U2 - How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

With Bono in summits with global leaders on AIDS and Third World debt, it’s no surprise that U2’s latest should carry such a weighty title. The Irish men have come to be known for the grand gesture. “Vertigo,” the first single from the band’s 11th studio album, is an urgent, guitar-driven rocker about the dizzying state of the world and the need for human connection. Produced mostly by Steve Lillywhite, who worked on U2’s first three recordings, the album promises a return to the raw energy of the group’s early sound.
