U2 "Achtung Baby" 20th Anniversary

Biography

U2 formed in 1978 after Larry Mullen pinned a 'musicians wanted' ad to the notice board at Dublin's Temple Mount School. Adam Clayton had discovered rock'n'roll as a thirteen year old, buying his first acoustic guitar and then talking his parents into buying him a bass guitar. 'It just sounded good to me. Deep and fat and satisfying.'

From the beginning, U2 were marked out by their passion. "A band… Read more in Amazon's U2 Store

4.0 out of 5 stars good for serious U2 fans, October 23, 2000

This review is from: Beautiful Day 1 / Summer Rain / Always (Audio CD)
"Beautiful Day" is a good song, certainly destined to be a classic. This time, it appears that they have not taken a misstep with regard to choosing the first single (as they did with "Numb" and "Discotheque"). The b-sides are worth the buy for the serious U2 fans or those who end up really liking 'All That You Can't Leave Behind.'

"Summer Rain" is an infectious tune that, with a tad bit more work on the lyrics, could have been more than a b-side.

"Always" is an interesting b-side for the same reason that "Lady with a Spinning Head" (from the 'Achtung Baby' sessions) was. That is, as others have pointed out, this song sounds like an early (or later) manifestation of "Beautiful Day" with the similarities in the music. The chorus a la Mr. Roboto is kinda fun as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars b-sides are as good as it gets, October 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Beautiful Day 1 / Summer Rain / Always (Audio CD)
if you are a u2 fan, this single should be bought. Always sounds like another version of Beautiful Day(when you hear it you will understand) and Summer Rain is a very simple tune that has that classic u2 feel. Don't leave this album behind, continue your u2 collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars worth a listen!, October 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Beautiful Day 1 / Summer Rain / Always (Audio CD)
Two new songs:

Summer Rain is nice, but rather ordinary in the world of U2 b-sides. Always is to Beautiful Day what Lady With The Spinning Head is to The Fly. Just like Lady With The Spinning Head, Always is a great tune and makes picking up this single worth every penny.
