"My name is Max D. and I am 16. Most kids my age are listening to rap or that incomprehensive heavy metal, garage, screaming goobaldeegock music. Me however, love classic rock and I love U2.U2 have had some good albums in their career with 'Zooropa' and 'Pop' and they have had great albums with the 'Unforgettable Fire' and 'All That You Can't Leave Behind'. But 'Achtung Baby' deserves to be up there with the 'Joshua Tree' and 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'. The album starts off with Zoo Station. Even Better Then The Real Thing is a cool-feeling tune that many will enjoy. The slow One is a journey all on it's own with three levels of intensity. Bono's voice in Until The End Of The World and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses? is superb. Then things get technical in the groovy jingle The Fly. Listen to the double chorus, will you. Bono start's his trademark wailing into the microphone for Mystery Ways. Things go back to normal in Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World. The last three songs are too genius to sum up individually, so I will let you listen and judge."
