History

Reuniting the band with the production duo of Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno—who also produced The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby albums—the album was seen as a return to the band's traditional sound after their more experimental records of the 1990s. In many ways, however, this is an oversimplification, as the album breaks new ground by retaining the sonic nuances of their 1990s work and reconciling it with the melodic, hook-filled rock of their 1980s work. The first song (and lead single), "Beautiful Day," for instance, is an optimistic anthem that opens with a drum machine and a rhythm sequencer. The album also includes "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of," a song written by Bono for his friend Michael Hutchence, who committed suicide in 1997.

Album release & promotion

Following the comparatively poor reception of their previous album Pop, U2 declared on a number of occasions that they were "re-applying for the job ... of best band in the world." ^[2] Promotional activities included a number of U2 firsts such as appearances on MTV's Total Request Live, USA Network's Farm Club, and Saturday Night Live. The band kicked off the release of the album by performing a short concert for about 600 people at the the ManRay club in Paris, France, on October 19, 2000, as part of the promotion for the October 30th release of the album.^[3] Pop is an album released by the Irish rock band U2 in March of 1997 (see 1997 in music). ...

Critical reception

The album met wide acclaim from critics and the public, debuting at #1 in 28 countries (but only reaching #3 in the United States).

All That You Can't Leave Behind became the fourth highest-selling U2 album, with total sales of over 12 million. This article is about the magazine. ...

Cover art

The photographs used for the album cover and interior art were taken by Anton Corbijn in the Roissy Hall 2F of the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France. Portions of the music video for "Beautiful Day" were also filmed there. There is a subtle reference to a biblical passage on the cover with slight doctoring to "J33-3->" on the departure notices. Bono has confirmed^{[citation needed]} that it is a reference to Chapter 33, verse 3 of Jeremiah: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things which you have not known."
