How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (U2)

I'm only a few years late on picking up U2's 2004 blockbuster album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Better late than never, anyway. The album is quite consistent and makes for a very enjoyable listen. If forced to pick a single standout track, I'd say "City of Blinding Lights." Nothing else I can really say here that hasn't been said in one of the many (many, many, many) reviews of this album, so I'll leave it at - good album. Recommended.

Tracks:
1. Vertigo
2. Miracle Drug
3. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
4. Love and Peace or Else
5. City of Blinding Lights
6. All Because of You
7. A Man and a Woman
8. Crumbs From Your Table
9. One Step Closer
10. Original of the Species
11. Yahweh

7 (U2)

U2's 7 is an EP that was released at Target. It contains seven some non-album tracks released on various singles during the All That You Can't Leave Behind era. It's a nice collection of b-sides and remixes that U2 fans will likely appreciate. Not essential for casual listeners.

1. Summer Rain
2. Always
3. Big Girls Are Best
4. Beautiful Day (Quincy & Sonance remix)
5. Elevation (Influx remix)
6. Walk On (single version)
7. Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of (acoustic)

"One" single (Mary J. Blige)

"One" is one of U2's great songs. I was a bit hesitant when I saw Mary J. Blige had chosen to take it on, and quite intrigued that it was a collaboration with U2. Curious, I took a listen and was surprised by just how good it turned out. True, it's not quite on the level of U2's original; still, it's a good version worth hearing. Therefore, I was willing to pick up the single for it. It's backed with a live performance of "Can't Hide From Luv," the studio version of which is on The Breakthrough. I hadn't heard the song before, but it's pretty cool.

Tracks:
1. One (radio edit) (with U2)
2. Can't Hide From Luv (live)
