So how would you describe the songs from ATYCLB and HTDAAB ???,, If you call Achtung baby commercial, then those two records are SUPER commercial.
When somebody says that Achtung baby, Zooropa and Pop were experimental records, then what do you all think that it means ??
I am sure its meant within the U2 catalog. And somebody already mentioned that Achtung showed so many new sides to U2. From vocals, sounds ect.. THATS why it was experimental.
Maybe some of us simply liked the fact that U2 could surprise us and REINVENT themselves like that. Because thats exactly what they did.
When somebody want U2 to pull another Achtung Baby, then maybe its not surposed to be understood as maybe The Fly part 2... Its the feeling of something fresh.. And HTDAAB does not provide that feeling for me.. Its a great album, and i love it. And i wouldn´t bash it for anything, because i have no reason to do so.
I hoped for something more, and i only have myself to blame for that. But i will continue to hope for a U2 album that totally blows my mind again. Until then, i am thrilled to have HTDAAB.
