U2: the ranking of their best albums according to Louder magazine

On the occasion of the announced comeback of U2 with “Carnaval De Luz”, due out in November, the magazine Louder has dedicated an in-depth feature to the Irish band, ranking what it considers to be Bono and co.'s best albums. “U2,” Louder writes, “have always been one of the most divisive bands in rock history. To some they embody the most bombastic, grandiose face of stadium rock, dominated by Bono's larger-than-life personality; to others they're four school friends from Dublin who managed to turn spiritual, passionate songwriting into a universal language, reaching a huge audience without ever giving up their urge to reinvent themselves. It's precisely this restlessness, fuelled by a constant search for new sounds, that has allowed the band to move through very different eras, from the post-punk of their early days to the electronic experiments of the Nineties, right up to their return to the grand forms of arena rock. As Bono put it when talking about the band's future: 'The sound of the future is what interests us most. It doesn't exist yet. It's up to us to create it.'”
