Achtung Baby by U2 – Alternative/Rock. This is their second biggest selling album. It re-invented U2 and always makes it into greatest albums ever lists. Not sure why though. There are some good parts to it but it still feels overblown and pompous even though they were apparently trying to take themselves less seriously. There’s a lot of fat on this album that could have been trimmed. Though it may have sounded fresh at the time I can’t help but think it sounds just a tad dated now. Tracks worth hearing: Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses; Zoo Station; The Fly
Grade: C
