This ambitious album reached number one in the US and UK charts and won a Grammy. U2 transcends the boundaries of rock and boldly updates the atmosphere of the 90s.
Released in 1993, this album reached number one on the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart, and won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album at the 36th Annual Grammy Awards. Produced by Flood, Brian Eno, and The Edge, it combines experimentalism and pop, and was born in the midst of a tour.
From the ominous, futuristic introduction of "Zooropa," you're immediately drawn in by the development that effortlessly transcends the traditional image of U2. The album's strength lies in the bold incorporation of programmed sounds and samples, while maintaining the strength of its melody. The euphoric feeling of "Lemon" and the timeless beauty of "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" give it the presence of a single hit, even though it was still experimental. The final track, "The Wanderer," features Johnny Cash, creating a beautiful structure that quietly tightens the album. As evidenced by its US and UK number one charts and Grammy win, this was one of U2's greatest turning points, achieving both challenge and success at the same time.
