The Joshua Tree
:Album Details:Same as USA Version. essential recording: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 ...

Also included are two brand-new tracks recorded with producer Rick Rubin at Abbey Road Studios in London: 'The Saints Are Coming' (with Green Day) and 'Window in the Skies.' :Whittling down the back catalog of one of the most popular and respected bands of the last quarter-century to a single-disc collection is bound to inspire argument and dissent from the fans and faithful over what is included--and all that gets left ...

The Best of 1980-1990
: :One need hear only the first notes of this collection--the Edge's ringing guitar notes ushering in 'Pride (In the Name of Love)'-to be taken back to 1984: Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher rule the Western world, the L.A. Olympics is the top sports story, and Ms. Pac-Man reigns at arcades. In rock & roll, there's U2 growing in stature with each new title. Even doubters of the Irish lads have to concede that together they formed the one '80s band with the skill and sense of ...

Achtung Baby
:Album Details:Same as USA Version. essential recording:'I'm ready / Ready for what's next,' Bono announces at the outset of Achtung Baby, the album that proved the so-called 'band of the '80s' was capable of blazing into the '90s by replacing its flag-waving arena-rock stance with screaming synths, clubby rhythms, and industrial skronk. The group advances its sound without losing accessibility on 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses,' 'Even Better Than the Real Thing,' and 'Mysterious Ways,' while pushing the envelope a bit more on 'The ...

All That You Can't Leave Behind
: 's Best of 2000:The foursome come roaring out of the blocks with their latest collection. The album's first single, 'Beautiful Day,' raced to the No. 1 slot on the U.K. singles charts and received a similar rapturous reception stateside. From its shimmering preamble to its sweeping, infectious chorus, it perfectly stakes out the middle ground between the anthemic U2 of the '80s and the more grounded group of the '90s. With Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno sharing production chores again after having taken a break with ...

Rattle and Hum
:Album Description:Limited edition double LP vinyl pressing of U2's soundtrack to their documentary of the same name. **Please note that this vinyl pressing features 'For Promotional Use Only' printed on the artwork. 2007 :The ill will that initially greeted Rattle and Hum--the follow-up to the band's massively successful Joshua Tree album--was due in large part to the bloated and self-important feature film that accompanied it, which showed the band as being simultaneously naive and pretentious as it 'discovered' America. But as the film mercifully slips from ...

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
: :The album that carries U2 into its 25th year--and likely the mixed blessings of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame--is one of its most frank and focused since the days of October and War. But its gestation was anything but simple, in part salvaged from '03 sessions the band deemed subpar. Enter Steve Lillywhite, the band's original producer and sometime collaborator in the decades since, who helped retool the track 'Native Son' (originally an antigun screed) into the aggressive iPod anthem 'Vertigo' and leaves his ...
