U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb I just heard the entire album and it sounds amazing. I love it.
But I'm not sure, is this released officially yet or is it not in stores right now? 
I thought it would be released late in november? and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

it sounds very loose and upbeat.
very spontanious but still with a lot of attention to detail ( if that makes any sense  )
some of the songs are really hard rockers. there are a lot of elements from the old U2 here. Unforgettable Fire stuff and such. It sounds amazing as an album imo. It's a perfect mix to me of the old U2 and the 1990-2000 U2. The guitars and the bass sounds just absolutely fucking good. If you like U2 you'll love this album.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

I hate old U2, but I loved the 1990-1997 version. I'll buy it. If I hate it I'll blame you, Ike. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying.

I am no U2 fan.
This is a very good album. It's no masterpiece, but i don't think they were aiming for that. In short:  "It's better 2 B hated 4 what U R than 2 B loved 4 what U R not."

I haven't liked them for awhile, but I have to admit I really like that "Vertigo" songs. Does sound like old U2...almost like their first couple of albums but without the heavy religious stuff. | |

I'm trying to hold off until it's in stores. I've been way into them lately so it's tough. There's always the tempation to just download the whole thing. But I won't. I have a really good feeling about this one. It seems like something fresh but with a nice helping of Achtung Baby and Boy thrown in for good measure. A lot of musician friends that have heard it say it's their best yet. | |

It's OK, other than Vertigo, there's not very many standout tracks. | |

Did you skip Love And Peace Or Else? I just listened to the album once, but that one song does more for me than the entire previous album. There is also a difference between the bootlegs album (which I have) and the regular album, as some tracks were not ready yet. Please take that into acount. | |

And A Man And A Woman is going to be SO great if they decide to put it out as a single. Superb!
Sticks to the mind so simply... divine. [Edited 11/10/04 23:57pm] | |
