Music reviews of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Collector's Edition)
Music Review: One of their BEST studio releases in a long-while.
Rating: 5 Stars
Anyone who rates this lower than three stars has bumped their head! I agree that the packaging could have been better but the music is top-notch on this album. Calling U2 'sell-outs' for this record is utterly WRONG! The opening note to 'ALL BECAUSE OF YOU' catches my attention right away and gets my adrenaline pumping. The track 'A MAN AND A WOMAN' is beautiful and 'SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN' is inspirational.
Ulitmately, I can hear the best of early U2 mixed with the experience and passion of later U2 mixed together very nicely on this album. I have both this version and the regular version of this album with no qualms about owning either.
Description of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (Collector's Edition)
COLLECTOR'S EDITION (LIMITED): In addition the the full CD, the COLLECTOR'S EDITION includes a DVD with Making of the Album footage, B Roll in studio, and Acoustic performances of 4 songs. In addition to the CD & DVD, the COLLECTOR'S EDITION features a full color hardback book. The book includes extracts from band members note books, original paintings, illustrations and photography along with quotes and statistics.The album that carries U2 into its 25th year--and likely the mixed blessings of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame--is one of its most frank and focused since the days of October and War. But its gestation was anything but simple, in part salvaged from '03 sessions the band deemed subpar. Enter Steve Lillywhite, the band's original producer and sometime collaborator in the decades since, who helped retool the track "Native Son" (originally an anti-gun screed) into the aggressive i-Pod anthem "Vertigo" and leaves his distinctive stamp on the muscular "All Because of You" and others. Perhaps weary of ceaseless, fashion-driven reinvention in the wake of monumental success, U2 seem only too happy here to re-embrace their original sonic trademarks in service of more daring, pop-melodic hooks than they've collected in one place in decades. The Eno/Lanois produced "Love and Peace or Else" may shimmer with the duo's electro-production conceits, but it's Edge's lugubrious, post-modern John Lee Hooker guitar swagger that drives it. Elsewhere, Bono's trademark dramaturgy is spotlighted on "City of Blinding Lights," the unabashed romance of "A Man and a Woman" and the confessional "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own." It may come wrapped in a conundrum--is it nostalgic retrenchment or sum of the band's endless musical catharsis?--but it's also the album where, Fly and MacPhisto be damned, U2 boldly claims its arena titan mantle with apologies to no one. --Jerry McCulley
