I can't love a song based on its lyrics.
I love everything about "so Cruel", I just feel the lyrics are the strongest part. I see what you're saying though, definetly.

He was one when it came out.
I think it's cool the band is still winning over new fans who have no clue of their past and may not even like their past...
COBL_04 said:Like BonoVoxSupastar picked up on, I was ONE YEAR OLD when Achtung Baby came out. I decided I liked U2 when I first heard Beautiful Day and Stuck In A Moment on Rage a few years back. I did not know that U2 had been around since the start of the 80's. I think I was 11 at the time. In November or December last year, Vertigo was released and I bought HTDAAB. I loved it. I reviewed it on metacritic.com, and that was when I discovered that U2 had been around for ages. Then I bought ATYCLB and got even more into U2. I became a member of this forum, bought the 80/90 best of and I was hooked. Then I started a thread called 'the next one'. I wanted to ask people on this forum's opinion of what album I should get next. They all said AB, and I bought it YESTERDAY. I BOUGHT IT YESTERDAY. NOT FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, YESTERDAY

Ooh fun, I did the same thing about 5 years ago. It'll be fun, a musical journey. (you'll understand that joke soon enough )
I started getting into U2 when I was 18, in late 2000. There was this actor that I liked, and I read in an interview from 1998, that he was a fan of U2. I kinda vaguely knew there was a band called U2, but I didn't actually start to get into them, until I heard their song "Beautiful Day" in 2000. I liked the song for awhile but I didn't know it was U2 until I finally saw their video and the end credits displayed the name of band/etc.
I really liked their song "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me," when it came out, goodness, almost 10 years ago, but sadly, didn't get into them then.
My first year of becoming a U2 fan, was with a completely blank slate towards U2.
I got the best of 1980-90 first, then War, October, Joshua Tree, ATYCLB, then I got the rest their albums in a very short amount of time after, half at one time, the other half at another.
(years of saved birthday money came in handy).
I wasn't into message boards until late 2001, when I already had all their studio albums. Though I was into browsing websites, learned alot about the band that first year with atu2.com's site. (didn't find out about interference till later).
"Achtung Baby" was recommended to me by someone I chatted with in a chatroom, but it was just, "great album, check it out."
I got to completely judge all of U2's albums, until "Atomic Bomb" with hardly any outside input.
That's what a lot of newbies nowadays don't have. Getting to listen and decide how they feel about U2 without any outside opinion.
"War" still remains my favorite/#1 album.
