Baggariddim, not to be confused with the EP Little Baggariddim released in the US, is the sixth album by UB40, released in 1985. Most of the tracks are reworkings of previous UB40 recordings that originally appeared on Labour of Love and Geffery Morgan, here showcasing guest singers and "toasters" on vocals. Guest artists included Chrissie Hynde, the leader of The Pretenders, and Douglas Gilbert, lead trombonist with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO). In the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, this album was released in a gatefold sleeve containing an additional 3-track 12" EP. The album features two hits, "I Got You Babe"—a duet with Hynde that reached number one in the UK, Ireland and Australia—and the UK number-three follow-up "Don't Break My Heart", which was the 'B-side' of "I Got You Babe" ("Theme from Labour of Love") with vocals added.

War is the third studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Steve Lillywhite, and was released on 28 February 1983 on Island Records. The album is regarded as U2's first overtly political album, in part because of songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day", as well as the title, which stems from the band's perception of the world at the time; lead vocalist Bono stated that "war seemed to be the motif for 1982."

The Best of 1990–2000 is the second greatest hits album by Irish rock band U2. It was released on 5 November 2002 through Island Records, except in the United States where the album was released on the Interscope label as a single-disc CD compilation. The Best of 1990–2000 & B-Sides was released on the same day with a second disc featuring 14 of the B-sides released between 1990 and 2000 and a bonus DVD with a trailer for the album and three other segments. A video album of the same name was later released in December 2002.

Rattle and Hum is a hybrid live/studio album by Irish rock band U2, and a companion rockumentary film directed by Phil Joanou. The album was produced by Jimmy Iovine and was released on 10 October 1988, while the film was distributed by Paramount Pictures and was released on 27 October 1988. Following the breakthrough success of the band's previous studio album, The Joshua Tree, the Rattle and Hum project captures their continued experiences with American roots music on the Joshua Tree Tour, further incorporating elements of blues rock, folk rock, and gospel music into their sound. A collection of new studio tracks, live performances, and cover songs, the project includes recordings at Sun Studios in Memphis and collaborations with Bob Dylan, B.B. King, and Harlem's New Voices of Freedom gospel choir.

Pop is the ninth studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Flood, Howie B, and Steve Osborne, and was released on 3 March 1997 on Island Records. The album was a continuation of the band's 1990s musical reinvention, as they incorporated alternative rock, techno, dance, and electronica influences into their sound. Pop employed a variety of production techniques that were relatively new to U2, including sampling, loops, programmed drum machines, and sequencing.

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is the eleventh studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was released on 22 November 2004 in the United Kingdom by Island Records and a day later in the United States by Interscope Records. Much like their previous album All That You Can't Leave Behind (2000), the record exhibits a more mainstream rock sound after the band experimented with alternative rock and dance music in the 1990s. It was produced by Steve Lillywhite, with additional production from Chris Thomas, Jacknife Lee, Nellee Hooper, Flood, Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, and Carl Glanville.

All That You Can't Leave Behind is the tenth studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, and was released on 30 October 2000 through Island Records and Interscope Records. Following the mixed reception to their 1997 album, Pop, All That You Can't Leave Behind represented a return to a more mainstream sound for the band after they experimented with alternative rock and dance music in the 1990s. At the time of the album's release, U2 said on several occasions that they were "reapplying for the job ... [of] the best band in the world". U2 brought back Eno and Lanois, who had produced three of the band's previous albums. The album was originally named "U2000", which had been a working title for their PopMart Tour.

Achtung Baby is the seventh studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 18 November 1991 on Island Records. Stung by criticism of their 1988 release Rattle and Hum, U2 shifted their musical direction to incorporate influences from alternative rock, industrial music, and electronic dance music into their sound. Thematically, Achtung Baby is darker, more introspective, and at times more flippant than their previous work. The album and the subsequent multimedia-intensive Zoo TV Tour were central to the group's 1990s reinvention, by which they abandoned their earnest public image for a more lighthearted and self-deprecating one.

Третий альбом шведов. Вот уж не ожидал, что после занудного дебюта “Frailty” и мелодичного шедевра “Source” они выдадут такое! Это сорокаминутный кусок безбашенного драйва! На сей раз парни добавили в свой мелодик-дэт элементы трэша, и результат превзошёл все ожидания. Нет смысла сравнивать прошлые альбомы с этим, ибо это совершенно разные вещи. О былой мелодичности напоминают лишь “The Shallow End” и “Shoot It In”. Остальное – очень энергичный дэт-трэш с очень небольшой, хоть и узнаваемой, мелодичностью. Да, видать, переход с маленького греческого лейбла "Black Lotus Records" на всемирно известный немецкий "Nuclear Blast Records" всё-таки повлиял на ребят.

К тому времени был готов материал для очередного альбома, "The Crowning Carnage". Запись проходила в шведской Abyss Studios, с Tommy Tagtgren в роли звукорежиссера. 9 песен записаны за 2 недели, мастеринг сделан в Англии, на Turna Audio. В марте 2002 года альбом издан.В начале 2003 года группа рассталась с вокалистом Isidor. Новым фронтменом стал Nicke Holstenson (из death metal группы Nominon).

Nordstjarnans Tidsalder начинается с мрачного интро, которое прекрасно демонстрирует стиль группы - мелодичный black metal. И уже на этом этапе обнаруживается удивительное мастерство, с которым ребята сочетают мелодику ледяных мелодий. "Nordanblod" - ещё один пример грамотного использования возможностей группы. Это одна из самых медленных песен, с некоторым количеством двойных басов. Гитара дрожит, бас держит основную линию звучания, а ударные колеблются между взрывным и среднетемповым напором.

Из стилей, которые закинуты в мясорубку под названием "Khaooos & Kon-Fus-Ion", можно выделить следующие: Progressive, Death, Doom, Black, Ambient, Jazz, Grind, Art Rock и другие. Но если быть максимально точным в оценках, самым правильным определением стилистики альбома является Progressive Death Metal.
Состав участников группы: Derelict (Robert Karlsson) - вокал; Mourning (Robert Ivarsson) - гитары; Aag (Dag Swanö) - гитары, орган, саксофон; Dan Swanö - бас-гитара, клавишные; Winter (Benny Larsson) - ударные. Самое примечательное, что состав группы не менялся с момента ее создания и до самого распада. Ну а братья Swanö в связке - это просто какой-то взрывоопасный коктейль.

Звук сирены и атональный хор из темноты за мостом, вкрадчивый голос, внезапно столь убеждённый и настойчивый, и металлические нотки в его безжизненном звучании, и пророчества вовсе не яркого, но неизведанного, и гимн-прелюдия – тихая прелюдия перед эпопеей, "The Principle". Когда грохочет, ты уже готов, и вспышки-стоны кажутся знакомыми. Грех, но вливаешься. Вот он, бальзам на душу тем, чья испещрена бороздками гнева, несвежими пятнами печалей и булавными (булавка или булава) проколами отречения! Manatark ему имя, и кто мог подумать, что из Эстонии придёт нечто подобное?

После целого десятилетия музыкальной карьеры, за которое английский рок-органист Манфред Манн (настоящее имя – Майкл Любовиц, родом из ЮАР) выпустил с десяток альбомов как под своим псевдонимом, так и в составе группы Chapter Three, он решил собрать новую команду и назвал ее «Земная группа Манфреда Манна».
