Achtung Baby
Irish quartet's transformation
Achtung Baby is the seventh studio album by the Irish rock band U2, released in 1991.
The title combines the German word for "attention" or "warning" with an affectionate term, capturing the album's spirit of reinvention.
It marked a dramatic shift from the band's earnest 1980s sound toward darker, more ironic European electronic rock: Achtung Baby changed everything for U2.
