U2 - How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2004)


U2 is an Irish rock band formed in 1976, which remained intact with the original band members - Bono (real name Paul Hewson) (vocals, guitar, harmonica), The Edge (real name David Evans) (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass) and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums, percussion). Their success is out of discussion with over 150 million records sold and 22 Grammy Awards.

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is the eleventh (out of twelve) studio album of U2. I start my U2 posting with it, just because it is the first one I have listened from beginning to end. 

I won't really make comments at this point, before exploring carefully other U2 albums. It's enough to say that the record is good, it has the peculiar U2 style, and it sounds quite refined. Besides the single Vertigo I like City Of Blinding Lights, All Because Of You and Original Of The Species, but the entire album is listenable and enjoyable.

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is available on Spotify!

Since I love the live performance of U2 I can't help myself for embedding this one:
