rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author noddy1 - NOTE: This is the fourth of my planned eleven U2 reviews. In 1983, U2 had gotten major notice with their groundbreaking War. It was angry, brooding and didn't refuse to take all the right shots. A year later, Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author seerup101 - OK, OK, I know, five stars? And why would I, an avowed synth-o-phile and guitar-o-phobe, review a U2 album in the first place? Have I lost it? Verdict's still out on that one, but stick with me, my story gets better. Read other fine reviews on...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lambchops - In the mid 1980’s, U2 was at the top of their game. Or so we thought. Three impressive albums (Boy, October, War) within four years put them atop the list of best artists of the decade. Nobody could have foreseen the success that U2 was about to...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jlr29 - For Christmas I recieved "The Unforgettable Fire". I had all but one of U2's post "Joshua Tree" albums at the time, and none of the albums previous to that famous grammy-winning masterpiece. On "The Unforgettable Fire", U2 still shows some of their New...

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 01:14:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MattA75 - As band's grow and mature, they usually reach some sort of turning point. The infamous "point of no return," at which point they make a conscious decision to change the music they are making, be it to make it more "socially conscious" or to make it...

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 06:12:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Slayer19 - When looking at the U2 catalog, one is tempted to bypass "The Unforgettable Fire". Sure, it contained the all-time classic "Pride (In the name of Love), but otherwise, it's considered a stepping stone between the breakthrough popularity...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author vein - First of all, I'd like to admit something. I am a goth/industrial girl who adores U2. *gasp* While it's rare you'll hear an admission such as that (although slightly higher of an instance than a goth listening to Britney Spears other than as a joke at a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author m001 - Sometimes a great album is defined by superior songs and songwriting; sometimes, the performance is the thing, and the album grooves on a phenomenal rhythm section or drives home on soaring guitars. And in other cases the album is defined by a...

Wed, 8 Mar 2000 12:33:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Guildenstern - Which is the best U2 cd? This question is impossible to answer, maybe "The Joshua Tree", maybe "Achtung Baby". U2 have been one of the most successful bands of the 80's and 90's, with almost every single release of the greatest...
