I had no idea who U2 was, who Bono was, etc., and had no interest. I bought War on a whim basically around 1990 and then their entire catalog one by one. It was only with the lead up to Pop that I started to learn more about the band and (gasp!) actually started watching concert videos and so on. Really, it was just about the music for me and the other stuff was just superfluous. Oh, and U2 is and always will be my favorite band by far.

Joshua Tree made its original impact with fans and it colors their perceptions on everything else the band puts out...like it's scripture or something. Thumbs up to this review I think this is telling. Joshua Tree made its original impact with fans and it colors their perceptions on everything else the band puts out…like it’s scripture or something.

That may be one of the most honest points of view you may ever get. One without pretense.
