philly.com: If Bono showed up on my doorstep in his cowboy hat and yellow-tinted shades, and wouldn't stop dropping the names of famous people he'd been working with to save the world unless I divulged my favorite U2 album, I'd have to say Achtung Baby. [

profil.at: Die irische Band U2 veröffentlicht nach vier Jahren Pause ihr neues Album „How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb“: ein weiterer verzweifelter Versuch, mit der belastenden eigenen Vergangenheit fertig zu werden.
Wir werden dem Monster den Rücken brechen“, singt Bono Vox in „Love and Peace or Else“. Es ist die beste Nummer auf „How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb“, dem neuen U2-Album, das kommende Woche erscheint. Natürlich spricht Bono von Liebe und Frieden oder sonst was, aber es ist nicht ganz falsch, wenn man die Zeilen auf die Situation der irischen Band bezieht. Wir werden dem Monster den Rücken brechen, das könnte auch heißen: Als Stadionrocker wollen wir nicht alt werden. [ more]

sundayherald.com: U2 have been recording artists for longer than Elvis. They’ve sold 125 million records and their influence extends beyond pop to politics. Earlier this year their latest album was nicked. But, says Adrian Deevoy, all’s well that ends well for the world’s biggest band celebrating 25 years of holy rock’n’roll [ more]

msnbc.msn.com: Ignore the iPod commercial—U2 has not morphed into a hipster rave outfit for dreadlock-flipping twentysomethings. For one thing, they already tried that with 1993's "Lemon" (and it was). And anyhow, why change course when you're the biggest band in the world? [ more]

timesonline.co.uk: In the small hours of last Tuesday morning, Paul McGuinness stood at the end of the long counter at the Village bar in Wexford Street, Dublin, glass in one hand, wide grin on his face. Not even news that bootleg copies of the new U2 album were appearing on the internet could dampen the spirits of their manager.

diepresse.com: Im Naturhistorischen Museum, vor den Dinosauriern? In einem irischen Pub anständigen Leumunds? Bei der Sissi-Kapelle am Cobenzl? An welchem - erst knapp vor dem Ereignis bekannt gegebenen - Ort wird denn das neue U2-Album "einer kleinen, ausgewählten Klientel" vorgestellt werden? Was für eine Spannung!

contactmusic.com: U2 star THE EDGE feared his group would split before finishing work on their new album HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, because BONO could never find the time to join his bandmates in the studio.
The frontman was always jetting off to meet with politicians and world leaders as he urged governments to take world debts more seriously, and his guitarist worried that he might never return to rock. [ more]

thefinalword.co.uk: If you told me, when I first start listening to U2 in the early 80s, that some twenty years later, I'd be watching them play the BBC carpark in London, I'd have told you not to be so silly.
Of course, I wouldn't have believed you if you told me that. I would've probably said "My dad's bigger then your Dad". Though with U2, my band is bigger than your band. U2 are the biggest band in the world today. (Sure, maybe The Beatles, and Pink Floyd, and The Stones were bigger, but what have they done for you lately?).
