Friday Night Videos

When U2's "Vertigo" hit the airwaves, reaching saturation point due to its heavy use in Apple's iPad marketing campaign, I went out immediately and bought the album, provocatively titled How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. That doesn't happen often, that a singly song moves me to invest in an entire disc, sound unheard. But "Vertigo" rocked so hard and the album's name was so cool that untold wonders must await on that beckoning CD. Alas, this impulse buy turned out as so many other musical fliers have for me in the past. "Vertigo" is far and away the standout piece, with the remainder of the tracks being merely okay. Another Joshua Tree it was not. Oh well, at least the video is nifty.
