.
		If you were Jack Bauer, you wouldn't need to know how to dismantle an atomic bomb -- just grab the guy nearest you and torture him (preferably with a make-shift electrocution device) until he tells you.
		so, in short what you would generaly do if you were to actualy dissassemble the bomb would be to remove the detonator caps from the explosive that initiates the chain reaction.

		But their new album, How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, shows the band to be more capable than ever of handling the stress of being possibly the greatest rock band ever.
		And on that count, that is how Vertigo is representative of the new record: the Edge is the unquestioned star, and the rest of the band, while not quite just along for the ride, clearly take a bit of a back seat.
		When all is said and done, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is a solid record, and an improvement on the somewhat over-rated All That You Can't Leave Behind, which was really only a 3.5 star record (which I rounded up to 4 stars IIRC).

	U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - Island Records - CD
		How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is very much a logical progression from U2’s previous studio release.
		Atomic Bomb is very much The Edge’s album musically, owing its leaner character to his ever driving guitar hooks.
		Atomic Bomb is the sound of a band that’s playfully examining where it’s been, it’s also a thoughtful examination of larger, more forward-looking themes.

		How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, the long-awaited 2004 sequel to ATYCLB, proves that this retreat was no mere fling: the band is committed to turning back the clock and acting like the '90s never happened.
		Gone are the heavy dance beats, gone are the multiple synthesizers, gone are the dense soundscapes that marked their '90s albums, but U2 are so concerned with recreating their past that they don't know where to stop peeling away the layers.
		Sometimes, this works to the band's detriment, since it can reveal how familiar the Edge 's guitar has grown or how buffoonish Bono 's affectations have become (worst offender: the overdubbed "hola!" that answers the "hello" in the chorus of "Vertigo").

	How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is the hugely successful and critically acclaimed eleventh studio album by Irish rock band U2, released on November 19, 2004.
		In late 2004, "Mercy", an unreleased track taken from the How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb sessions, surfaced on the internet thanks to a fan who had been given a copy of the album containing the extra track.
		However, it has created a debate over its lack of inclusion on How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (it was left off, along with "Fast Cars", which surfaced as a bonus track in some countries, to prevent the album from running too long over an hour).

		HTDAAB is an album U2 has never done and is one of thier best.
		Atomic Bomb is a remarkably consistent album, but it lacks the soaring moments of past albums.

	Kenneth Tanner on U2 on National Review Online
		At first it seems Atomic Bomb might be an admirable twin of 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind, a stellar record by any standard, but not quite reaching the achievement of The Joshua Tree, or the band's magnum opus, Achtung Baby!
		was the divorce album, Atomic Bomb is the marriage album, and reflected in Bono's marriage to Ali is the singer's marriage to God.
		Bob Hewson was an amateur opera singer who loved to listen to operas in his sitting room at night, directing the songs, as Bono recalls, with knitting needles.

		I was expecting nothing more than an additional chapter of U2-Mach 3, which began with their most literal (and least poetic) record, `All That You Can't Leave Behind' (2000).
		Of course, the profile of that record, and in particular, the uplifting singles "Stuck in a Moment" and "Walk On", straddling the fence between the realm of classic U2 and the stereotype knee-jerk anthems, were undoubtedly boosted by 9/11.
		Opinions may be divided among fans, I personally have followed the band for many years now and just don't like it, I have tried to find something appealing and came to like `Crumbs from your table' but that's the most I have achieved.

	The eleven worst songs of 2004.
		Their last major release was in 2000, an album which was so inconsequential that merely labeling it as such bumps it into a lesser category of sucktitude (but just barely, so eat shit).
		When Bono's not mumbling like an idiot, he's trying to be emotional by flailing his arms in the air like he's so overcome that he can't help but bellow out a limp-dick line like "I can feeeeEEEEEEeeeeeel." Pussy.
		There's a part in the song--I think just after the chorus is repeated for the 60th or 70th time--where Bono decides that his unrelentingly obnoxious lyrics aren't pissing you off enough, so he derails completely and starts mumbling even more incoherently "woooao woooao woooao." Yeah, those are some "seriously heavy lyrics," dipshit.

	How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb Rebuilds the Heart - byFaith Online
		In their concerts, Bono would break out in to spontaneous worship, quoting Scripture, meshing songs from past and present, rousing a chorus of fans singing, “Hallelujah,” as if he were sending a message: The Kingdom of the God is at hand.
		In How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, anticipation becomes revelation, breaking out with apocalyptic glory in the opening song Vertigo.
		My hunch is that it is a state of the heart, possibly the fate of a generation bent on self-reliance, science and medicine, Dr. Phil books, Oprah-ology, political solutions to spiritual problems, an entrenched narcissism, and a deeper belief in the power of a military than the power of prayer.

