  3. 4 / 10. It may be hard to hear me speaking in it as I've kept it a poem not a song.


    OK, it deserved it.

    I've always found Acrobat the weakest Achtung track followed by One and then Even Better - but even with those three, it's a brilliant album if not one of the best I've ever heard (and I've played hundreds of full albums!). But then Zooropa and Original Soundtracks came along, three and five years before I was a fan, and I listen to those a lot more lately for some reason. Although if we didn't have One, we wouldn't have U2 and have this place.

    Original Soundtracks is a masterpiece.
  4. I thought so too some time ago, but I slowly realize the beauty of Acrobat, that guitar work!

  5. It's not a bad song though. It's great but the brilliance of Achtung, something's gotta be weakest and that's the one for me. On a good day it's One that's the weakest.

    One of my favourites is Levitate. Beautiful song.
  6. The Fly and One are the weakest tracks on Achtung Baby, and even so they're better than 90% of this past decade's work.

    Acrobat is a beauty of a song, whose greatness has been dramatically improved by the fact that it hasn't been played ever. That helps.A.L.O.T.
  7. I bet they're saving Acrobat for the very last time. How has he been an acrobat all these years in regards to music, politics, family and pop culture. The decade's weakest album has to be ATYCLB by far. Wild Honey, When I Look At The World and The Ground Beneath Her Feet I'll take.

    It's a bloody strong album if all the songs are listenable and quality yet have some weak ones, not really weak in that sense. Probably the last strong album was Zooropa - Pop had some pretty crap songs on there e.g. Discotheque and Staring At The Sun (for me at least).

    I'd shit myself if they bought Acrobat out for 360. I really would. Although they ought to miss out on something given at the show I went to they played Hold Me Thrill Me. But they did play Bad and Mercy in a row, so I guess that was better than anything. I didn't mind the Crazy remix either.

    I've a few photos I've meant to upload but too small for the gallery from my show not using zoom-in at all.
  8. Deciding which track is the weakest on AB, is kinda impossible...
  9. Now I feel like like recording something. Just have to decide what.


  10. I think Trying To Throw Your Arms is the weakest.
  11. I don't think there's any one track on Achtung Baby that can be considered weak! The album is just so complete with each song, and each song contributes something different.
