Music reviews of The Joshua Tree
Music Review: U2 at their zenith
Rating: 5 Stars
The Joshua Tree is one of the best albums U2 has ever made. Bono's voice was at it's finest, deep and passionate. The music, utterly ethereal (as on Streets and With or Without You), or hard-hitting and angry, as on Bullet the Blue Sky and Exit.
The remaster definetly does the album justice. There is a book, five picture post cards (which I have framed), plus all the B-sides from the time period and a never-before-released concert DVD from Paris, July 4th, 1987. Also on the DVD are two unreleased music videos, one of Red Hill Mining Town; the other an alternate version of With or Without You. The DVD also includes a funny documentary of U2 and their travels across southwestern America.
If you are a U2 fan, and in particular love the Joshua Tree, get this remaster right away. It is well worth the money.
Description of The Joshua Tree
The 3 disc box-set format contains The Joshua Tree CD, the bonus audio CD, and a Bonus DVD. This package also includes a 56 page hardback embossed book, featuring previously unseen Anton Corbijn photos, handwritten lyrics by Bono and liner notes by Bill Flanagan, Bono, Adam Clayton, Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Anton Corbijn, Steve Averill, David Batstone, Ren? Castro and a special essay by The Edge.Content for the Bonus DVD: U2 Live from Paris - filmed at the Hippodrome de Vincennes in Paris, on July 4 1987, on the European leg of The Joshua Tree tour.
Having nearly exhausted their capacity for pop-song politics on War and The Unforgettable Fire, U2 turned toward themes of personal identity and complex relationships on The Joshua Tree. Not that the group was willing to come down off the barricades entirely: "Mothers of the Disappeared" and "Bullet the Blue Sky" turned a jaundiced eye toward Central America and the United States' role there. But the predominant mood here is one of self-discovery and the hunger for something more on tracks like the pulsating "Where the Streets Have No Name" and the gospel-ish "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." The album's masterstroke, however, is "With or Without You," a nasty love song dressed up as an ode of devotion and care. It ranks with the Police's "Every Breath You Take" as the most misread smash hit of the '80s. --Daniel Durchholz
U2's most successful album (their first No. 1 album and the 1987 Grammy award-winner for Album of the Year) is also their most dour. From the stark, black and white cover photography, with U2 looking like missionaries (or at least M*A*S*H extras), to the existential angst at the heart of each track, The Joshua Tree is one long, atmospheric wail at the abyss. Producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois turn in an austere production that heightens the drama substantially. --Rob O'Connor
