U2

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (HTDAAB)

NO REASON TO GET EXCITED.

Review Score:

(2/10)
Do you remember when Bono had credibility ?. Do you remember when Bono told us nothing but the truth ?. Yes, that was the OLD U2. The old U2 is not this one comming back, no way !!.
It's time to point out this sold old iPod band has nothing from their 80's glory here. I mean, NOTHING. Bono ? he can't sing anymore. Do you remember the line ? "Scream without rising your voice". Moreover he's afraid to talk about about the real world, he knows that would be a huge risk for the album sales.

"AMERICA IS JUST FULL OF POSSIBILITIES" he said a while ago. Yes, that's just propaganda for his loved USA and his friend George W. Bush. I feel bad for him, I hate to see a sold out singer in that shameful way. Do you remember Bullet The Blue Sky now ?.
Indeed in their best times they didn't have problems in recognizing the bad foreign policy of the USA, and that didn't affect the sales at all. Now they wait desperate for another September 11th, since that was what increased considerably the sales of All That You Can't Leave Behind, after all the tributes on each U2 concert ever since, the super bowl, etc.

All their well-known producers must go, and U2's mainstream hype as well. I respected the effort to reinvent themselves. They've been doing wrong since they scrapped their own masterpiece "Pop".
Then...the well-known bothering history. An overrated band getting more and more Grammy and cash just because of their name alone.

How To make fool of fans ( it should be the album name ) achieves pretty much nothing ( for sure they'll get grammy and millions of dollars for this washed up piece of trash ). So I dislike it strongly, got rid of the album, occasionally shed a tear over the precipitous decline of a great band, and get on with my life. I hope these fashioned men don't put out anything else, because they're only making fools of themselves, but that doesn't detract from all the very good music they've given us over the years.

This album is nothing but "talk without speaking".

"All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave"...
