U2 - The band has origins as far back as 1976, when a note was posted in an Irish School by Larry Mullen seeking musicians for a Band.
With Mullen on Drums, Clayton on Bass, Paul Hewson on Vocals and Dave Evans on Lead Guitar U2 started out.
Paul hewson, known more as BONO VOX, BONO For short, and Dave evans as The Edge as they are well known now.
U2 is one of the few bands to be commercially successful over an extended period of time starting from the early eighties when their first album was launched.
What separates U2 is not their music, but their concern for Society as whole.
Bono & the whole band are extremely vocal about a whole range of issues.
Coming back to their album - ’’How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb’ is simply U2 at its best. !!
’’How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb’’ has eleven songs, and all eleven are awesome.
Vertigo, City of Blinding Lights, All because of you, Original of the Species, Yahweh are all awesome singles.
As best illustrated by what ’’The Edge’’ says ’We’ve always been political in an organic way. I thought actually this would be a more political album. I think Bono did, too. I’m amazed at how personal it is. It’s not a manifesto. It’s about what matters. It’s an honest snapshot of where we’re at’ is best what is manifested
by the U2.
During the course of Atomic Bomb, you will be urged to ponder death (’’Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own’’), birth (’’Original of the Species’’), God (’’Yahweh’’), love (’’A Man and a Woman’’), war (’’Love and Peace or Else’’) and peace (’’City of Blinding Lights’’), which barely gives you time to ponder whether the bassist has been listening to Interpol. ’’Vertigo’’ sets the pace, a thirty-second ad jingle blown up to three great minutes, with a riff nicked from Sonic Youth’s ’’Dirty Boots.’’ ’’City of Blinding Lights’’ begins with a long Edge guitar intro, building into a bittersweet lament. ’’Yahweh’’ continues a U2 tradition, the album-closing chitchat with the Lord. It’s too long and too slow, but that’s part of the tradition.
