This album is very particular, since it had the participation of the great musician Bryan Eno, which is evident in the music (the synthesizers are played by him). Its packaging is also really unique, due to its marked abstract aesthetics. An allegory to the European flag is presented on its cover, and when opening its songbook, we see that the trend continues, with diverse and strange graphic compositions, which can even be disturbing.
I never really knew about this album tbh, as even though I am Irish, I would not be a huge U2 fan, I have been to a concert of theres and it was amazing and they certainly have lots of great material.
Numb is a song I do remember, but have not seen the video in a long while, and cool to see Edge front and centre for a change instead of Bono, and the video is fun. He does well to keep a straight face with those feet coming in for him!!
I must take the time to listen to this album some day, as I love an album so much more than a greatest hits when all the songs are taken out of context.
