Re: Re: Whose producing the new album??
Commercially, it was a big success. Artistically, it is probably (argurably) their weakest album IMO. I love most of the studio tracks, but some of the live tracks...what were they thinking? (i.e. All Along The Watchtower.) Also the packaging & liners were U2 at their most overly serious & holier than thou, especially at a time they needed to lighten up a bit. Still, it is important album because without all the backlash it received, a lot of it justified IMO, we probably wouldn't have gotten Achtung Baby.

Actually, Rattle and Hum (the album, not the movie) didn't flop at all. It sold an insane amount of copies - somewhere around the 9 or 10 million mark.
