Bono is one of the best lyricists in rock n' roll. I always preferred 'Achtung Baby' to 'Joshua Tree'. Feel like "Ultra Violet" is more characteristic of the Pre-Reinvented Achtung U2, though.

And that line is a such a <i>desolate</i> image -- the naked bulb, so inadequate to the task of lighting the room, leaving it always half in shadow; love is not the answer to all your problems, at best it's an unreliable, flickering spark in the darkness --but for God's sake <i>hold on to it</i>. It is a squalid, seedy, grimy scene; and who would have thought, in 1991, that those were adjectives you could ever associate with a U2 song? And that's not even mentioning tthe <i>way</i> he sings it -- all through the song he's been in his low, growly register, and then on that final verse he goes up the octave and just lets loose from the gut -- but it's not the soaring high voice of earlier U2 records; it's cracking, strained, desperate. <i>Achtung Baby</i> is just about the last time U2 allowed themselves to be so vulnerable, and it's still their best record, I think.

Bono is one of the best lyricists in rock n' roll. I always preferred 'Achtung Baby' to 'Joshua Tree'. Feel like "Ultra Violet" is more characteristic of the Pre-Reinvented Achtung U2, though.

And that line is a such a <i>desolate</i> image -- the naked bulb, so inadequate to the task of lighting the room, leaving it always half in shadow; love is not the answer to all your problems, at best it's an unreliable, flickering spark in the darkness --but for God's sake <i>hold on to it</i>. It is a squalid, seedy, grimy scene; and who would have thought, in 1991, that those were adjectives you could ever associate with a U2 song? And that's not even mentioning tthe <i>way</i> he sings it -- all through the song he's been in his low, growly register, and then on that final verse he goes up the octave and just lets loose from the gut -- but it's not the soaring high voice of earlier U2 records; it's cracking, strained, desperate. <i>Achtung Baby</i> is just about the last time U2 allowed themselves to be so vulnerable, and it's still their best record, I think.
