Answer
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb was recorded partly at Hanover Quay studio in Dublin and released in 2004.
The album was U2's eleventh studio release. Its production involved several collaborators, including Steve Lillywhite, Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, Flood, and Carl Glanville. Recording took place over an extended period and included work at Hanover Quay in Dublin, a studio associated with the band's home city and creative base.
The record returned to a more direct rock sound after the electronic and dance-oriented experiments of Pop. It produced the singles “Vertigo,” “Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own,” “City of Blinding Lights,” and “All Because of You.” “Vertigo” became especially prominent through its energetic guitar riff and the band's related television and advertising campaign.
The album title came from Bono's description of the kind of song he wanted to write: something powerful and elemental. A common mix-up is placing the album in 2005 because its major tour began that year; the studio album itself was released in 2004.
