Achtung Baby by U2

Achtung! Diese Band ist furchtbar, Baby!

1-Star Albums (3)

All Ratings (132)

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 06 2023

Extremely biased, but this holds up.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Oct 09 2023

Yes, this album has been relentlessly flogged on the radio waves over the last 40 years and yes, there is a lot of Water’s fart sniffing going on, but hey, if it smells like roses why not sniff it?

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Oct 11 2023

Rounding up here. I can dig it but dammit, Bobby, what the hell are you talking about? “Yes, I could tell you what he means if I didn’t have to try so hard” Okay

Oct 12 2023

I really enjoyed this one. Some of the tracks ran just a bit too long, but overall this is a fun album. I’d put it it right at 3.5 stars.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Oct 13 2023

Although I prefer their earlier, unpolished punk sound this is good.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Oct 25 2023

I’m glad Dave did well for himself.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Oct 26 2023

Several great songs out of the gate. Started all blending together later on. I liked it

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 27 2023

After a re-listen I feel fortunate that I had this album available to me as a coming of age outlet. Comes out swingin’ and never lets up.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Nov 02 2023

I like Randy. I fell into a couple tickets for an opera house show of his and he’s the penultimate showman. Rednecks and Guilty are solid tracks. This is the second album cover so far with an out of focus picture. Was this a thing?

London Calling by The Clash
Nov 06 2023

Ne’er a wasted chord nor breath.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 09 2023

I adore the sound of analogue synthesizers. Two stars out the gate on that alone. Beyond that it felt like Kirkland Depeche Mode. One more for effort, Boys.

Nov 10 2023

Iconic. The rhymes are dated but Dre, Ren and some of Ice Cube’s hold up. Eazy is Eazy. Love it

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 14 2023

🐐

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 15 2023

Not my favorite Doors rig but tracks 1, 2, 4 and 11 render this album a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Achtung Baby by U2
Nov 16 2023

Achtung! Diese Band ist furchtbar, Baby!

Nixon by Lambchop
Nov 17 2023
Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Nov 22 2023

Like it

Infected by The The
Nov 23 2023

It’s like Ministry, Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails but happier. Much appreciated.

The Clash by The Clash
Nov 24 2023

Janie Jones, I’m so Bored…, White Riot, Police and Thieves. Thank you The Clash

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Nov 27 2023

Stairway is not half bad when you’re listening to it on purpose.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Nov 29 2023

The kids are alright.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 30 2023

Toots, Tosh, Nancy, Marley, hell Mighty Diamonds. Come one come all, I ❤️reggae

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Dec 01 2023

There were most certainly better albums coming out in ‘76 but this still holds up as classic Americana. This in spite of the cover art. Looks like something a 13yo boy of the era would conceive with an album cover generator. “Holy shit, a bandolier! Hell yeah!”

C'est Chic by CHIC
Dec 04 2023

Comes on strong, fizzles fast.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Dec 05 2023

Anyways, here’s wonder wall on a ukulele

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Dec 07 2023

I like the cut of his jib.

Vulnicura by Björk
Dec 14 2023

Sometimes I love Bjork. This ain’t one of them times.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 16 2024

Solid gold.

Play by Moby
Jan 23 2024

1990’s zeitgeist

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 31 2024

There’s worse pop

Kenya by Machito
Feb 01 2024
Back In Black by AC/DC
Feb 07 2024

Lyrics are dated as shit, still rocks. Lost my virginity to shook me all night long, some of the worst sex of my life. There’s probably a metaphor in that somewhere.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Feb 13 2024

No one sings like you anymore
