In The Name Of Love: Artists United For Africa
This album contains cover versions of U2 songs by Christian artists, including Audio Adrenaline, Delirious?, Jars Of Clay and Sixpence None The Richer. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the album goes to help fight the AIDS crisis in Africa.
Despite an awful first track, it's better than the previous tribute album, "We Will Follow." It's nice to see that even though U2 is not officially a Christian band, their music has been (and continues to be) inspiring. It's also notable that although songs spanning 20 years of their career are accounted for, the album appearing the most is "Achtung Baby" - originally criticized as a sell-out that refuted their past work and glorified sin over salvation.
