Album Notes U2: Paul "Bono Vox" Hewson (vocals); Dave "The Edge" Evans (guitar, background vocals); Adam Clayton (bass); Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums).Recorded at Windmill Lane, Dublin, Ireland."An Cat Dubh" and "Into The Heart" are listed as one song.BOY announced the arrival of four young men from Dublin who would conquer the world in short order. Bono and company were barely out of their teens when they recorded their first album, and their youthful vigor lights up every track here. Full of ambition, driven by a politicized (though not yet explicitly so) sense of purpose, the songs give listeners an idea of what it's like to come of age in a strife-torn country and count on rock and roll as your means of transcendence.Bono's clear, strong voice rings out over the already-anthemic arrangements. Though none of the band members had yet developed much instrumental facility, their commitment and emotion are palpable in the simple-but-perfect parts they play. "I Will Follow" was BOY's calling card, unfolding with brashness and a sense of wonder as it chronicles the journey from boyhood to manhood, a trip the band had only just taken recently. BOY stands as an auspicious beginning to a long, successful career.

Top Reviews  U2 - Boy 30 of 32 people found this review helpful. I got into U2 during the mid 80's whilst still at school, and listening to this album brought back some memories. Boy was definately my favourite U2 album with some great tracks. A day without me, Twilight and The electric co. particularly being my favourite. These songs came from a time when they were making there way into the pop/rock world and show great creativity and passion. Review ID: 10000000003843245 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
