The other side of "Achtung Baby," which serves as its little brother. It doesn't have the stroke of genius, the revelation, and the immediacy of its predecessor, but to me, it's still a great album. Darker and more electronic, less accessible, but it boasts at least 4-5 really beautiful tracks: the title track, “Numb,” “Lemon,” “The Wanderer” (a stunning rendition by Johnny Cash), “The First Time,” but especially “Stay,” which for me is one of Bono and co.'s absolute best pieces, the soundtrack to “So Far, So Close” by Wim Wenders.
