The Joshua Tree
“The Joshua Tree has been U2’s most popular album since about ten minutes after it was released. The 1987 smash was the culmination of their American phase, between their florid, young-European phase and their grizzled, mature-European phase. The album’s huge commercial success whisked the lads from superstardom to megastardom, and they spent the next decade […]”
Songs of Innocence
“No other rock band does rebirth like U2. No other band – certainly of U2's duration, commercial success and creative achievement – believes it needs rebirth more and so often. But even by the standards of transformation on 1987's The Joshua Tree and 1991's Achtung! Baby, Songs of Innocence – U2's first studio album in five years – is a triumph of dynamic, focused renaissance: 11 tracks of straight”
Achtung Baby (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
“At the dawn of the 1990s, most of the biggest bands in the world – Def Leppard, INXS, Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe, Poison – marched blindly into the new decade, releasing a watereddown retread of their last album. Not U2. Abandoning the stadium-size sincerity of LPs like The Joshua Tree, they went to Berlin, drew […]”
No Line On the Horizon (Bonus Track Version)
“"I was born to sing for you/I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up," Bono declares early on this album, in a song called "Magnificent." He does it in an oddly low register, a heated hush just above the shimmer of the Edge’s guitar and the iron-horse roll of bassist Adam Clayton and […]”
Achtung Baby (20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
“Achtung Baby is rightly known as one of rock's greatest reinventions because it was so complete. And just as the 1991 album both fulfilled and upended rock'n'roll myths, this coffee-table-book sized, 6xCD, 4xDVD set both props up Achtung and pokes a few holes in it.”
The Unforgettable Fire (Deluxe Edition)
“U2's first collaboration with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois comes across as a transitional album of the highest magnitude.”
