Obviously, the first three songs are absolute classics... Running to Stand Still is another great one...But I've always felt there were some real weak tunes (especially on the second half like Trip, Red Hill, Exit). As a whole, I think HTDAAB is much stronger as an entire album than JT...Or am I just on crack...
I agree, it's one of the most beautiful tracks, very haunting and touching, perfect closing track. And no I don't think the album is overrated. It's one of the albums that absolutely defined the 80s and for a reason. I just don't think all of U2 later work should be measured by JT, because the album just fittet its particular time perfectly. For me, what really makes it a classic and gives it this special atmosphere is everything beginning with track 4.Bones58 said:I can't believe the indifference for Mothers of the Disappeared IMO it is the most beautiful song U2 have done musically and lyrically.
Is Joshua Tree overated?

BUT . . . I can see how you can argue that it was a different era. Babe Ruth was great, but he played against some chumps, too.
On one hand, they only had to be better than the Dave Clark Five. On the other hand, fucking "Yesterday," you know.
