Boy (Remastered) – U2View More By U2 Our ReviewU2’s 1980 debut album announced a band with a distinctive sonic tone and major ambitions. Guitarist Dave “The Edge” Evans had his basic chiming attack in place, the rhythm section of bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. was capable of tense, propulsive motion, and singer Paul “Bono” Hewson knew how to scale the castle walls, mountainside, and whatever romantic terrain he needed to in order to reach the soulful aspirations of youth. And producer Steve Lillywhite ensured the band’s vision got to tape. “I Will Follow” was an immediate anthem, but the tight frisson of “An Cat Dubh,” the driving attack that alternates with moments of pastoral reflection in “Out of Control,” and the carefully placed dramatic guitar notes that chase “Stories for Boys“ make this a more than impressive debut.. Customer ReviewsSolid Debut, but not amazing. (4 stars)Don't listen to this album expecting Achtung Baby or Joshua Tree. This album is good, don't get me wrong, but not even close to their best. Here's my song-by-song breakdown! 1) I Will Follow: 10/10 A very fun and addicting song that gets stuck in your head for hours! Takes prize as best song on Boy. 2) Twilight: 8/10 The lyrics are a little creepy, but still a great song. 3) An Cat Dubh: 9/10 Very mysterious and dark, almost sounds like some Stories of Boys (5 stars) A great album.

However, it IS their debut album, so you can't expect them to be magnificent on the first try. The Edge's guitar is elegant and energetic, and Bono's vocals and majestic and theatrical. One thing I've always liked about U2 is the acoustics on their albums, as well as the technical effects used in the backround. Good points and bad points: Good: *Unique guitar sol BiographyFormed: 1976 in Dublin, IrelandGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Through a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock & roll bands of the '80s. They were rock & roll crusaders during an era of synthesized pop and heavy metal, equally known for their sweeping sound as for their grandiose statements about politics and religion. The Edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars. Though the Edge's style wasn't conventional,...
