Arguably U2’s best album Achthung was definitely a new step for the band away from its popular rock ballads. Achtung definitely has a rockier feel to it with tracks like Mysterious Ways and The Fly. I considered these tracks to be the best on the album. But what an album it is. The ballads that made famous are still there with One and Who’s Gonna Ride You Wild Horses. But there is a new experimental thing going on with disco and synth. The best of these is Even Better Than The Real Thing and Until The End Of The World. The album seems more personal than previous political driven albums and there is emotional under tone right the way through. The great thing about this band are musicians who are actually really talented, so no member stands out to much, but as a band they do. Bono appears to stand out because he is a showman, but this is only live. In an album, they are a four man band, each giving 100%. I give this album 4 stars.
