...sounds for the devoted, integrates fuzzy new ones for the kids and delivers a staggering number of indelible hooks. The only notable weakness is that the pursuit of those hooks keeps Bomb rooted in the thrill-delivering formula of verse-chorus-verse-pedal-steel solo, depriving it of the mood-altering qualities of Achtung Baby or The Joshua Tree. Listening to Bomb straight through a few times is a bit like staring into a closetful of sequins. But depth is not what this album is after. It's a statement of competitiveness and relevance, and the best example of intelligent...
When I read about Hamer's discovery that brain chemicals responsible for regulating our mood are found in people who have traits of spirituality, a light came on. For 35 years I tried to regulate my wild mood swings with drugs, alcohol and relentless exercise. Not until I recently re-found my faith did my mood swings stop--completely. Now I understand why.

Sounds unpredictably enter and exit the space, and an extremely creepy alien groaning/breathing noise pervades the background of the piece’s midsection. In the last third...
Want some mood lights of your own, to set the right tone at a party or perhaps to lure that special someone? Be careful – at 350 big ones a panel, the lights may end up costing you a pretty penny. And a final thought: when attempting to woo a member of the opposite sex with your swank new lights, refrain from setting them to a fast color pattern. Nothing like a migraine or a seizure to kill the mood...
