Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-27 00:00:00 Prince Burks I read this book over fifteen years ago and I thought at the time that it was the best biography of my favorite band that could have ever been written. It probably still is. This book covers a two-year window of U2's career: the making of Achtung Baby and the conceptual creation, design, and carryout of the Zoo TV tour that followed it. It's a very personal biography'Flanagan went everywhere with these boys, sharing bus rides, plane rides, hotel stays. He was in the studio with them for every recording session, he was backstage with them at every gig. They couldn't get away from him! And the result is this great time capsule capture, not just of the band that I have loved since I was twelve, but also of the four boys who comprise it. This book epitomizes what I so intensely love about Achtung Baby, an album that signified their first major change in artistic direction since the band formed in the late 1970s. It was bold, it was risky, it was a period of their career marked with serious strife, and it hugely paid off. I won't tell you this, but when I was a teenager, I used to collect copies of bootlegged "session tapes" the band recorded during their making of Achtung Baby in Berlin. It was mostly crap, but once in a while you would hear a riff that you recognized as the beginnings of one song or another from the album, and there was something about the recognition of that greatness that just blew me away. 1998 was close to the zenith of my U2 fandom, though the curve hasn't really declined much. It just takes breaks sometimes. Here is a ranking (with ratings!) of all of U2's released studio albums to date, including their Passengers project with Brian Eno: 1. Achtung Baby - ★★★★★ 2. The Unforgettable Fire - ★★★★★ 3. The Joshua Tree - ★★★★★ 4. All That You Can't Leave Behind - ★★★★★ 5. Zooropa - ★★★★★ 6. War - ★★★★☆ 7. Pop - ★★★★☆ 8. No Line on the Horizon - ★★★★☆ 9. Boy - ★★★★☆ 10. October - ★★★☆☆ 11. Original Soundtracks 1 - ★★★☆☆ 12. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - ★★☆☆☆ 13. Rattle and Hum - ★★☆☆☆

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-03 00:00:00 Christopher Hoyle I'd read this once back in 2005 and still had my copy of course I'd forgot a lot of details but a lot of the main events were still there for me. If there was any band I could say I grew up with it was this one. I know Bono is a polarizing figure - as is the band - but for me the music is really one of the main soundtracks of my life. I'd seen every tour of theirs from this one (Zoo TV) up through 360 in 2011. I'd always respected the transcendent spiritual element that really is there in the music and Achtung Baby in particular was the first U2 album release that for me was an event. It was the start of my senior year in high school - right in that prime age for our adolescent musical memories. Anyway, nostalgia trips aside, this was and still is an amazing rock bio - even if some of the language and writing is noticeably 90s dated by now.
