Free Music Review: A Desert Rose....
Hit: 5 Stars
It was the spring on 2002, I was on my way to Las Vegas on a bus driving through the desert. My dad had lent me his "Joshua Tree" CD. The only other album I had heard by U2 was "Achtung Baby" which was very hard for me to like at the time. As I sat on the bus we passed by hundreds of Joshua Trees twisting and stretching towards the clear desert sky. Ever since this album brings back memories of the desert and my first real introduction to what would become my favorite plant, The Joshua Tree.
Upon first listen this album almost sounds dead and disjointed beyond "With or Without You" because a lot of the tracks are low-key or just have a really old kind of dry feeling to them. It seems what U2 did (for me at least) was able to take Biblical themes of water and dryness with the metaphor of a desert and put it in an album. The album IS the desert.
Beyond the first three tracks of the album "God's Country" feels like a road trip in the desert. "Running to Stand Still" feels like a slow motion picture of the desert and "Trip Through Your Wires" and "One Tree Hill" continue that momentum.
To me the desert and U2 are one in this album, so all almost all of the tracks bring back pictures of the cracked and dried ground of the desert floor or the blistering hot sun. Thematically, I would call this U2's best album, it is almost a concept album and it succeeds in painting a glorious vision of a life dead and dry like the desert springing back to life in the midst of adversity, much like desert plants such as the Joshua Tree can even survive.
My advice; buy this album now and take a road trip through the mojave desert, you will not be sorry.
God Bless & *enjoy* ~Amy
Free Music Review: Ah, yes
Hit: 5 Stars
I know it's clichéd. I know the band has gone on record that they are somewhat mortified by this whole era of their career. I know it became a limiting factor for them in being able to branch out in other sounds and projects in the industry (or so they thought)... But the truth is it's a fantastic CD. It's in my all time top 3, and ever shall be. This CD defined the collective consciousness of the musical industry for a decade, catalyzing an audience unprecedented for any other new 80s band, setting a standard no other act has followed.Free Music Review: U2 should buy this
Hit: 5 Stars
The Joshua Tree by U2 is an awesome album. Not a lame song on here and a whole bunch of excellent ones. Here they are:
Where the Streets Have No Name
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
With or Without You
Bullet the Blue Sky
In God's Country - a fantastic song, too bad it's short
Trip Through Your Wires
Mothers of the Disappeared
