nme.com: U2 have unveiled the tracklisting for their hugely anticipated new album ‘HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB'.
The band’s tenth studio album is the follow-up to 2000’s ‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, the early promo copies of the album are surrounded by tight security due to a security lapse in the summer. A CD containing the record was lost or stolen from a photo session in France. [ more]

pitchforkmedia.com: One, two, three, fourteen -- and they're off! U2 have returned from the calculated "comeback" of 2000's All That You Can't Leave Behind with "Vertigo," a surprisingly uncalculated single that may not constitute a return to form, exactly, but recaptures much of the boundless energy that has characterized their best work -- minus Bono's heavy affectation and the band's traditionally stadium-oriented sound.
The song sounds delightfully tossed off, from its silly Spanish count-off to the effervescent post-punk of its verses, replete with affably shallow lyrical imagery ("Those bullets rip the sky of ink with gold/ They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll"). [ more]

msn.com: The Who once sang, “I hope I die before I get old,” and for most of us, the feeling is mutual. We’d rather our favorite groups give up the ghost than age ungracefully. U2 refuses to do either.
“[The album is] driven by a guitar player who is sick of the sight of me shaking hands with dodgy politicians,” Bono recently told a British paper. “The anger is unbelievable.” Believe it: His better-with-age vocals snap and crackle on the anthemic first single “Vertigo,” and the band sounds leaner—and louder—than ever.

usatoday.com: Without a note yet heard by the public, upcoming albums by U2, Eminem and Destiny's Child are expected to top the chart, reap fat holiday sales and drive traffic into stores.
"There isn't really any doubt about those three," says Alan Light, editor of music magazine Tracks. "At this point, I'm loath to say anyone is guaranteed a million-selling first week, given the way the world is, but Eminem is as much a lock for that as exists anywhere. And the others are big records that have been long anticipated and well set up. These are people who are not following fluke hits. They consistently deliver the goods." [ more]
