Opening with the ominous, fiery protest of "Sunday Bloody Sunday," War immediately announces itself as U2's most focused and hardest-rocking album to date. Blowing away the fuzzy, sonic indulgences of October with propulsive, martial rhythms and shards of guitar, War bristles with anger, despair, and above all, passion. Previously, Bono's attempts at messages came across as grandstanding, but his vision becomes remarkably clear on this record, as his anthems ("New Year's Day," "40," "Seconds") are balanced by effective, surprisingly emotional love songs ("Two Hearts Beat as One"), which are just as desperate and pleading as his protests. He performs the difficult task of making the universal sound personal, and the band helps him out by bringing the songs crashing home with muscular, forceful performances that reveal their varied, expressive textures upon repeated listens. U2 always aimed at greatness, but War was the first time they achieved it.

U2的第7張專輯【Achtung Baby】在1990年10月於德國柏林的Hansa Studio錄音室展開錄製，樂團從當時的東、西德統一時局中汲取創作靈感，團員在創作之初發生樂團走向的爭論，直到完成"One"這首歌曲之後，創作靈感才湧現，在1991年初轉往愛爾蘭都柏林的Windmill Lane錄音室完成錄製。專輯由U2長期合作夥伴Daniel Lanois、Brian Eno與Steve Lillywhite共同擔綱製作，專輯勇奪美國、加拿大、法國、荷蘭、澳洲等國排行冠軍，挺進英國流行專輯金榜亞軍，全球累積銷售超過1800萬張，連推"The Fly"[冠軍]、"Mysterious Ways"[#13]、"One"[#7]、"Even Better Than The Real Thing"[#8]、"Who`s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"[#14]等5首打進英國流行金榜前20名的暢銷單曲，其中的"Mysterious Ways"與"One"雙雙蟬連全美主流搖滾榜與現代搖滾榜的冠軍，同時晉升全美流行單曲榜TOP10，而"One"也在滾石雜誌2010年版的「史上最偉大500首歌曲名單」中名列第36名。專輯同時收錄德國名導文溫德斯的電影「直到世界末日」主題曲"Until The End Of The World"。U2以【Achtung Baby】專輯跟隨後運用多媒體視聽互動技術規劃的「Zoo TV Tour」重新改造過往平實與自我解嘲的形象。

No Need to Argue is the second studio album by Irish rock band The Cranberries, released in 1994. It was the band's most successful album, and has sold about 17 million copies worldwide. It contains the band's most successful single to date, "Zombie". The album's mood is darker than that on Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?. It shows a more mature performance by lyricist and vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, writing about war, death, love and disappointment. Her voice is clearer, without the previous album's double and triple voice layering. In some of the songs, the band decided to take on a rockier and heavier side, using distortion and increasing the volume. The song "Yeat's Grave" [sic] is about William Butler Yeats, and quotes one of his poems, No Second Troy. The hit song "Zombie", written by lead singer Dolores O'Riordan, is according to her about the IRA bombings in 1993 that resulted in the death of two children.
