What is the difference to this pressing from 1991? Both issues with the uncensored Adam Clayton nude image on back sleeve?
<https://discogs.sitiodesbloquea.com/de/U2-Achtung-Baby/release/1435215> -
I am not enthusiastic about the sound of the vinyl. It sounds a bit pinched or compressed. There is sufficient bass but I miss dynamics and it is not sparkling. I am not sure if this is specifically related to the vinyl, too many songs per side, or to the mastering. I am not able to compare it with the CD sound.

I’ve loved this band since seeing them on a tv show in the late 70’s in N. Ireland but as U2 records go.. this is shite... sorry.! -
Wow, this sounds really nice. I always thought the sound of both the initial CD version and the remastered CD version were much to dense and compressed, surely owed to the very "fat" multi-track production. This vinyl version sounds much more open and wide, drums and bass guitar i.e. on "So cruel" are so alive and kicking. -

Referencing Achtung Baby LP Translucent Vinyl U28 510347-1
The cover is poor coloured, but the record's sound is fine, I have re-issue Netherland and no have much different, rich bass, light trebles.
Track A1 have a hum aat beging the song. -
Edited 12 years agoU2 never was a rock'n'roll band in the early Stones sense of the genre, they were and are a pop band. Their early records do sound like the 80`s, little cheesy but very popular. Good music, reaches far, and carry mild political "soft riot" messages. It works. U2 is purifying music, puts you in a nice contemplative mood, it flows and you're feeling good.
Every old band went through changes in their career to update software and hardware. Depeche Mode is a good example or the U2. I grew up on my dad's early hard rock tapes went through goa and now into experimental electronica, I do like this electro-pop-rock U2, same little cheese as in the 80's but rich. So I don't see the point blaming them for playing popular music. It's not politics after all, being a populist in music, if it's honest, is totally acceptable. U2 sounds true, it's genuine, honest music.
My favorite song on this album is Acrobat. it's simple, powerful, emotional, all you need from the modern Western Pop-Zen
