THE REVIEW

Hello! Here is my second review. One of the most beautiful albums ever.

After the triumphs of "The Joshua Tree" and "Rattle and Hum", a new masterpiece.

A much more important album, with electronic sounds that join the classic rock sounds in songs like "Mysterious Ways". But U2 remains the most important rock band in the world, and they prove it in "One", the most beautiful ballad of all time.

The cover is also splendid, a symbol of a difficult and complex world dominated by mass media, where only the splendid music of Bono and The Edge offers a way to resist.

U2

U2 are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1976 by Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. Rising from post‑punk roots to global fame, they fused atmospheric guitar textures with anthemic songwriting and ambitious tours such as Zoo TV and U2 360°.

 Perhaps it remains the last U2 album to have a soul: not too caught up in market rules, the grandeur of tours, and the lack of ideas that is noticeable lately in some of their latest works.

 Recorded between Berlin and Dublin, precisely to capture the emotions that a people were experiencing after the fall of a cursed wall.

 Like an electric shock. The U2 of "The Joshua Tree" are abruptly awakened by the infernal sound of a fly in the head.

 U2 change their skin. They shake off the heavy role of rock prophets to project themselves into a colder and more disillusioned dimension.


By iuppiter2

 Like a powerful wave, maturity overwhelms the Dublin band, creating an incredible work with an impeccable sequence of twelve tracks.

 The twelve tracks are images, meanings, twelve stars all shining with their own light.

 Bono Vox, the leader of the Dublin band, states at a concert held in their homeland, 'We won’t see each other for a while, we need to go and dream it all up again.'

 The album requires several listens before it is fully assimilated and subsequently declared as an absolute masterpiece.


By vicio

 Achtung Baby is understood as a crucial milestone in U2’s career.

 After Achtung Baby, U2 have never been the same.
