They've done it again.

U2 and their new album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is brilliant. I can't say that it's their best album or anything close to it, but that doesn't mean it isn't any good. I still like the old school U2 like Joshua Tree better; however, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is quality music. They have some intelligent words that not too many bands have. Collective Soul is intelligent music as well. Moreover, this newest album is the most spiritual and religious of U2's collection.


U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb Posted by Hello

Yahweh

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break

Only U2 can write such music and still get away with it in the secular music department. Good on you, U2!

Highlight of the bonus DVD? The Edge playing "Vertigo" on a banjo.
