Album Notes U2: Bono (vocals, guitar); The Edge (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Adam Clayton (bass); Larry Mullen (drums). Additional personnel: Daniel Lanois (guitar); Brian Eno (keyboards). Recorded at Hansa Ton Studios, Berlin, Germany; Dog Town, S.T.S. and Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin, Ireland. In 1991, U2 shocked the pop-music world with ACHTUNG BABY, a striking departure from the Irish band's beloved '80s arena-rock sound. Here the group careens into sonically adventurous territory, reveling in distorted guitars, drum loops, and layers of synthesizers. The stunning opening track, "Zoo Station," kicks in with fierce, fuzzed-out guitar and a clanging industrial beat, Bono's distinctive voice the only tell-tale sign that this is indeed a U2 album. From here, ACHTUNG BABY deftly maneuvers between giddy electro-pop (the shimmering "Even Better Than the Real Thing," the funky "Mysterious Ways"), bold techno-tinged rock (the majestic punch of "Until the End of the World," the seductive squall of "The Fly"), and contemplative ballads (the heartbreakingly beautiful "One," the haunting closer "Love Is Blindness"). Throughout it all, the quartet plays to the peak of its abilities, aided by the atmospheric, top-notch production of Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. This is the record where Bono, for better or worse, fully embraced the role of "rock star," with the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen, Jr. ably accompanying him every swaggering step of the way. One of the group's finest outings, ACHTUNG BABY is indisputably U2's most adventurous album.

Report this review  Achtung Baby - U2 (CD) 1991I received this CD yesterday and cannot stop listening to it. Twenty-some years ago I thought, "Yeah, OK so U2 is a great band, but there are so many other bands out there that I like better." I just really couldn't figure out why the young kids were so smitten with Bono and U2. Since that time, the other bands have disappeared from radar, yet U2 lives on...even bigger than before! I began really listening to them in the early to mid 90's, and my appreciation for them has grown by leaps and bounds. This particular CD is, in my estimation, a musical masterpiece! The hard-driving percussion is prevelant in songs like "Mysterious Ways", and the resounding bass gives the rock aspect of some of these songs a "kick-butt, get up and dance!" flavor. It is hard to stay still while listening to them!! They are so versatile and hang with the best of them, singing their slower, mysterious and melodic ballads. May be the best rock band ever...and I am a 54 year old woman who has been exposed to ALL styles and genres of music imaginable! The fact that Bono has used his celebrity to further philanthropic efforts is an added bonus, and definitly adds to his appeal. You cannot go wrong with CD, as it offers the best that U2 has to offer! You have to hear it to believe it~~ Review ID: 10000000008554342 Was this review helpful?
