How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Deluxe Edition) by U2

Pros: Every song could be a single. Every song grabs you. It all just works.

Cons: Those who enjoy U2's experimental tangents might be a bit let down

The Bottom Line: Only U2 could have recorded this album. That, in a nutshell, is why I love them.

Review: Take Two * * * I've been trying to write this review for way too long. I even had one posted for the album last week, but upon rereading it, I declared it the worst album review I'd ever written and promptly took it down. Here's the ...

Pros: All the songs a good listening

Cons: It takes a few times of listening to get under your skin.

The Bottom Line: If you are a fan, you must have this one, it is a new side of the band, but has a lot of old touches as well.

Review: First let me open by saying that I am delving into unknown and uncomfortable territory. Writing a review in music is not my strong point. Or maybe just writing any review for that matter! :o) I bought this latest CD from the band as a ...

Pros: U2 has finally come home

Cons: I'm going to temporarily forget this category exists

The Bottom Line: I've been blessed - I've never given a CD less than five stars. I pick good music!

Review: Listen. Just listen. Just for one go-round, listen. I promise it won’t take long - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb clocks in just under 50 minutes. I request this of you because you’re probably thinking the same thing I was: U2 had run their ...

Pros: Pretty much everything, and I don't say that lightly.

Cons: The time it takes to get into will have some walk away from a classic

The Bottom Line: This is a truly stunning album, one that grows with each listen into a fully formed masterpiece... they were right when they said it was their best work...

Review: I gave a review of this a few weeks ago on Amazon in a haze of excitement about how this album was (at least) as good as Achtung Baby (U2's masterpiece in my opinion). After having swayed back and forth in my opinions, the album has finally sunk in. So ...

Pros: The songs are uplifting and beautiful, interesting info & performances on the DVD.

Cons: Lyrics seem preachy at times, cheesy at others, and the 'Vertigo' video is dull.

The Bottom Line: I recommend downloading a couple of the tracks from the Internet (legally,) just to give you a taste of what the album is like. Then buy it.

Review: I can say with quite alot of confidence that this is an album you'll either love or hate. There's no in between with this album. If you're a die-hard U2 fan, chances are you won't be disappointed with 'How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'. The reason I say ...

Pros: However I'm feeling, listening to U2 always does the magic for me.

Cons: Some of their earlier Cd's, I would only buy for a couple songs.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend buying this CD. Everyone who appreciates true legends, should have a copy of this album in their homes. You'll listen to it over and over again.

Review: As I was watching one of U2's newest concerts on video, Bono started to give a little speech on one of their newest songs called "Miracle Drug." And this little speech made me admire this group even more then I always have. He started listing some of the ...

Pros: nice guitar and lyrics, sticky tunes

Cons: no innovations for this one

The Bottom Line: Excellent album, you wont regret it. BUY IT!

Review: Well, I got a copy of the album the first week it came out, and I since Im kinda of slow with u2 songs, I started liking it like a month later. Same thing happened with "all you can leave behind". The album is nicely done and as the band's classical ...

Pros: powerful and beautiful songs

Cons: politics and whining mixed in throughout

The Bottom Line: Powerful, emotional CD from the world's greatest rock band.

Review: In the grand scheme of U2 fans, I am a relative newbie only really noticing the band with their Achtung Baby album back in high school. It's not my fault that I was too young to appreciate their early albums at the time. Anyway, this is my 1st ...

Pros: Vertigo, Miracle Drug, City of Blinding Lights, All Because of You, Yahweh

Cons: One Step Closer, Original of the Species

The Bottom Line: Buy it. It's quite good, and you'll find it meets or exceeds your expectations.

Review: Okay, so some may argue that the new U2 is "uninspired, rehashed garbage", but any true U2 fan knows that isn't how it is. Although not anywhere near as experimental as Zooropa or Pop, and not as bland as All That You Can't Leave Behind, this album finds ...

Pros: Bono sounding like Bono...

Cons: Lack of experimentation, maybe

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this disc for everybody. Casual fans and us die-hards. Get it and enjoy.

Review: A funny thing happens with almost all U2 albums that I listen to. Only a few songs jump at me, slap me in the face and say "listen to this". Usually I listen to the album waiting for something to happen, and after a few spins it seems as if the songs, ...
