// Vertigo released, album leaked!
Vertigo, the first single from the album 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb', went on sale this weekend.
However, that was not what most fans were excited about since this
weekend the entire album was leaked on the internet, two full weeks
before the album was supposed to be released.
It is not yet not known how, or if, U2 will react to this leak, the
album is scheduled to be released on November 28th. There is a
possibility that they might bring the offical release date forward, or
that the album can be downloaded legally from Apple's Itunes Music
Store in a short while.
