Achtung Baby - 1991
Billboard Review 11/30/91 - Instead of being content to rest on it's laurels as one of the world's top selling bands, U2 has fashioned a new sound that combines all the hypnotic elements and the driving guitars the Irish quartet is know for with industrial and other techno elements.Outside of "The Fly," which has a cold, sterile feel, the result is an experiment that, by and large, works. Gone are anthems, such as "Pride (In The Name Of Love)." Present are dark, questioning, often haunting numbers, such as "One" and "So Cruel." There have never been easy answers in U2's world, and yet they continue to have the courage to pose important questions in innovative musical ways.
