Ross (3284 KP) rated Achtung Baby by U2 in Music

Achtung Baby by U2
Achtung Baby by U2
1991 | Alternative
Rolling Stone's 63rd greatest album of all time
I think this is when my enjoyment of U2 would diminish. I was surprised to enjoy their earlier albums, but this seems like the point where style overcame substance. One is an amazing song, but there wasn't an awful lot else to enjoy.

"Of the two bands, I actually preferred Uriah Heep over Deep Purple in their early days. I liked the style and imagery, and of course David Byron was a very charismatic singer. That Roger Dean sleeve made for great packaging, and it had my favourite of their songs, The Wizard."

"All of Wes’s stuff is great, but I really love this one because it was the first time Wes found Wes 2.0. It was like, oh, you’ve unlocked another way of shooting for yourself, which you now see manifested in films like Moonrise Kingdom. His style is now wider than ever."

The style of writing and story telling (0 more)
Could not put this book down, just as the review from the Daily Mail says 'Forces you to turn each page'

The mystery of the killer keeps you captivated all the way through.

Definetly worth a read to any lover of crime novels.

"If every U.S. citizen could have the benefit of knowing Zinn’s collection of historical texts from a wide range of relatively known and unknown people throughout our country’s history, there would be a lot better quality in our current political class and in the style and substance of our governance."

"How did this film fly so far under the radar? I think especially as a woman who grew up Christian in the South, seeing the Christ story through a heroic woman’s POV was… transformative. I love its doc-style approach to such epic material. The miracle is in the conscience."

"Utterly romantic and heartbreaking. Barry Jenkins’ style feels to me like writing with a fresh, felt tip pen in a brand new notebook. It’s a sensory experience; there’s texture and tactility on top of all the emotions. I didn’t want the film to end, but I never do with Jenkins’ films."

Backburner freebie read from mid 2013.

DNF @29%.

This didn't hold my attention at all. The style wasn't smooth for me and I didn't particularly feel anything for anyone. The most connection I felt was her with Kyle back home for that little tryst in the dark.

Not for me.
