U2 - Vertigo
Posted on September 24th, 2004, in the morning
I just heard the new U2 single 'Vertigo' on xfm. It probably isn't quite 'Beautiful Day' that preceeded the last album (Amazon.co.uk), but then I don't think it would be too much of an exaggeration to say that 'Beautiful Day' changed my life.
'Vertigo' is a strong rock single - a great guitar sound - and definitely bodes well for the forthcoming album 'How to dismantle an atomic bomb' (preorder at Amazon.co.uk). Several of the song titles on the new album are rich in Christian imagery ('Crumbs from your table', 'City of blinding lights', ' Yahweh'), so it should be an interesting record from that point of view too.
