I know lots of people here probably dislike U2 and hate Bono, but whatever everyone else's opinions are of them, I think this album is one of the finest rock albums I think I've ever heard. It's definitely one of the most listened to albums in my collection, partly because it's been there longer then most of my other cds, but also just because I never seem to get sick of. Musically it tops anything U2 has done, lyrically it's some of the most poetic lyrics Bono has ever written, and production wise it's a bit of U-Turn from everything they released before. I'm just posting this because I recently started listening to this again, and it's blowing me away how good all the songs are. Zoo Station with it's industrialesc beat... One with it's beautiful singing and lyrics... The Fly with it's distorted guitars and amazing guitar solo... it's all so good... Anyway, just my thoughts! :) |

yeah, it's their best album in my opinion (although most people who hate U2 would go for "the joshua tree" or "war" as their choice album instead).. great album. only listened to 'so cruel' earlier. "until the end of the world" is my favourite on it. |

The Joshua Tree has some great songs on it. I mean, how can you dis the first three songs there? They're each classic. The last two as well, Exit and Mothers of the Disappeared are two favorites of mine as well. Personally though I find the songs in between aren't as good, and kind of suck in a few places, whereas to me Achtung Baby is good all the way through. |

I like .... all of it really except "Who's gonna run your wild horses" which sticks out like a very sore thumb on it, though, for me. |

It's an excellent album. And it was also the album I listened to the summer I started going to parties and meeting girls, so I got a lot of memories connected to the songs. |

hadn't given this album a thought for a very long time. I might pull it out again and give it a listen. |

It's a great album. They're a great band, but I'm not too keen on their more "American" stuff (Joshua Tree). |

Achtung Baby was my top 10 album once...along with Joshua Tree....but in time i began disliking Bono so i lost the interest in all U2 music. and in fact there are lots of better bands than them. U2 became kind of a pop product meant to expose Bono's ego, it seems. |

It sucks blows chunks.. no offense to any of the fans but U2 buts the insipid..in insipid. |

ah yes, i always skip that one. well, not lately because i don't really listen to it. |
||||||||
|

i remember making fun of Zooropa a lot... i don't think i;ve ever heard Achtung besides the singles... but i always thought Joshua Tree was weird for the first handful of songs being the only ones that were blasted on the radio |

One has great lyrics. And I hate the duet with whatshername..craphh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never liked One and the horrible duet version made me hate it, but apart from that it's a great record, quite possibly their best. Joshua Tree is enjoyable as well, Bullet The Blue Sky is coolie |

It's a fine album. Haven't listened to it in ages. |
||||||||

||||||||
|

Bullet The Blue Sky is the only track from JT i still like. because of the intro drums and the iiiiiiiiiiiuuummm guitar riff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never said i liked "one" i just heard it a bazillion times on the radio/mtv, bullet the blue sky is dope, all of JT is there is a new book out U2 on U2, it has some way old pics, 20+ years old, bono wasnt always wrinkly |
