The Joshua Tree

(1/6) > >>

Durin:
So I was listening to "The Four Chord Song" by Axis of Awesome which features a snippet of the U2 song "With or Without You". This led to me downloading The Joshua Tree. I began listening to it. This led me to this thread where I will say, "Hey this is kind of good." I mean U2 is actually good. They have a bad rep among people my age and even I thought they kind of sucked based off of my limited sampling. But older people seem to really dig them, or at least my dad did, and he was a man whose musical opinion I always respected. And I can definitely see why people liked U2 with this album.

So I guess my point is: what gives?

Zingoleb:
After a few albums of the same fucking thing you start to get the point and go "Okay that's enough."

BeoPuppy:
U2 was okay ... riiight up to The Joshua Tree. After that ... meh, not so much.

Damnable Fiend:
Didn't they have one album that was supposed to sound kind of different, because they were angry about relationship problems at the time?

edit: sorry, I can't remember the name though, and wikipedia's not helping me.

David_Dovey:
Basically every  record they produced in the 90s was a marked departure from the sound they were known for, and are known for now.
