Wished they still sounded like this. As a musician, I understand the need to grow and experiment musically. All my favourite bands did it. But I admit that I lost track of U2 after Zooropa, which I thought was shite. When I heard Achtung Baby, I could tell they were losing their Irish rock sound, becoming more Americanized, but the album did grow on me. Saw them on that tour and they pulled off all the classics with that signature sound. Sometimes it takes more than one listen, I suppose...
begged for the cassette for Christmas one year...got it...went out into the garage, sat there in my parents' Delta 98 listening to it on a cold Chicago Christmas. One great memory.
Just played this entire song on bass... it's great to know that I can play ALMOST as good as Adam. Nobody will ever match up to the awesomeness of Adam Clayton's bass playing, it just won't happen.

As a lover of punk and psychedelicate music i got to learn bout U2 in '82. These are the songs wherein i found love, in and for music. Thank you U2.

This has got to be the band's more overlooked album. It's one of my top 3 favorite U2 albums next to Joshua Tree and Zooropa.
