Featured Rock Albums
1987
U2
– The Joshua Tree
The Joshua Tree is a widescreen, panoramic experience. U2 took everything that made them great in the early ‘80s and blew it up to mythic proportions. The sound is massive, the emotions are raw, and the stakes feel impossibly high. It’s a record obsessed with the contrast between grandeur and isolation, drenching every moment in a sense of longing..
