How To Re Assemble An Atomic Bomb (Record Store Day Black Friday RSD 2024) vinyl

15 studio albums, 84 singles and nine EPs. U2's legacy is up there with the biggest in rock & roll history. The original LP, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, is number 11 in the band's running order, and when it was released in 2004 it reflected the group doubling down on their transition away from more experimental and alternative rock sounds, into more mainstream aesthetics befitting their long-since earned stadium status. Here we are late-2024 and the Irish outfit bestow How To Reassemble An Atomic Bomb on their legions of loyal fans as a tie-in with both Record Store Day and Black Friday, and to mark the record's 20th anniversary. Not simply a re-release, but rather a revisit to ideas and tones of the time, even if you've got the previous versions this is well worth a punt.
