Achtung Baby by U2: "Achtung Baby": All This Great Music Plus The Bassist's Wang On The Cover

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 15:34:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author speeddemon531 - You've gotta give the guys from U2 credit for knowing that they needed a change. After a reasonably slow career buildup, the Irish band's proverbial cup ran over with the release of 1987's The Joshua Tree. While they'd always been critical...

Achtung Baby by U2: Achtung, reader: This baby’s not necessarily all it’s cracked up to be

Sun, 25 Jun 2006 23:18:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author blackstar40 - I stirred up a little controversy with my last U2 review, so I bounced back and started listening to Achtung, Baby. It’s been six months since that time, and now seems like the perfect time to constructively consider the ridiculous hype...

Achtung Baby by U2: One Life, You Got To Do What You Should

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 21:23:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author consumingfiyah - U2. Achtung Baby. Where does one start? With the gorgeous lyrics or the sudden shock from the destruction of anything U2 was in the 80's? U2 has never been a band content to stay in the past, but they always look to the future. As Bono says...

Achtung Baby by U2: Achtung! This is easily U2's most over-produced album, ever.

Mon, 26 Sep 2005 16:03:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author noddy1 - Welcome to Part V of my travel through the back catalog of the greatest band of all time, U2. I've reviewed a masterpiece so far, along with many underrated CDs that could've done much better. How does U2's Achtung Baby fare? Well,...

Achtung Baby by U2: Achtung Baby--A Rock 'N Roll Classic

Mon, 4 Apr 2005 18:41:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mrclc - If you have read my other reviews, you will know that I break down the album track by track and then proceed to give it a grade on a scale from one to ten (i.e. 7/10) based on how good it is. One is crap, five is average, and ten is phenomenal! ZOO...

Achtung Baby by U2: Without a doubt, their best.

Sun, 20 Feb 2005 14:28:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author akasharkbow - Taking a spin of this CD again, made me realize just how amazing this band really is. For me, the best part of the whole album is the opening of the first tune, “Zoo Station.” The music starts with lots of distorted base. Reading about it, they...

Achtung Baby by U2: Arguably, U2's best album.

Sun, 14 Dec 2003 22:43:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jmusic21 - It's a fact. U2 has stayed relevant and appreciated in music for more than two decades now, staying alive with the likes of Aerosmith and Metallica. Fans and critics may possibly argue without ever coming to a conclusion as to which single album has...

Achtung Baby by U2: Are you too waiting for a train that never comes? Welcome to Zoo Station.

Thu, 16 Oct 2003 09:25:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author foxy_shy - Instead of a Prologue It feels like eternity since I published my first review at Epinions.com. But in fact, it’s only been a year. Well, almost a year since I wrote my first, lame, full of mistakes and misspellings review... way long ago de...

Achtung Baby by U2: Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?

Tue, 5 Aug 2003 05:04:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author divad23 - Betcha thought I had abandoned my U2 project, didn't ya? OK, I'll admit, reviewing the entire U2 back catalogue does get a little more formidable with each album. Part of reason for that is because the Irish foursome seemed to make more...

Achtung Baby by U2: Lift My Days, Light Up My Nights

Fri, 20 Jun 2003 17:28:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BaronSamedi3 - Recently, U2’s The Joshua Tree was voted by a panel of critics as the greatest record of all time. T...

Achtung Baby by U2: Ready for what's next?

Sat, 22 Mar 2003 13:08:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hawkbee - Achtung Baby was not easy for U2. They set out to change the sound, modify the message, reinvent their image without revealing too much, and almost broke up in the process. And the resulting album has blood all over it. It's not the sound of a...

Achtung Baby by U2: Achtung Baby (Luck of the Irish W/O)

Sun, 16 Mar 2003 20:32:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Bounty628 - How could there be a Luck of the Irish Write Off without the incorporation of one of Ireland's finest exports, U2. U2 has been rocking the international scene with their rock and roll flavor for years and it is imperative that on Saint Patty's Day you...

Achtung Baby by U2: It is a tale told by Bono, filled with sound and fury....

