"This album delivered Genre crossing or straight forward rock, dance, ballads beginning of a 4 experimental album arc, thus being clearly the best and most focused one. The Guitar effects the edge used. The new approaches to song writing and experimenting with Different time signatures.
Bono poetry on this album hits many different emotional levels. Talking about relationships, reinvention, betrayal. I feel his words in songs like So Cruel, Acrobat and Love Is Blindness are sort of universal in any relationship we are in that we just accept the bad in it.
Can we talk about The Edge?!?!?! He was going through a divorce during the record and he channeled those emotions and put his whole pussy into every single note. Even Better Than The Real Thing and The Fly being just guitar juggernauts
One and Mysterious Ways (more Christian themes but not Christian rock) are just simply great songs and did capture the attention of all the doubters that U2 could continue after Joshua Tree.
This is the first time during my section of the project where I feel even more in love with one of my picks. I’m happy Nick is picking it for his album this week. (My love for clockwork angels. Hedwig and Melt reinforced my love but could never exceed the love I already had)" - Zach
