    Seriously, could there be a more perfect album than this? I don't think so. "So Cruel"...what a great song!

    No probs. I keep hearing Mysterious Ways on the radio and reminded how good Bono's singing was for the whole album. I would probably just repeat what I'm sure I said earlier in this thread - his phrasing and lyrics across Achtung Baby are amongst the best stuff he's done imo. I would join in the discussion again Chris, but I'd only end up saying this same thing over and over again :lol:

    It's great what you've said. I agree with you about his singing. Also, his best lyrics are on this album.

    From the Sky Down, the new movie about the album, has a part with Bono listening to an early take of Mysterious Ways and you can him phrasing the verses without lyrics.

    Just watched From the Sky Down. Awesome film. It's crazy how close they were to breaking up before that album was made. I love the part when Bono is listening to an early instrumental version of Mysterious Ways where you can hear the Edge experimenting with different chord progressions. Then suddenly the music morphs into the main chord structure and melody for "One". They stop the track and Bono kinda goes "wow, that's interesting." Like he had forgotten where the idea for that song originally sprang from. Very cool stuff.

    :thumbup: Couple more weeks and I'll be watching it on Showtime! Can't wait for the movie! I've been listening to everything related to "Achtung Baby" the last few days; the album, the singles and b-sides, bootlegs from the ZOO TV Tour, and "Salome".

    I think that's the date. The 28th or 29th. Can't remember. I'll be firing up the DVR for it incase I'm not home for it.

    Nice. I can wait two more weeks. I posted a video from YouTube, where it was a u2.com special, about a special look into the movie and it looks really good. God, this has to be the bands best album. Either this or Joshua Tree.

    Don't click if you don't want spoilers. But yeah, that's a great part.

    Okay without reading through all of the comments, it sounds like Zooropa will be released only in the Uber Deluxe boxset, is that right? I hope not, that's ridiculous. Is the documentary dvd going to be available in any of the box sets?

    1. It does seem like Zooropa will be released only in the Uber box set, which is sad.

    2. Yes, it'll be available in the Uber and Super Deluxe. I think it's also getting its own separate DVD/Blu-ray release. Not 100% sure on that.

    I still expect that there will be a remastered Zooropa released on its own somewhere in the future. Including a Deluxe Edition with extra songs (B-sides, remixes and a few outtakes).
    In that respect, I still don't understand why Zooropa is included in the Super and Uber Deluxe boxsets.