	U2: How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (2004): Reviews
		Atomic Bomb is a reduction of U2's most definable characteristics into a very basic formula: impassioned vocals lent extra gravity by Bono's wavering voice; guitars that chime like bells; thick, meaty rhythm section workouts; slowly seductive hooks that build to triumphant, emotional, endorphin-releasing choruses.
		Yet in spite of the odds, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb finds U2 sounding just as passionate as it did on 1980's Boy, and just as committed to converting that passion into sprawling pop songs about God, love, and the world's injustices.
		How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb may be unadventurous and melodramatic, but it is packed with disarming moments.

		Their newest album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, is their sixth to open at the top of the charts, has been lauded by a majority of music critics, and will most likely go down in history as one of their top five best records.
		One song, “A Man and a Woman,” does have an interesting Spanish-acoustic feel; other than that, there is nothing about the music itself that is worthy of the critical praise that Atomic Bomb is currently receiving.
		With love.” The atomic bomb, which epitomizes the darkness in mankind which is “the destroyer of worlds,” can only finally be dismantled by transforming the darkness within our souls into light.

		Their new album – How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - went straight to number one last week, as did the single ‘Vertigo’.
		HTDAAB is everything you’d expect from a U2 record – and, as such, it will disappoint those hoping for a surprise, while delighting others who love the winning formula.
		HTDAAB effuses the earthy, honest spirituality that has both challenged us and given succour over 20 years.

	Plan 9 Music: Album: U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
		This time, it's the quartet's recently released HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, which finds the band attempting to reinvent itself for the public with a delicate balance between revisiting old soundscapes and keeping up with the tip of tomorrow's new direction.
		While not as groundbreaking as say ACHTUNG BABY, or as POP attempted to be, HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB is a middle-of-the-road U2 album that finds the band tinkering but maintaining its successful formula of sweeping alternative-minded rock.
		While still ticking and always a threat, U2's atomic bomb of impending career annihilation that all super-acts must deal with remains inactive for the time being.

	How to dismantle an atomic bomb……… U2
		The song strength of the previous album was exceptional and very hard to follow up in my view, so we have an edgier riff driven 11 songs laying a foundation for the Bonofication.
		They had made big money but they happily spent it again on unbelievable extravagances for their live performances, the like of which may never be seen again.
		How do you follow up Zoo TV with its Gulf War inspired multi-televisual bombardment? Why not do another even bigger one capturing the obscenity of commercialism and corporate greed in our world?

	How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb \| music : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		During an interview with the Edge before the release of All That You Can't Leave Behind four years ago, U2's modest, skullcapped guitarist told me the band was apprehensive when he dusted off his trademark needle-prick sound for ''Beautiful Day''; their first reaction was that it felt too predictable.
		On How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, however, not only is the Edge once more flicking away at his strings just like old times, but many of the grand gestures U2 had dismantled with each new, exploratory album following The Joshua Tree are also back for a return engagement.
		Then Bono adds, almost as an afterthought, ''You're the reason I sing.'' At least he has a reason, which, at this stage of their game, is justification enough for anyone to still care about U2.

		Well no. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is the sound of a band who, with a confident swagger, have finally decided on content over style.
		'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb' sees U2 return to their classic sounding mix of rock, pop and strong songwriting skills, harking back to the days of 'The Unforgettable Fire' and 'The Joshua Tree'.
		So when I heard HTDAAB I was at first disappointed, but if your expectations were the same as mine please stick with it, after a couple of listens you realise although it is a quiet and simple album like the early era the songs are very strong.

	Ken Tanner on the new u2 album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
		Another day with the record will banish any doubt that Atomic Bomb is, song for song, a work of art: complex, gutsy, intimate, demanding, eloquent and ravishing.
		Of all the rock clichés the U2 brothers overturn, it is perhaps their love for each other—held together despite strong wills and tested by time—that enables not only their longevity but an enduring ability to produce albums of rock music that belong among the genre’s best.
		The first half of the book deconstructs an ancient Hindu quote that enshrines fear, emptiness, destruction, and death as the world's reigning realities, and then replaces that nihilistic perspective with one based on affirmations of life made possible by incarnate Love.

	U2 (How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb) mxdwn.com review by Thea Cooke
		How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb may sound like a primer in peaceful politicking, but don't be fooled; U2's latest blockbuster venture is more a love story than anything else.
		With religious and political undertones winding throughout the album, the main focus is on the tones of remorse, longing and infatuation that the band relates.
		Overall, Bomb is an appealing semi-political album that does not feel dated.

	How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - Wal-Mart
		There are an equal number of reflective, mid-tempo tunes whose direct emotional impact recalls the more elegiac tracks on OCTOBER, giving the whole album a dynamic depth of field.
		Whether rocking like madmen or getting in touch with their inner selves, though, the band sounds totally committed throughout ATOMIC BOMB, which has always been the first requirement for a great U2 album.
		Processing time for an item is the time from when you submit your order to when the item leaves the warehouse.
