my favourites are “a sort of homecoming” from the unforgettable fire and “ultra violet (light my way)” from achtung baby. i love the free-flowing structure and writing of the former. it’s a very unique song with great production. and “ultra violet” is just so incredibly intoxicating. it’s the great climax to achtung baby in my opinion. “where the streets have no name” is also in the mix though, no doubt.

The whole of Achtung Baby!

this is my first video of yours and i'm only 4 minutes in but you seem so happy to be here and i love it

Really interested in hearing your thoughts on achtung baby

Gigantic album, perfect. As 'Acthung Baby' (1991). U2 are magical.

Good to see a young man appreciate a classic album from u2 and knowledgeable too,if you are going for a deep dive into u2 go for Boy their debut album then War and Achtung Baby another classic

Bono plays the Harmonica. My favourite U2 song is actually from the next album Rattle and Hum and it's All I want is You, a beautiful song that Bono wrote for his wife but i love it because of the ending and the lyrics, if you think With or Without You has a good ending, this song blows it out of the water in my opinion. Yeah this is my favourite U2 album with Achtung Baby a close second.

700th like

I really enjoyed your reaction. Now I'm really curious to hear what you think of Achtung Baby. It's another absolute highlight in their career. For Achtung Baby, they had to completely reinvent themselves. Will you react to that album as well?

Dude... amazing review!! Would love to see your reaction to all those songs but LIVE... you'll get som many goosebumps..

Great as always Jack! I haven't listened to Joshua Tree in years and this brought everything back. Still no Elbow though buddy? What you doing to me!! Check out The Seldom Seen Kid album, there's some songs you'd recognise for sure, plus it's a brilliant indie album from a brilliant band, still going strong after 30 years.

My favorite U2 song of all time is Until The End of The World. It brings every U2 strength - lyrically, musically, live performance, and Edge on fire.

G'day Jack yep saw U2 in concert in Adelaide with BB King they are legends and their music sounds just as good as it did back in the 80's, pure talent will always be respected. Mate react to The Unforgettable Fire one of the most underrated Albums of all time. Yes the Joshua Tree is brilliant, loved it and I had it on Vinyl along with most of their albums.

Favorite U2 song is Bad on the album before this one.

As I can tell your Australian, so am I! I actually flew from Melbourne to Las Vegas last year to see U2 at The Sphere, and I went to 2 shows while I was there. Let me tell you that those 2 shows were the BEST concerts I've ever seen in my life! And it will be very hard to beat it. In my opinion, they are the best live act you could possibly see I think the next U2 album you should listen to should be Achtung Baby. It is considered their most "grungy" album. My favourite song from that album is "Until The End Of The World" Ps. Bono plays the harmonica in the studio and live

Makes me happy that you reacted to Exit that way I did. Btw, saw U2 live at the L.A. coliseum front row at the Pop Mart Tour 1997, then 360 tour and the recent Joshua Tree tour, amazing concerts! Last thing, listening to Bullet in the Blue Sky while traveling through El Salvador sure added to my experience.

Massive millennial fan here. Saw them for the first time in Vegas. Unbelievable.

You MUST react to Achtung Baby after this. One Tree Hill is my favorite U2 song. I think it’s the emotional centerpiece of this album. It’s not showy like some other tracks on the album, but it seeps into your bloodstream after a few listens and rips you apart when you learn what the song is about. This is a great reaction, man. So interesting to see someone react to this masterpiece for the first time. Your response is so authentic.

One Tree Hill from the Point Depot is an outstanding live performance worth checking out. Mother's Of The Disappeared as a Rattle And Hum outtake is another excellent live performance. Seen U2 twenty times with the most recent at The Sphere, where they played every track from Achtung Baby, which is worth a full reaction.

One of the few perfect albums out there.

My favorite from this timeless album is Running to Stand Still

As a fan of 38 years, Ive seen them 13 times. The Joshua Tree is number 2 by a hair to the perfection of Achtung Baby. ZooTV was the most insane and groundbreaking tour of all time. Would be cool instead of doing an album, react to ZooTV Sydney 1993 concert.

Best album ever, should have brought world peace, cured cancer and stopped global warming. its that good.

This album is a prime example of how sampled songs should be.

I always go back an forth between With or Without you and Running to stand still as my favorite.

One Tree Hill bit of an under appreciated gem IMHO

That’s Bono on harmonica!

Nice Jack!! Seen when with or without you explodes at the Sphere, Las Vegas it was amazing! Im from Longford Ireland, just down the road from Dublin and proud that this band is from home... Favourite tracks would be bad, the fly and pride... love belting them out when cooking dinner 😂

I’ve seen them 3 times. The first time was just after 9/11. It was extremely powerful. We truly felt as one. I recall the names of all the victims being reflected across the stage. So emotional . The band has an incredible way of making their audience feel united. Like we can accomplish anything.

Jack I saw them twice and they really were (are?) one of the best live bands of all. They weren't afraid to go beyond the songs and make them mean new things or explore new things harmonically (except for The Edge's guitar solos, ha)

I think U2 are so overhated to the highest degree. Yes, their recent albums aren’t great, and that whole deal with Apple was not good. However, that Apple issue was so long ago, and the music they made before then is more than deserving of appreciation.

Exit live is an absolute show stopper. But, favorite live from thus album is one tree hill. The build from start to end is an angelic climb. RIP Greg Carroll.

Took my 16 yr old nephew to the 30 yr Joshua tree tour in 2016. He'd been to many pop, hip hop and rap shows- he was blown away by this concert.

yep. one of the best albums of all time. it hasn't dropped at all in satisfaction since i first listened to it in 2006. my favorites are bullet the blue sky, running to stand still, and exit. my overall favorite u2 song is "i fall down", off october. i'm a big fan of piano being incorporated into rock music

17:45 you dont listen to enough of the alternative genre haha.

Bullet the blue sky about money and war. Guitar sounds like a fighter jet. Running to stand still about drug usage .

Right there with you brother!

Great review Jack

I think you should try an REM record from early 90's. Out of time, automatic for the people and Monster are my suggestions

I was a huge U2 fan growing up, got into them around Rattle and Hum, got to see their ZooTV tour in Sydney where I was 2nd row in front of Bono after camping out with mates for 2 nights. It’s great music no matter what people say about Bono. Their early albums are great too

I saw U2 the second night of the beginning of the Joshua Tree tour in Phoenix, Arizona. It was magical. Two years later they came back as the biggest band in the world and filmed the Rattle and Hum film. Got to be there for both. Grateful.

Dnaiel Lanois and Brian Eno were the sonic architects of this album. Eno's signature ambient textures and floating, ethereal sound pallet really make this album something special.

If you’re interested, here a video theorizing on the story within the album-as there definitely is one: the album follows the journey of a dying cancer patient: m.ua-cam.com/video/CfUgBbuSTPQ/v-deo.html

Knives Out kinda reminds me of Blow Out from Pablo Honey, and I like both songs a lot.

In other parts of the world they never heard of them because they never sold but people would hear them in movies like down and out in Beverly Hills great music saw in concert great

I heard this album first time in march 2024 and instantly bought it on vinyl next day.

amazing how much literature and knowledge has been lost in such a short time 2+2=5

The first 3 records have a special place in my heart. And Ghost Stories too to be honest xD
