Why all the "Atomic Bomb" hate? It seems like I'm the only one around here who actually likes it. As an album it's very focused, and I think it's probably the best thing they've done since Achtung Baby. Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can't Make It, All Because of You, City of Blinding Lights, A Man and a Woman, and Crumbs From Your Table are all stellar tunes in my opinion. Bono's voice is the best it's sounded in years, and I love how the Edge just lets loose on this record. His crazy guitar freak-out at the end of Love & Peace or Else is great, and the mix on that song is fantastic. Ya gotta listen to it with headphones for the full effect. It's pretty cool.
