4.0 out of 5 stars Inside The Joshua Tree, May 21 2001
1987's The Joshua Tree was U2's breakout album. They had been a big success in Europe, but in America, they were somewhat popular, but not superstars. Up to that point, they had never had a top ten album or single. That all changed when The Joshua Tree was released. The album was an instant smash, spent a staggering 9 weeks at number one and spawned two number one singles, "With Or Without You" & "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". They became the biggest band in the world and rock and roll icons. This book deals with the creative process of the recording of this seminal release. You get some good insights into the thought process behind the album. The one drawback is the book's size. It comes in a cd jewel case and is the size of a cd booklet. It doesn't feel like you are actually reading a book. Other than that, if you love The Joshua Tree, then you should check this book out.

5.0 out of 5 stars U2 en Colombia, Nov 14 1998
By A Customer
U2 es un grupo que mueve masas a traves del mundo entero, aúncuando en países como Colombia si bien es conocido por sus éxitos With or without you, I still haven`t found what I`m looking for y Where the streets have no name, no deja de ser simplemente eso: El grupo de pop creador de esas canciones. Pero mas allá de esas canciones, U2 es un lider político que quizás sin darse cuenta ha influenciado con su música muchos movimientos europeos de tinte socio-polìtico , sobre todo en regiones en conflicto como Irlanda del sur. Es indiscutible que el disco que consagró a U2 como el mejor grupo de pop- rock, fué The Joshua Tree, pero han pasado ya 9 años desde su grabación, y los trabajos posteriores reflejan el crecimiento mental y espiritual del grupo así como su sentir frente al desarrollo de la humanidad en estos años. Es por ello que U2 será siempre un grupo de vanguardia en los mensajes que trasmite, así como en su estilo musical, aún cuando conserve siempre su clásica guitarra y moderado bajo.
