Angel in Devil's Shoes, Salvation in the Blues
When I first set out to review all of U2's albums, I honestly didn't realize how difficult it would be. I know I've said that in almost every U2 review thus far, but as I moved away from their techno-influenced 90's output into their 80's heyday of shimmering arena rock, I realized that I had hit...

U2 Can "Rattle and Hum"
Yeah, okay. I'm a bit partial to this album. But, think of it this way. Why would I do a review unless I had a strong opinion about an album? Well, "Rattle and Hum" released in 1988 is my absolute favorite U2 album hands down. I realize that there have been other albums that have gotten more... Read full review »
Shows diversity.
Until I borrowed this CD from a room-mate, I had never been a U2 fan. I had never given their music a chance as I always thought of them as being too commercial. Once I started listening to this CD, it became one of my favourites, and probably one of the most played CD?s in my collection.

Wide Awake in America, U2 Attempts to Rattle and Hum at the Same Time
It's the mid-1980's, you've been a critical darling your entire career, and you've just hit commercial paydirt. What is your next move? If you are Bruce Springsteen you follow it up with a career spanning 5 record live album. If you are U2 you do something more ambitious. You go on tour, film it... Read full review »
The Pride and the Power of U2
"All I've got is a red guitar, three chords, and the truth," Bono sings. On another occasion, the U2 frontman said, "There's so much power in that E chord going through an amplifier. The sound is just...red." That spirit guides "Rattle and Hum" more than any other U2 album. It should be know that I... Read full review »
Raw or Polished? That's the question...
The Story
An almost desert road, round midnight. Me and a colleague, returning home with the van after what we call a remote job, 70 mile ride. The drone of the engine, Jimi's "Red House" and a tasty-tricky-cigarette :) for company. The cassette tape rolls out and the player stops -...

Like a preacher stealing hearts at a travelling show
This 72-minute album was actually the first U2 album I owned, simply because it was at the used CD store. For some reason (and I blame my parents, as all good children should) I didn't know U2 until about 1996-97. Then I started hanging out with a group of friends who worshiped Bono and the Boys,...

Not old enough for Blues too young for Electronica
U2 had continuously tried to embrace the roots of deep America when the Grunge tide brought a noticeable Americana influence from an alternative standpoint to Pop culture. U2 played "ambient" Rock with 1984 Unforgettable Fire and brought post-Punk to the desert netherworlds of 1987's Joshua Tree... Read full review »
Is this You Too, U2?
I was a teenager of the 80s and I heard plenty of U2. My friend had extra appreciation for them because she believed that, in spite of being in the Rock genre, they were a Christian band. Most people would at least give them that they are a humanitarian band, especially Bono - the lead... Read full review »
Pick this up....if you're not short on cash.
Whatever critics say about Pop, Rattle and Hum was U2's most panned album, regarded as egotistical, assuming, and just plain bad in most circles. It was U2's response to those who said they were too serious, and it didn't go over very well. The half live/half new studio tracks concept didn't prove... Read full review »
