This period, marked by personal loss—particularly Bono’s reflections following the death of his father Bob in 2001—and a renewed passion for rock's core sound, gave birth to both emotional introspection and sonic exploration.
The Edge reflects on this era as a time of discovery, with the band crafting music steeped in raw emotion, visceral energy, and instinctive collaboration. Songs that were left on the cutting room floor now resurface with fresh purpose, speaking to the band's evolution while preserving the core essence of what makes U2 timeless.
The ten tracks on How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb feature four new songs never before heard by fans—"Treason," "Evidence of Life," "Country Mile," and "Happiness"—each tapping into the powerful emotions that characterized the original recording sessions. Lyrically, these songs delve into themes of loss, resilience, and existential contemplation, echoing Bono's search for meaning in the wake of personal tragedy.
Also included is "Luckiest Man In The World," formerly known to fans under its working title "Mercy," a song that has circulated as a demo online for nearly two decades. Its official release offers a more polished but still deeply reflective version of this fan-favorite track.
In addition to these newly unveiled songs, the album includes five remastered tracks: "Picture Of You (X+W)," "Don't Wanna See You Smile," "Are We Gonna Wait Forever?," "Theme From The Batman," and "All Because Of You 2."
