You are absolutely right. Even back in the 90s, this album sounded fresh.

The most amazing re-birth of a band ever in this video. They needed so much guts and artistic faith to kill the 80s U2, and to create the 90s U2. A brilliant move that gambled on everything - and was a great success.

Man, I'll say it again -- Bono was def sexiest in this era (along with the Zooropa era). Like, DAMN. 🔥The early 90s were truly his heydays. 🔥

Bono's "The Fly" persona was sexy as mo-fo.

Well, what about that guitar solo, eh? For me, it's one of the high peaks in the whole history of European music. I'm in awe of it. 👌 👏🏿 😍

I still want a pair of those sunglasses.

This record was 30 years ahead of its time.

A great metamorphosis and never repeated. Bono, personifying the band, went from intensely hippie to a cocky mix of Jim Morrison, Elvis and a girls punisher in a industrial discotheque. Brilliantly creative. Eternally awesome.

The Edge has this ability to make a guitar wail with a melody. Its not just playing it. Its getting the resonance out of it, finding sounds in there that aren’t just noise. He is a master at making a guitar sing.

I totally agree! One of the best examples of Edge’s guitar work, is “Until the end of the world”: while Bono sings his verse, the Edge “sings” his guitar line, two music melodies flow together, with no contrast, in an incredible mix. You can easily listen to each single part, or both together, at the same time. They always work as a great team. One of the greatest bands in history.

To go from their long haired dressed like pirates late 80s era look to these cool AF early 90s guys was pretty bad ass.

absolute brilliance. From opening chord and word to the last guitar note as it drones out. Lyrically so robust. Def one of my top 5 U2 songs of all time.

U2 at their darkest...and I love it

simply amazing

Bono looking ultra-cool, Edge firing on all cylinders...... What a great great song !!

I remember getting into U2 in a big way - about late 1988 when I was 11. Spent the best part of 3 years buying all their albums and things, wondering when anything new would come out. I remember the Night and Day video (1990) gave us a hint about what was to come next - but it felt like an eternity and I actually thought they were finished. Then, one day in 1991 I turn on the TV, about half way through this video and I'm like, "it's them!!!!" They're back! And it's very different, but still them! Amazing stuff and it still hits me in the core.

Achtung baby, the last masterpiece of U2.

Totally and completely agree. Friends and I have at length discussed this very thing. That is, what happens with a band such as U2 when this happens. Why and how does this happen? Is it like many things, simply a finite amount of creative energy that is in itself is fueled by a time and place in life, encompassing the pain, joy, drugs and or tragedies, life experiences that flavor and embolden it? And when a time passes as you grow older, fat and happy, that window closes and the music that is produced is just complete effort and work, only a contrived resemblance of past creativity and genius riding on the coat tails of just that in the name of "U2"...
