Recorded at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin, Ireland. The Joshua Tree won the 1987 Grammy award for album of the year. After their arresting appearance at Live Aid, U2 album sales went berserk across the globe, and the world waited impatiently for their next release. The Joshua Tree arrived, and fans were not disappointed. There are few weaknesses, musical or lyrical, in this album. The pure power of the music and patent honesty of the lyrics steer the band clear of whimsy and self-indulgence. The anguish and questioning is shot through with faith as they chant and stomp and batter their way through instant classics such as 'Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For', 'Where The Streets Have No Name' and 'With Or Without You', leaving the listener bruised but elated.

the only thing that inspires me a little respect form that record is the awesome production of Brian Eno, he made U2, but one of my favorite producers, german Conny Plank, rejected the proyect, he couldnt stand Bono diva poses, so he handled the proyect to his friend Eno...
