Negative Positive
Title: A masterpiece!!
Review: Certainly the best album of the 1990s and one of the greatest albums of all time. Interestingly, unlike The Joshua Tree, none of the 12 tracks on this album would be considered smash hits (I don't think any of the tracks did particularly well on the singles charts). But as a whole, the album is MUCH, MUCH bigger than its elements! It is darker, more complex, more sexual than the previous albums; at times hypnotic, and at times incredibly romantic. At the time of its release, the world of music was in midst of a revolution. Grunge and alternative rock were the order of the day. Achtung Baby was as far from that musical style as The Joshua Tree was from 80s Heavy Metal and Pop. However, like a true classic, the album has outlived the fads of its time and continues to sound fresher than ever. I am sure I will still be listening to it 10 years from today.
