## Description

Product description U2: Rattle and hum; Helter skelter; Van diemen's land; Desire; Hawkmoon 269; All along the watchtower; I still haven't found what i'm looking for; Freedom for my people; Silver and gold; Pride (in the name of love); Angel of Harlem; Love rescue me; When love comes to town; Heartland; God part II; The star spangled banner; Bullet the blue sky; All i want is you - EAN 770707148076 desertcart.co.uk The ill will that initially greeted Rattle and Hum--the follow-up to the band's massively successful Joshua Tree album--was due in large part to the bloated and self-important feature film that accompanied it, which showed the band as being simultaneously naive and pretentious as it "discovered" America. But as the film mercifully slips from memory, the music has remained, from the furious swirl of "Desire" and a clutch of live hits to insightful musical nods to heroes such as Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Billie Holiday. Songs like "When Love Comes to Town", a supercharged blues duet with B.B. King, suggests the quartet knew more about America from listening to its music than Phil Joanou's unintentional mockumentary suggested. --Daniel Durchholz

Review: Fantastic Selection of Roots Rock - Rattle and Hum is a bit unlike any of U2's other work, but in my opinion it's easily their best. Though dismissed by many at the time as being pretentious, it's a solid fusion of live and studio tracks; covers and renditions of songs from The Joshua Tree - to create a kind of 'journey' that tips into the likes of roots, rock, blues and gospel. Bono's voice is groundbreakingly powerful; and the little speeches he gives on the live tracks give a cynical, hard edge to the whole album. In terms of original songs, 'Desire' and 'Hawkmoon 269' are so, so, so standout. Particularly the latter, which builds like nothing before. 'Angel of Harlem' is a feelgood anthem, 'Love Rescue Me' is a phenomonal bit of melancholy, and 'When Love Comes To Town' packs such a playful beat. The album's closer, 'All I Want Is You' is just hauntingly beautiful. A real worthy climax. 'God Part II', however, remains my favourite of U2's entire cannon. Superb - Adam Clayton shines on bass. Also to look out for is the band's live performance of Hendrix's 'All Along the Watchtower', as well as the gospel-ified 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' and 'Silver and Gold'. A really great album, and great to have on physical disc. 17 tracks for a great price, and the CD itself has some great stuff in the little booklet. Definitely recommend.
Review: ONE OF THE GREAT U2 ALBUMS AS FRESH AS THE TIME IT WAS RECORDED ! - It would be hard to not like this truly classic U2 album, made for a film, but it finds the band in absolutely awesome form .I had the original on 12" but now remastered on CD its all come alive a again .I must admit I was drawn to the album by the track with B B King, it still sends shivers, and even then I hoped they would do a whole album together. This though with many of their own songs ,a few perfect covers, shows just why U2 remain one of the greatest and most creative bands on the planet. A huge album by one huge band !
