All That You Can’t Leave Behind (Mastered for iTunes)
~ Release by U2 (see all versions of this release, 37 available)
Annotation
The band's tenth studio album, All That You Can't leave Behind was released on October 30th 2000 and following the less than overwhelming response to 1997's POP (and that was just from the band) it was instantly judged a triumphant return to form.
The band, said Bono, ahead of release, were 'reapplying for the job of best band in the world'. Going to No. 1 in 32 countries, eventually garnering 12 million sales and with widespread critical praise... they got the gig.
'U2's tenth studio album and third masterpiece,' judged Rolling Stone. 'All That You Can't Leave Behind, is all about the simple melding of craft and song.'
'Gone are the experimental ambitions and Big Ideas,' reported the NME. 'Back are the chiming guitars, the stratospheric synth and - best of all - the tunes. (It's) modern enough to sound new, but sufficiently evocative of their... Joshua Tree days to make it seem as though they have come full circle.... There is no fat on this record, the lines are clean. Its beauty is in subtlety rather than extravagance...'
Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno were again at the helm and, as usual, making the record wasn't always easy. 'It was tough at times.' recalled Larry. 'There were dark moments. We chose to record in Dublin so you have to go home, deal with that leak in your roof as well. Danny thought it was interfering with making the record.'
But the reception for the debut single Beautiful Day, backed with a memorable video shot at Charles de gaulle Airport in Paris, could not have been any warmer. It took three Grammy Awards in 2001 - a year later the album won four more, including Record of the Year for 'Walk On', won the previous year by 'Beautiful Day' - the first time a band had achieved this. A remix of another track, Elevation, featured on the soundtrack to the movie Lara Croft:Tomb Raider.
