Possible album title: The Atomic Diffusion

[Michael Griffiths]

With the news that the new album may be called How to Diffuse an Atomic Bomb, it got me thinking. Some Interference critics have argued that this particular title suffers from the "self help" syndrom of sounding like it has all the answers, which lends itself to sounding preachy (something that U2 normally stays away from). This problem could be solved with a title such as the following:

The Atomic Diffusion

Now the emphasis is placed on the album, itself, rather than on how to go about doing something...and could even be a reference to the power of the music (it must be quite powerful to match and destroy an atomic bomb!). It also has the word, "The", which two of the best 80s U2 albums have...and could be a hint that this indeed is their third masterpiece.

Other possibilities:

Diffusion

Atomic Diffusion

An Atomic Diffusion

Diffusing the Bomb

Atomic Deconstruction (this one I reallly like)

The Atomic Deconstruction

An Atomic Deconstruction


And for a little fun (based on some past U2 titles):

Under an Atomically Defused Sky

The Forgotten Fire

UN-POPPED

Conventional War (Only)

Achtung Baby Bomb!

Zootonium

All the Bombs We Can Leave Behind

 

[EvolutionMonkey]

Or how about 'The Atomic Samosa' ?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

MOAB... Mother Of All Bands

 

[Numb1075]

Good one, Headache

 

[elciojg]

What about "Look Edge, is a Beach Bomb!"

 

[martha]

Or, at the rate it took to make this record, what about Diffused Democracy?

 

[bono_man2002]

anything is better than "Vertigo"

 

[Numbology]

..or: New York,London,Paris,Munich,everybody talkabout new U2 rocking muzik

 

[The Sage]

or New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody talk about bombing Iraq...

 

[Michael Griffiths]

Or how about 'The Atomic Samosa' ?

Exactly! Forget about India and Pakistan having the bomb....the Atomic Samosa is far more dangerous...definitely a force to be reckoned with!!

 

[Michael Griffiths]

double post

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

How 'bout "Atomic Confusion". That's what we're dealing with right now!!!!

 

[silenus]

The Atomic Diffusion

Like that one...kinda has that AB vibe

GO ALBUM GO !!!

 

[U2girl]

Atomic band

 

[purpleoscar]

"Atomic band "



As long as the band doesn't go atomic after this album and leave us fans forever.

 

[ponkine]

I agree every title posted here is better than the horrible "VERTIGO"

Here goes my possible ones:

1- "Fade Away"
2- "Like A Song I Have To Sing"
3- "How Long To Sing This Song"

and the best for me...

4- "Wipe Your Tears Away"

WHAT A TITLE THIS ONE !!!!!!

 

[Numbology]

yeah, or "TAKE MY DEMO CD AWAY"



TMDCA

 

[Rastat]

What about "All That You Can't Leave In Your CD Player" ?

 

[thejoshuafrog]

Is your use of 'diffuse' as opposed to 'defuse' deliberate? 'Cause the two have rather different meanings...

 

[Michael Griffiths]

It actually wasn't intentional, but I think it should have been. "Atomic Diffusion" would go nicely with the concept of "virtigo", since "diffusion" in this sense implies a spreading apart (or deconcentration) of elements, which could cause a feeling of uncertainty. "Diffusion" can also work in a social sense, since it can mean the spread of cultural elements through contact (or, say, musical contact) as well. Thus, we have a very witty album title that uses a double meaning. Nicely done!

 

[Tomer]

i have no idea for possible names

i'm tired.....

I've had enough of all this atomic bomb-diffusing business. It's not a good title and I hope they don't use it. Viva Vertigo!
