[edit] Track list
The album is slated to include 11 tracks. A list of known song titles includes:
To me, it sounds like the author was not very certain about that list. Brianjd
[edit] Concept Album?
U gotta be kiddin' me!
[edit] Personel
Are you sure Bono played the piano intro on COBL and not Edge?
- According to the booklet, it's both (how they got two people to play that piano is beyond me, though :) ) --Kristbg 01:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Miracle Drug?
OK, I've listened to Miracle Drug several times now, and I cannot detect any sort of backing vocal on that song at all. Anyone know where it comes in? --D-Day 21:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- I suppose you mean Larry's. Actually, it's on the "ooh-yeah-ooh" part, just before Edge's singing part ("Beneath the noise, below the dim..."). Not exactly backing vocals, but it's Larry indeed. --Kristbg 01:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
- Ok I hear it now. I'll change the wording on the article to make it more accurate. --D-Day 23:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A Christian Album?
I think it's clear that the songs of U2, especially in this album, have got a Christian touch. What about the meaning of these songs? What are the "blinding lights" for example? ever thought of that?
city of blinding lights refers to new york city. after 9/11, u2 played a gig there unlike other bands who cancelled. bono described nyc as being beautiful. "hence the line, oh you look so beautiful tonight".
[edit] Full Metal Jacket?
Early press for this album and U2's MySpace (the content of which hasn't been updated since before Dismantle was released) mentioned a highly anticipated release, "Full Metal Jacket". Was this song retitled and included or left out? What is its history? "Love and Peace or Else" had been kicked around for years, and that title could certainly fit the famous opening riff. If someone has citable information, it would be great to include in the trivia. --Free 07:45, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- "Full Metal Jacket" became "Native Son", which became "Vertigo". Just try to incorporate that information to the existing text, instead of adding a trivia section... thanks! --Kristbg 17:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] City of Blinding Clocks
Any particular reason it isn't named who made it? It's not like it's a secret; it was made by Martinn, and he has a fairly decent presence in the bastard pop world. He's not one of the big names, but he's made a pretty decent quantity of good stuff. On the other hand... I'm not entirely sure this is notable, either - why his mix, and not any number of other U2 mixes that have been released? Another mashup comes immediately to my head from this cd, even - Vertigo Tripper, U2 v. The Beatles v. Fatboy Slim v. a handful of other people, mixed by DJ Reno. There could be a reason, for all I know - I know a fair amount of what goes on in the mixing/mashing world, but certainly don't know everything about wikipedia - I just thought I'd ask, because it seemed sort of odd.

[edit] Merger proposal
Is it not common practice for rereleases of albums (even when they have slightly different tracklistings) to share an article with the original? Only, I just came across How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (Assembly Edition), so I cleaned it up a little, and added a merge tag. U2 seems to be a topic that is covered well, so I will drop a note on the WikiProject talk page, and leave you people to work out the best thing to do yourselves.

- That article is a hoax and has been tagged for speedy deletion. –Dream out loud (talk) 20:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
