Review / U2 How to dismantle an atomic bomb.


This is one album that's playing in my mind these days. I was shifted to Pune DLF location, a few weeks ago, and there's absolutely no source of entertainment. What i did, was cleaned up my memory stick and copied this album hurriedly, as i wanted to try out something which i had never set my ears on. It had to be U2.

Apple's products, particuarly iPod has been a fascinating one; afterall thats the product which turned the tables. U2's "Vertigo" was selected to brand the iconic player, of which the proceeds were used for some charitable purposes (Bono does his bit again.) "Vertigo", indeed instantly sets the tempo, and keeps you swinging.

"Miracle Drug", is a silent rock song, with superb, touching lyrics. Excellent keyboard percussion is noted. "Elevation", helps change the mood of the album, once again, matching the standard of "Vertigo". One song, has been particuarly my favourite in this album, is "City of blinding lights", a song which indeed has beautiful meaning. Its my recommendation, for those of you, who haven't heard it, please do.

Other songs such as "A man and a woman", "Crumbs from your table" amongst others have been excellently crooned by Bono. Its definately one of the best rock albums i've recently heard. In all, U2 keeps it legacy. What a rocking performance guys!
