  • This captures the spirit of the original. Raw as fuck

  • Next to One, Acrobat is probably the most passionate song on Achtung Baby. In a way, the ideal song for Glasvegas to cover. The band sounds tight and furious and James Allen gives his all. "Don't let the bastards grind you down" indeed. My only objection is the distortion on the vocal in the mix. It's a nod to the ethics of the original album and its producer, Flood. It makes their version even more raw, but I should have liked to hear James' voice soar undistorted over the wall of sound.

  • I love glasvegas!

  • they took the song to the next level

  • something missing.. bono's voice :(

  • The only cover on this album that blew me away. The other covers were very disappointing

  • i think it's a good remix , great voice ! but i a really fan of U2 so i prefer the original version but this one is nice !

  • si hoy U2 reeditasen Achtung Baby, el Acrobat sonaria exactamente así

  • Listening to this at 5 am brought me the very first complaint by my neighbours in almost 13 years (sorry about that) - but one was asking what it was (so not sorry about it whatsoever! :o))

  • I LIKE IT!

  • Chilling!
