In the image of the cover, the first thing you notice is the youth and spontaneity of this group came from Ireland with the exception of the English bassist Adam Clayton, proof if it is a beautiful open mind right in the Northern Ireland conflict. From the first notes, you let yourself take in a live rock, without concessions. The production is ensured by Steve Lillywhite will be their true mentor the time of the first three albums. Bass lines mixed very forward air guitars to great melodies (despite its somewhat "firefighter"). Bono's singing is pretty gross, sometimes awkward but deliciously spontaneous. It has on this album a much higher level than that it will adopt later and which propel them to the top. Some titles are slower to report ("Into the Heart," "The Ocean," "Shadows and Tall Trees"). Intros and song sometimes remind the group Cure the same period. Most songs are unknown to the general public who discovered U2 in the mid 80 '(or even later with "Achtung Baby") yet I can assure you they are worth their weight in gold especially the triad " I will follow, "" Twilight "and" The electric co. ". All rock fans and U2 must-have this album which, if not the best, has the merit of laying the foundations of what will become one of the most influential bands on the planet.
