  U2 | Biography | MTV
Unlike many of their contemporaries, U2 was able to sustain their popularity in the '90s by reinventing themselves as a postmodern, self-consciously ironic dance-inflected pop/rock act, owing equally to the experimentalism of late-'70s Bowie and '90s electronic dance and techno.
U2 had become one of the most popular bands in the world, and their righteous political stance soon became replicated by many other bands, providing the impetus for the Band Aid and Live Aid projects in 1984 and 1985, respectively.
Many hardcore U2 fans, including drummer Larry Mullen, Jr., were unhappy with the Passengers project, and U2 promised their next album, to be released in the fall of 1996, would be a rock & roll record.

 Apple Computer iPod U2 Special Edition (with video) | iLounge iPod Accessory Reviews
Like the first U2 iPod, debuted in October, 2004 and released that November (with a fl and white screen, as well as the subsequent color version), what you get for the premium price is a fl and red iPod with the signatures of U2’s bandmates on the back, and a token U2-specific pack-in.
The differences between U2 iPods and their standard edition brethren have always been three in number - cosmetics, token pack-ins, and modestly different pricing - and in the past, we’ve generally not felt them deserving of different ratings.
So even being a U2 fan was not enough to make me buy the first issue as you could not get all the benefits for the extra money.

 Achtung Baby - U2 - Song Listings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In such a dense musical setting, it isn't surprising that U2 have abandoned the political for the personal on Achtung Baby, since the music, even with its inviting rhythms, is more introspective than anthemic.
Bono has never been as emotionally naked as he is on Achtung Baby, creating a feverish nightmare of broken hearts and desperate loneliness; unlike other U2 albums, it's filled with sexual imagery, much of it quite disturbing, and it ends on a disquieting note.
Few bands as far into their career as U2 have recorded an album as adventurous or fulfilled their ambitions quite as successfully as they do on Achtung Baby, and the result is arguably their best album.
