  1. 2021 saw Achtung Baby reach its 30th anniversary. Thirty years on it still sounds uniquely fresh. Spawning classic tracks such One and The Fly, Achtung Baby still trades blows with The Joshua Tree as many fans favourite U2 album. In our latest U2start ‘Original’, 12 essays from forum members dissect the 12 tracks of Achtung Baby, breaking down their origins, interpretation of lyrics and personal attachment to some of the band's greatest ever songs.

    It's something we've worked on for quite some time, and many share very personal stories.

    Hope you enjoy it: https://u2start.com/content/article/50/Achtung-Baby-the-album-that-changed-us

  10. Thanks all for enjoying our little piece and for your kind comments It's amazing to read what other fellow U2starters have to say about these songs that are part of our lives.
  11. Listening to this on vinyl tonight and am reminded by this article about how brilliant the trilogy on side 4 is - Ultraviolet, Acrobat and Love Is Blindness. We’ve recently shared thoughts on albums with the best opening three songs but is there any album, U2 or otherwise, that finishes as strongly as this?
