Achtung Baby - U2 (1991)

After fostering a dour public image for years, U2 visibly loosened up on Achtung Baby, cracking jokes and even letting themselves be photographed in color. "It's a con, in a way," Bono admitted to Rolling Stone in 1992. "We call it Achtung Baby, grinning up our sleeves in all the photography. But it's probably the heaviest record we've ever made." Recorded in Berlin with Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, the album has lots of uncertainty, irony and distortion. It also has one of the most beautiful songs U2 ever recorded: "One," a ballad in which Bono wonders whether individuality also means eternal loneliness and comes down on the side of hope.

Total album sales: 5,328,000

Peak chart position: 1

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      NelsonG posted a topic in General News,

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
