It was “attention-grabbing,” he said, “it referenced Germany where the album began, and [it] hinted at either romance or childbirth, both of which were on our minds.” Snider, Eric (29 November 1991).

For the photoshoots in Berlin and Tenerife, the band were photographed with brightly painted Trabants, East German automobiles that became a symbol of the fall of Communism and for which the band had developed an affection. [103] [104] Street artist Thierry Noir was commissioned to provide the artwork and painted the vehicles in Hansa Studios' parking lot; he became involved through a fellow collaborator of the band's, film director Wim Wenders. [105] Images of the band with the Trabants appear on the sleeve and throughout the album booklet. These vehicles were later incorporated into the Zoo TV Tour set design as part of the lighting system. [104] [106]

Winter 1992–1993.Achtung Baby was U2's first album in three years and their first comprising entirely new material in over four years. [20] The group maintained a low profile after the record's release, avoiding interviews and allowing critics and the public to make their own assessments. [19] Instead of participating in an article with Rolling Stone magazine, U2 asked Eno to write one for them. [38] The marketing plan for the album focused on retail and press promotions. In addition to television and radio advertisements being produced, posters featuring the sleeve's 16images were distributed to record stores and through alternative newspapers in major cities. Compared to the large hype of other 1991 year-end releases, the marketing for Achtung Baby was relatively understated, as Island general manager Andy Allen explained: "U2 will not come out with that kind of fanfare in terms of outside media. We feel the fan base itself creates that kind of excitement." [124] Kavanagh, Mark (16 August 2001). "Better Than the Real Thing?". Hot Press. Archived from the original on 18 August 2011 .

It contains references to Germany and The Producers; it’s a warning for the future (of a newly unified Europe and, by extension, the world); and it’s ever so slightly cheeky, too, which is in line with the band’s desire to break from its past.

[39] In contrast to U2's previous records, whose lyrics were politically and socially charged, Achtung Baby is more personal and introspective, examining love, sexuality, spirituality, faith, and betrayal. [77] [78] [79] The lyrics are darker in tone, describing troubled personal relationships and exuding feelings of confusion, loneliness, and inadequacy. [6] [80] [81] Lyrics were inspired by the dissolution of the Edge's marriage, as well as that of another of Bono's friends. [82] During the album's recording, the Edge separated from his wife (the mother of three of his children), and the pain he felt resulted in him dedicating himself to the record and advocating for more personal themes. [3] [18] [83] Bono found inspiration from his own personal life, citing the births of his two daughters in 1989 and 1991 as major influences. [16] This is reflected in "Zoo Station", which opens the album as a statement of intent with lyrics suggesting new anticipations and appetites. [41] [63] This is actually the second edition of Achtung! Cthulhu to hit the shelves, with the biggest change coming in the form of a shift towards Modiphius’ own 2d20 system. This switch to a more action-oriented system is a much better fit for the game than its Call of Cthulhu and Savage Worlds-based predecessors, and allows it to truly forge its own identity.
