U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (+DVD/Book) (CD 2004)

I must admit that I'm the kind of person who tends to buy a CD, almost on impulse, often having only heard one of the songs from the album, and sometimes not even fully sure if I like it. Well, U2's "how to dismantle an atomic bomb" is possibly the best example of this currently in my CD collection.

I purchased this album a while ago, based on my liking on the immensely popular hit single "Vertigo," only to find that a while after, I was utterly sick of its tendency to be over played on the radio, to the point where I no longer found any enjoyment in listening to it. Luckily for me, the rest of the album was to be nothing like the first single, and every track, much slower, and more enjoyable to listen to. So, despite the manner in which this album was originally purchased, it remains one of the favourite albums in my collection, with the second single "Sometimes you can't make it on your own," with a firm place in my pile of all time favourites, with many other tracks on the album, also coming very close.
