U2 : The Joshua Tree
Sealed 12" Vinyl Album : Island Records 1987 #7-90581-1 Stereo

After U2's high profile appearance at Live Aid, the Irish quartet holed up at a Dublin studio with engineers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and crafted the definitive sound of late '80s mainstream rock. Eno's ambient flourishes, and the band's newfound interest in American roots music, The Joshua Tree is U2's crowning moment, a perfect nexus of the band's expansive muse and the popular zeitgeist. It consistently ranks in the higher reaches of critics' lists of the greatest albums of all time. Thanks to both Eno's georgeous production and a stellar set of songs, the album has aged stunningly. The first three tracks, the rousing "Where the Streets Have No Name," the gospel-inflected "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," and the tortured, echo-drenched ballad "With or Without You", have all become FM standards, but cuts such as "Red Hill Mining Town," "Running to Stand Still," and "In God's Country," with grittier Americana influences, resonate just as emphatically. The rhythm section's propulsive minimalism (Larry Mullen, Jr. and Adam Clayton) provides the perfect bedrock for the Edge's veritable clinic on guitar effects and economy. Like the best U2, however, the album belongs to Bono, whose soulful voice hitches an epic passion to lyrics both deeply personal and overtly political. U2: Bono (vocals, harmonica); The Edge (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Adam Clayton (bass); Larry Mullen Jr. (drums). Additional personnel includes: Daniel Lanois (guitar, keyboards, tambourine, background vocals); Brian Eno (keyboards, programming, background vocals). Recorded at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin, Ireland. (web review)
