U2's most successful album (their first No. 1 album and the 1987 Grammy award-winner for Album of the Year) is also their most dour. From the stark, black and white cover photography, with U2 looking like missionaries (or at least M*A*S*H extras), to the existential angst at the heart of each track, The Joshua Tree is one long, atmospheric wail at the abyss. Producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois turn in an austere production that heightens the drama substantially. --Rob O'Connor

Why I Got into U2

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

Joshua Tree is a great album, no bad songs on this one, and for me a big reason I became a huge fan of U2.
I believe this represents the era in the band's career that most resonates with me, a time of great excitement with their musical inroads.

This was a good buy; better to be a late alert fan than never!

Talk about a late arrival (me as a U2 fan). I am a very recent "alert" U2 fan thanks to seeing Bono's most fabulous Surrender book memoir tour in person; then watching tons of concert videos and interviews, getting Songs of Surrender CDs (a work of art in their own right) and finally getting this CD set! I have of course heard many of these originals on the radio in the past but was not clued in to details. Now I am. So I'm late to the party but glad to be here. I am very happy to have this CD set, and also am reaffirmed in the unique value that Songs of Surrender also has, for certain moods.

March 9th, 1987 ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2008

Verified Purchase

To say that this was probably a red-letter day in the history of music ... is an understatement.

When this first album came out, I missed it completely. I just wasn't listening to anything this mainstream at the time and was caught up in the beginning of absorbing myself with classical music. I was young once and couldn't possibly be that hip to catch everything on the early adoption tip. I view this album probably as important as Beethoven's Missa Solemnis , as that may be what they were going for, or Vivaldi's Stabat Mater . These albums are all equally important and affected both music ever after and the listeners as well.

To date, April 2008, The Joshua Tree has several different releases now.

The Original Studio Release - c. 1989
The Superbit `Gold CD' Release - c. 1990
The Remastered Release - c. 2007

Amazon also has a combined 460 reviews on this product now and while most of the populous enjoy this, a contingent of listeners don't feel that this measures up to be one of the great rock albums of all time.

While I do feel that this is one of the best albums of the last 100 years, easily, it is not a Rock album, per se. I know that may sound deviant to you, but it's very simply explained.

The bulk of the songs on this album are ballads. You may not want to hear that, but it's the truth. Some may just be realizing this for the first time, and it's okay, too. While I have no problem with ballads, being big fan of Beethoven and Chopin, masters of just such a thing, I wouldn't dare call Moonlight Sonata (Sonata Quasi una Fantasia) Rock Music at any time. Ballads are just that, they're ballads. They're beautiful and they typically speak on the subject of love, loss, frustration or isolation. That's not a rigid rule, but just a personal observation.

1. 'Where the Streets have no name' - Ballad. A song about feelings of isolation and love.
2. 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' - Ballad. Another song about the feelings concerning isolation, loss and love.
3. 'With or Without You' - Ballad. Another song about the feelings concerning isolation, loss and love.
4. 'Bullet The Blue Sky' - Rock Song Primo. A song about political discord, military might, poverty, etc.
5. 'Running To Stand Still' - Ballad. A song about isolation
6. 'Red Hill Mining Town' - Ballad. A song FULL of double entendres about sex, love and frustration.
7. 'In God's Country' - A Bluesy Ballad. A song about a girl ...
8. 'Trip Through Your Wires' - Rock Song.
9. 'One Tree Hill' - A bluesy ballad. A song a bout a girl, and emotions of love.
10. 'Exit' - A unclassifiable song about frustration, danger and isolation
11. 'Mothers Of The Disappeared' - Your guess is as good as mine on this one.

So ... what's the score here? The ballads heavily outweigh the Rock anthems. While this isn't necessarily an indictment on this album it's just an opinion placed casting light on seeing this album in the proper context. U2 has been branded passion rock since this album came out, and it's probably fitting to say the least, but they are one of the best RnR bands on the planet. People should just see this release for what it is. If one day, the bulk of us decided to start referring to Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales as Rock or even Hard Rock and not Easy Listening, then more of his listeners would be displeased by that as well.

The Joshua Tree is a groundbreaking album where a lot of U2 fans split off after this, unhappily. But over the years they gained even more fans with the releases after Joshua Tree, myself included. But it is a masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Sonic improvement, but worth the price?

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2007

Verified Purchase

Note: this is a review of the MFSL Gold CD version of The Joshua Tree.

Since many other reviewers have amply debated the artistic merits of this album (the phrase, "beating a dead horse," comes to mind), I'll direct my review solely to those people considering purchasing the MFSL version, who might be wondering if it offers any sonic improvement over the standard CD version of the album, and, if so, if those improvements are worth the price of purchase.

There is no question that the sound on this MFSL release is an improvement over that on the Island Records CD, still featuring the original 1987 mastering, done when the album was first released. However, the improvements on the MFSL disc are subtle. The most noticeable difference between the two discs upon first listen is the difference in volume; the MFSL disc is decidedly louder. I decided to rip a few tracks from both CDs into waveform and then compare them in a wave editor to see just how much louder the MFSL disc is. The MFSL's signal gain is roughly 50% greater than that of the original CD. If one were to compare the two discs without compensating for the difference in volume, that difference would contribute to the perception of improved sound quality in the Gold version. This perception is not entirely inaccurate, however; the signal-to-noise ratio on the original version is lower, and by increasing the volume of the original version to match that of the Gold version, one is also increasing the base noise level. There is noticeably less background noise on the Gold version, even when played at higher volume levels. This helps present a cleaner sound picture. That aside, once I compensated for the volume difference, I really had to focus closely to hear the differences in sound between the two discs. The MFSL disc has consistently cleaner, more focused, more dynamic sound than the original, and generally sounds like a higher quality mastering, but those differences presented themselves to my ears only upon close listening on good equipment. In many "real world" listening situations, the differences will be subtle, to say the least, and quite possibly unnoticeable.

The MFSL mastering does not improve the basic quality of the recording or the mix, which is still dense with atmospherics and highly ambient. Reviewers who complain about the sound quality of the original disc and blame it on old mastering techniques may have missed the mark: U2 specifically asked engineer Flood for this kind of sound (as he explained in the "making of" DVD), and as such, I suspect a lot of what is considered poor mastering is actually intrinsic to the original recording. The MFSL version does not alter that. It just presents a slightly cleaner, more accurate version of a rather murky soundscape.

So, is it worth getting? Cost and availability notwithstanding, this is definitely the better CD version of the album to have. However, those expecting miraculous improvements might find themselves disappointed. The diminishing returns theory applies here: you will spend a lot for incrementally slight improvements. Moreover, Island Records can't hold out forever; one of these days, they'll likely issue a remastered version of The Joshua Tree, one which most likely will improve on MFSL's nearly two-decades old mastering, for a much lower purchase price. Until that time comes, the MFSL version is the best one out, but given the cost, I suspect only collectors or those whose ears are extremely particular would find it to be a worthy investment.

A must have album

This Review is for the LP (vinyl).
The Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary, what a great reissue. Very well packaged in a thick bi-fold cover, together with graphical inner sleeves and a multi page booklet. Two 180gm vinyl LP's are in separate poly lined plain sleeves.
When played it is dynamic with good depth and stereo imaging, very clean with no surface noise. A classic U2 album, which I can't stop playing. If you are a U2 fan and an LP lover, this re-issue is highly recommended.
