My last "Atomic Bomb" post (for tonight anyway) comes via a fellow Canuck Darryl Sterdan via Winnipeg Sun:
...But even these cuts don't have quite the same spark, the same punch, the same sense of wide-eyed exhilaration and rejuvenation as, say, Elevation, Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Beautiful Day and Walk On. The fact that a few of the titles are so similar-sounding doesn't help dispel that feeling of musical deja vu.
Don't misunderstand. It's not that How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb isn't a good album. It is. At times, it's very good. But it's simply not a great U2 album. No matter what kind of a fan you are.
Yup!
