What makes a band at the peak of their careers? With Joshua Tree a milestone in rock history stored, to Europe is now suddenly all over America the band's feet. A worldwide mega successful tour behind him, praised by music critics to the skies. Now it would be easy to find a follow-up album (let's leave Rattle and Hum outside before, is not a classic studio album) to produce the style of Joshua Tree. The sale would be guaranteed. Most bands would probably do so. BUT NOT U2! With a significant change in direction were all surprised. This album brings a whole new style that I admittedly initially had once "digest". But in the end I could not take down the platter and it ran in a loop the album. In individual songs you need not go into here, the album is all over a work of art. Still outstanding and a song for the ages "One".
