JT and Achtung Baby are superior in my opinion, because they work as musical entities and they all keep a staple theme successfully. Pop could have been one of the great albums, but it didn't take off, and Zooropa's just, well, it's experimental music, like Pink Floyd with a touch of Edge madness. I do still love the latter 2, but I think there's a reason why JT and AB are (and rightly so) more celebrated works.


    well actually you're very right. AB and JT are superior albums. Pop and Zooropa are non ''U2''-records, and that's what it makes them the best of U2 for me. It's just the famous rockband taking an different route with their music and experimenting etc. The results are just... rocking.

    You have an uncanny knack for saying exactly what I'm thinking.
  3. I noticed this recently when on iTunes 8 with Genius; not sure if anyone's ever seen it before. Take a look in the top-right-hand corner, under Search.

    New album released 09/30/08?



    The things you notice...don't worry about what's playing.

    I think I know where you're coming from even if it doesn't quite click with me - do you essentially mean you prefer Pop and Zooropa because they're not classic U2 albums?

    @ Aussie - great minds think alike

    New album = UABRS remastered imo.


  6. Nope, because it shows the already released albums right underneath, of which one is UABRS.


  7. Well, September's well-gone and it's now October, so I guess Apple just published it.


  8. dieder is right Drew. HTDAAB is a top album, UABRS is just released.


  9. Eh? They're not my choices. I'd rate HTDAAB as one of the lowe(st) albums. Pop should be in its place.

    I was referring to the date, not the covers. New album 30/09/2008 is what you can see. Maybe it is UABRS...but is it completely new?

    I know, I know...useless thing, but I'll make it clear.

    iTunes shows:

    U2
    ======
    new album released 9/30/08
    UABRS

    Top album
    HTDAAB

    HTDAAB is rated top because it has 4.5 stars, so maybe the iTunes-users can vote, I don't know (hate it afterall).
    UABRS is just released, so it shows 9/30/08.
