702. U2- Achtung Baby


A square montage of square photographs arranged in a 4 by 4 grid. The photographs are mostly blue and red in tint, but some are monochrome. They are candid in nature and mostly show four men in various locations, including in an empty street, a crowded festival, under a bridge, in a car, and standing on sand. One photograph is a close-up of a man's hand wearing two rings bearing the characters "U" and "2".

Release Date: 1991
Label: Island

My initial exposure to U2 came in the form of a couple of songs on the mid 90s Now albums, namely 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me' and 'Discoteque'. Neither were terrible, but they didn't make me want to explore them any further. Then they realeased the likes of 'Beautiful Day' and 'Vertigo' around the turn of the millenium and I actively chose to avoid them. Their early stuff, including this, is much better.

609. U2 - The Joshua Tree


A landscape monochrome photograph of U2 in the desert sits in the center of a black background. U2 are standing on the left half of the photograph, with a mountain range on the right half. Tiny gold text reading "THE JOSHUA TREE U2" is stretched across the top of the black background.

Release Date: 1987
Label: Island

Despite being top heavy, this is another very good album from Dublin's finest (+ Bono)

Release Date: 1983

First of all, let's get one thing straight: Bono is an idiot. Nothing will alter this fact, even if I do decide I like some of U2's albums. Like now.
