  • Great CD

    I was basically duplicating my LP collection of U2 albums that I own into CDs. So, it should be obvious that I like this CD enough to buy it all over again on CD. Personally, I have always felt U2 really "broke out" on their 3rd album, WAR. But the first two albums, Boy and October, both have some good songs on them too... And any true U2 fan needs these. I, personally, stopped enjoying U2 after the release of Zooropa. That was the last good U2 album, in my opinion. I owned POP for a while, but really hated the whole thing...eventually I took it to a used CD store to trade in...and they didn't even want it, because they already had several copies in stock. I honestly don't remember what I did with POP...probably just threw it in the trash. Boy has U2's first hit, "I Will Follow". This was the album where U2 (and the Edge) were still finding their sound, and their way, musically. Some of the other good tracks include "Out of Control" and "Shadows and Tall Trees". If you've never heard this album, but you like the middle period of U2... Albums such as The Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree, you will probably like this album a lot too. If you're more into the more recent stuff... Such as "Get On Your Boots", "Discotheque", "Vertigo", or anything from that awful iTunes disaster that they forced on all iPhone users (Songs of Innocence), then you might not like the songs on Boy. It sounds like a totally different band. That's not always a bad thing...as many bands change and evolve over time...but U2 has not evolved gracefully. Their newer stuff is no where near as good as their earlier and middle period stuff.
