How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (HTDAAB)

U2 Go Bragh

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (10/10)
First of all, I think it is interesting to see such polarized opinions of this record "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb." For those of you who were expecting U2 to 'rock out' ala "War" era or continue the musical alchemy of "Pop", you forget one thing...don't you think it would be a bit daft or silly to do this with the passing of Bono's father? Would you "rock out" if your father died? Emotions need to be addressed here and they have been in a very creative and poignant way. Let's face it, the reason why U2 are around 25 years later is because they do not continue on one path for too long. U2 is the biggest band in the world because they manifest the human condition in their music and have the guts and savvy to pull it off brilliantly. Besides, "heaviness" is in the emotion, not necessarily how fast or "rocking" a song is. Listen to Zeppelin III and you'll realize that acoustic songs like "Friends" and "Gallows Pole" are "heavy." Similarly, U2's "Mothers of the Disappeared" and "Desire" are also "heavy" despite being acoustic. As far as "How to Dismantle....", my favorite song so far has got to be the gut wrenching and poetic "City of Blinding Lights." There is hope for Rock...long live U2.

Gay black male here. This CD is all that and a bag of chips. Excellent, perfunctory--not their peak best, but still better than their last [ ... read complete review ]
