The Joshua Tree [SEP] Critical reception
"The Joshua Tree" received critical acclaim, and the best reviews of U2's career to that point. Steve Pond of "Rolling Stone" wrote, "For a band that's always specialized in inspirational, larger-than-life gestures—a band utterly determined to be Important—"The Joshua Tree" could be the big one, and that's precisely what it sounds like." The review described the album's sound as "wed[ding] the diverse textures of "The Unforgettable Fire" to fully formed songs, many of them as aggressive as the hits on "War"". Steve Morse of "The Boston Globe" echoed these sentiments in his review, stating, "It's another spiritual progress report, enwrapped in music that strikes a healthy balance between the lushness of their last album, 1984's "The Unforgettable Fire", and the more volcanic rock of their early years." Morse called it "their most challenging work to date" and the "most rewarding rock record of the new year".
