How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

[scottyboy_1986]

i dont like the album very much...quite dissapointed in fact

so i just went back to Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree....the U2 i love.

by the way Bono

the Sydney video is awesome

especially when he does the prank call on a taxi firm...he says his name is Mr Maniphesto and starts singing 'show me the way to go home....'

its very good

The moment I started hating this album is the first time I saw Bono and U2

doing that commercial for ipod(or some shit like that) with vertigo playing

in the background. I've seen that commercial like million times this past

month and it makes me hate U2 with a passion...it's like up to what point

can you keep shoving something down people's throats. I thought some of

those crappy little teen bands were commercial, but U2 beats them all. U2

have become such a commercial band aimed for the masses it's ridiculous..so

far away of what they once were in my opinion.

By the way, the album is weak, overhyped and overrated. I taught I would

give it a listen after I heard Vertigo...big mistake. This album is so slow,

and without pace it's like watching paint dry. The rest of the the album is

definitely not like vertigo. Because all the songs lack pace it makes them

all sound the same. This album is very boring, no punch like someone said.

If you're very depressed and on the verge of doing something to yourself DO

NOT LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM, I repeat DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM, because it will

push you over the fence. If this album doesn't want to make you slit your wrists

nothing will. There is no way anybody can be happy and listen to the album

at the same time.

O.k. just for the record this is the last thhread I'll start regarding U2's new album. Doesn't mean I won't post about U2 anymore, it just means I'm done starting threads dedicated to the new album. Now here's what I thik of it:

I can't really describe it. It's not the "Rock" album we were lead to believe but it does rock emotionally. This album is 100% heart and Soul. You can hear it in the playing and definately hear it in Bono's voice more now than ever. After 3 listens my favorite song is definately Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own Listening to it today it was the first song ever that brought tears to my eyes.Knowing what the song is about I started thinking of not necessarily Bono singing it at his Dad's funeral, but basically anyone singing a song like this at their parents funeral. Somthing you wrote for them and dedicate to them. I can't imagine how anyone would get through it. It's a pretty powerful song as is the album. Which by the way is dedicated to bono's dad. That's all I'll say. I love the album so far and first reaction is that it's the best U2 album since Achtung Baby. It's up there with Achtung and Joshua Tree in my opinion.

Oh and if anyone does want to say what they think about the album we should keep it all in one thread. I'll nominate this thread.

thats a little too big for a post isnt it? and to make that long "post" into a nutshell, i think that U2 has done good and got recognition from thet iPod commercial

A great return to form from U2. I like it!
