Free Music Notes for Boy
Free Music Review: One of the most underrated albums
Hit: 5 Stars
No need to go into detail about "Boy." "Into The Heart," "An Cat Dubah," "Stories For Boys," "I Will Follow," "The Electric Co.," "Out Of Control..." are all timeless classics and propelled U2 into their universal acceptance and popularity.
You never see it mentioned in Rolling Stone or Billboard these days, or talked about as an influence by popular or indie musicians, which is too bad. Before U2 finally laid an "Atomic Bomb," next to the Stones, they have the longest running legacy in rock music, and this album is where it all started.
Boy Poster
There's little in U2's 1980 debut to suggest that this was a band bent on world domination. Indeed, there's a charming, if naive, coming-of-age urgency in songs such as "I Will Follow," "Stories for Boys" and "Out of Control" that may startle listeners more familiar with U2's latter-day bombast and stadium-scale theatrics. Bono's viewpoint, still tantalizingly vague and wide-eyed, showed that his penchant for strident polemics hadn't yet gotten the best of him; his anthems are those of a yearning Dubliner barely out of his teens rather than those of a world-weary multimillionaire. The band's sometimes-ragged musical chops work in its favor here, gently burnished to then-fresh new-wave sheen by producer Steve Lillywhite. If the Edge's dense, effects-laden guitar work seems overly familiar, it's only because this album was such a key influence on the whole "rock of the '80s" sound. Though not quite as moody or musically accomplished as October, arguably the band's first masterpiece, Boy still ranks as one of U2's best albums. --Jerry McCulleyU2's First Album, Only with Different Cover Art.
