U2's musical impact on the world has spanned 25+ years and has yielded some outstanding albums, including War, The Joshua
Tree, and All That You Can't Leave Behind. Over this time, they have mastered the arena-rock, anthemic sound that has resonated
over decades in the form of some of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Although Achtung Baby is unlike any other U2 album
released, it's possibly their greatest album, and personally, is my favorite of their albums. It was progressive in its rougher,
alternative post-modern rock sound that was uncharacteristic of the band's established sound at the time. It's a much more
introspective album, featuring heartfelt songs like "One" and "Love is Blindness". U2 experiments with
new song structures and musical devices in all of these varied songs, all of which seeming both foreign and fitting at the
same time. This is a fantastic album that further established U2 as one of the greatest bands of all time.
