U2 - Achtung Baby (Top 500 Countdown Update)

This is a good album but it seems to be a bit lost and dragging at times. I think with "One" U2 showed an ability to do a straight rock/pop song and that more pop oriented feel floats in and out the rest of the album, like on the song "Mysterious Ways." All in all it isn't a very consistent album and is definitely transitional in nature a mix of a newer harder sounding pop to the old anthemic sound of Joshua Tree.
