On November 22, U2 celebrates the 20th anniversary of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb with a collection called How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb.
The anniversary edition includes the remastered album and previously unreleased tracks. Two non-album tracks, “Country Mile” and “Picture of You (X+W),” are available now on streaming platforms.
In a statement, The Edge explained the album’s inspiration: “The sessions for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb were such a creative period for the band, we were exploring so many song ideas in the studio. We were inspired to revisit our early music influences, and it was a time of deep personal introspection for Bono who was attempting to process—dismantle—the death of his father.”
Reflecting on the sessions, The Edge added, “We were onto something.” Check out four key tracks from U2’s 11th studio album.
