Free Music Review: A classic U2 album, a must have !
Hit: 5 Stars
"Where the streets have no name", "I still haven't found what I am looking for", "With or without you", "Bullet the blue sky", "Running to stand still" and "Red hill Minign town"...wow ! One of the best from U2, if not the best !
The rest is quite good but the first six tracks are hitting right on target, greatly done !
Free Music Review: The Last Great British Album - RS 500 #26
Hit: 5 Stars
When this album was released in 1987, U2 was already one of the world's most popular bands, even though their previous album, 1984's "The Unforgettable Fire", had been coolly received by fans and critics alike. Their reputation remained high, though, with the tremendous "October" from 1982 and "War" from 1983 still fresh in fans' minds.
Nobody, however, really expected U2 to put it all together like this.
This album is sheer brilliance from top to bottom in every way. Young music fans should consider this an absolute essential in starting a collection, because it's one of the few real classics that carry a sound that still stands fresh today.
What is truly amazing to me about this album is that there are so many songs that can stand completely on their own - "Where the Streets Have No Name", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "With or Without You" were all major hits worldwide, and yet so many other songs - practically ALL of them - have become cover targets for other artists and have such striking individual relevance that it's hard to also believe how cohesively they fit together as an album. "Bullet the Blue Sky" follows an early synopsis of international terrorism, "Running to Stand Still" follows the descent of a heroin addict, and the rest of the album follows topic after relevant topic with "Red Hill Mining Town", "Trip Through Your Wires", "One Tree Hill" and "Exit".
In many ways, I've compared this album as the opposite bookend to the Beatles "Sergeant Pepper", framing 20 years of amazing music from the other side of the Atlantic. This is the greatest performance of all from the world's most significant musicians of the last 25 years.

This album is a piece of musical history and some say is U2's defining album. You'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard a track from it.
Recorded in an English mansion that Adam Clayton (Bass player) eventually bought and lives in.

This album is powerful, emotional, heartfelt, and America needs it more than Ireland does at this point. I Still Haven't Found is a great song, and a fun as heck Video.Free Music Review: Joshua Tree Rocks

The best album of all U2 has produced. Every song but one worth listening to over and over again.
