Welcome to the December issue of WikiProject U2's newsletter! This month's theme is Achtung Baby, generally considered one of U2's great masterpieces. We hope you enjoy reading it!

The Album
  • Achtung Baby was released on November 19, 1991, and followed with the massive Zoo TV Tour.
  • The album represents a marked change in U2's sound, coming after Bono's Lovetown Tour announcement that the band was going to "go away and dream it all up again".
  • Achtung Baby is one of U2's most critically acclaimed albums, sometimes called one of rock's best.
  • Despite the "thin layer of trash" on the record, Achtung Baby is markedly darker than some of U2's earlier work.
  • The U.S. album cover is the only one to feature an uncensored picture of Adam naked on the cover montage.
  • "Achtung baby" means "Careful, baby" or "Attention baby"; it was used frequently during recording, and came from the Mel Brooks film The Producers.
  • The singles from this album were The Fly (chosen because it sounded "nothing like U2"), Mysterious Ways, One, Even Better Than The Real Thing, and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses.