Sun, 15 Sep 2002 04:34:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Stairway2Drew - Fumbling over one's words is not pleasant. For one of the first times I can recall, this assignment has rendered me speechless. For the better? The worse? Don't know, but it's certainly a huge stumbling block in the creative process of music journo. That...

Achtung Baby by U2: PERFECTION, BABY!: U2 Outdo Even Themselves (IGTMIM W/O)

Thu, 30 May 2002 19:16:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MattA75 - I've begun reviews of U2's Achtung Baby so many times, only to delete them all. I had no real clue on how to pay tribute to one of the greatest and most important rock albums in history. But that's all gonna change now, as this is the...

Achtung Baby by U2: Achtung, Baby: Proof Positive That U2 Rocks

Thu, 28 Mar 2002 17:04:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - I never got into anything from U2 until the release of Achtung, Baby. The first U2 album I ever had any exposure to was my cousin’s cassette of The Joshua Tree, but at that time I was too involved in hair metal to care one...

Achtung Baby by U2: everytime you listen to it, there's something new

Wed, 7 Nov 2001 19:06:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author duke101 - Rather than just conventionally review my favorite album of all time, I have instead decided to rank the songs with an explanation of why the rankings are chosen, and therefore give you a more personal review of this masterpiece. After all, I can't...

Achtung Baby by U2: It's the Real Thing

Wed, 17 Oct 2001 02:55:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jlr29 - A few years ago I was visiting relatives in Salt Lake when I heard the obscure Faith No More song "We Care a Lot" (still better than most of today's rap-rock experiments) on a hard rock radio station, with the tongue-in-cheek line "We're here to save the...

Achtung Baby by U2: U2 Enter The 90s In Style

Wed, 17 Oct 2001 01:11:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jeff_wilder78 - I admit. I myself was something of a latecomer to U2. Achtung Baby was the album that got me into them. I first had a cassette copy of it when it was released in 1991. Then later on when I upgraded to CD I bought Joshua Tree and later Achtung Baby.

Achtung Baby by U2: Ultra violet light

Thu, 30 Aug 2001 13:48:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Guildenstern - Reviewing “The Joshua Tree” was not easy. I doubt that “Achtung Baby” will be any easier. It’s just that when you are faced with one of the most praised albums of the last 20 years, you can’t help but feel a little daunted. What can I possibly add to...

Achtung Baby by U2: One of my Three "Favorite" U2 Albums

Fri, 11 May 2001 11:18:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JediKermit - If you've read my entire body of 200+ reviews, then (well, first of all, I pity you) you know almost everything there is to know about my life. My self-imposed chaining to the water heater for ten years was a big part of it, as was my rejection of all...

Achtung Baby by U2: A Sonic Screwtape

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 14:53:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Tallgent - When I was a kid, my mom drilled into me the evils of heavy metal music and as a consequence I equated long hair with heavy metal. Because of this rather narrow restriction, I didn’t see Cats until I was a junior in high school and I didn’t get into U2...

Achtung Baby by U2: U2 In The Nineties: Part One

Thu, 22 Feb 2001 18:33:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jasonmv1701 - The 1990's would not be a good decade for U2. They would shed their angry, underground image in favor of a more commercial, pop-art stage act that would become overpriced and overhyped. But the first album of the '90s held on to the desire to make...

Achtung Baby by U2: U2's Achtung Baby is a religious and political album? Yes!

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 18:20:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author herjazz - In the history of U2, Bono's lyrics has gotten a lot more vague and ambiguous in meaning which allows the listener to create many different interpretations of their songs. For example, back in their Boy or War days, their political songs were very...

Achtung Baby by U2: They probably should have quit with this one

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 03:24:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - Well, here's a bit of blasphemy for long-time U2 fans -- this is probably my favorite album put out by the band, and they probably should have retired after it was released. Perhaps I should explain the reasons I hold these beliefs.

I started...

Achtung Baby by U2: "Achtung Baby" indeed.

Fri, 3 Nov 2000 06:54:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zoostyle - "I'm ready...ready for the laughing gas..."

With these weird yet exciting words, U2 brought themselves into a brand new and brilliant stage of their career: The release of "Achtung Baby".

Every single cut on...
