THE BOMB DROPS TODAY. U2's new album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, is out TODAY. I *just* went across the street to Sam Goody's to pick up my copy for $11.99. (Had to emphatically refuse the subscription to Entertainment Weekly yet again. I've managed to be polite in my refusals on that one so far.)

There is a cool review of the album by Kenneth Tanner over at National Review Online.

I'm listening to the new album as I type this, and so far so good. I'll probably post an Amazon review in the next day or so.
