Which Album Is the Crotch of U2?

According to Joe, editorializing on the Achtung Baby reboot over at eMu:
If Joshua Tree was the soul, then this is the crotch

I'm don't have the U2 knowledge to comment further on this, but I suppose "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" would be like the left elbow.

    Pop! is the suspicious mole below the right shoulder?

    No Line on the Horizon is the tapeworm U2 mistakenly ingested from some poorly cooked haggis.

    I agree with Joe on Achtung Baby. It's in consideration for my favorite U2 album.

    War is the lungs.

    Rattle and Hum is the uvula.

    (And, as an aside, I did a quick search on uvula for correct spelling and found out some people actually pierce theirs. From Wikipedia: "Massaging the uvula causes the gag reflex to initiate and expel stomach contents. This is often an issue for people who plan to get uvula piercings." Often an issue - you think?)

    I don't have any idea what to say to that. What exactly is the benefit of a pierced uvula? It can neither be seen nor used in....um....relationship matters.

    I'm utterly perplexed.

    Following on from Craig's comment, I will leave it to your imagination as to the body part for The Unforgetable Fire!!

    Boy is the adolescent attempt at a moustache.

    (I'm always intrigued by the various retrospective comments one finds in U2 reviews. For instance, I've read a few times that Joshua Tree was epochal and Rattle and Hum was a disappointment - my ears hear that the other way around; not that into Joshua Tree, but Rattle and Hum was what got me interested.)

    I just feel like this thread needs some input from somebody with one of these:

    Interesting GP, for me it was the other way around. I saw them, on TV, at Live Aid and then bought Unforgetable Fire, but my favourite U2 album of the late 80s was certainly Joshua Tree. I also bought Rattle and Hum but that was the last U2 LP I bought, until I got one of their greatest hits CDs as a present some years later.

    According to Discographies on Twitter, U2's discography goes like this, noting that Achtung Baby was studio album #7 (or album #8 if you include Under a Blood Red Sky):

    U2: 1-2 "Nice guy..."; 3-6 "...but what a windbag!"; 7-8 "He babbled about art..."; 9 "...danced badly..."; 10-12 "...and repeated himself."

    ...which seems fairly accurate to me. For the record, The Joshua Tree (#5) was the album that convinced me to stop buying all the U2 albums that came after it.

    I'm an unapologetic U2 fan. I even like How to Dismantle..., but Discographies on Twitter nailed it. Like they usually do.
