From Amazon.co.uk
Having nearly exhausted their capacity for pop-song politics on War and The Unforgettable Fire, U2 turned toward themes of personal identity and complex relationships on The Joshua Tree. Not that the group was willing to come down off the barricades entirely: "Mothers of the Disappeared" and "Bullet the Blue Sky" turned a jaundiced eye toward Central America and the United States's role there. But the predominant mood here is one of self-discovery and the hunger for something more on tracks like the pulsating "Where the Streets Have No Name" and the gospel-ish "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". The album's masterstroke, however, is "With or Without You", a nasty love song dressed up as an ode of devotion and care. It ranks with the Police's "Every Breath You Take" as the most misread smash hit of the 1980s. --Daniel Durchholz

Chronique amazon.fr
Après les fantastiques Boy (1980) et War (1983), The Joshua Tree est, pour U2, l'album de la consécration, tant sur le plan créatif que commercial – d'emblée numéro 1, ce disque ouvre au groupe les portes du marché américain et les voit se pavaner en couverture de Time, un honneur que peu de pop stars ont connu. Lyrique, passionné, épique et animé par une foi inébranlable, The Joshua Tree demeure fidèle à ce qui fit le succès de U2. On ajoutera une bouleversante sincérité – tout au moins à l'époque – qui poussait le groupe à se pencher sur ses racines musicales (folk irlandaises), à abandonner les solis qu'affectionnait leur guitariste The Edge, pour des claviers plus typiquement 80's, à choisir des arrangements moins fouillés et plus spontanés que ceux élaborés par Steve Lillywhite sur les précédents opus, offrant à la voix de Bono (qui louche de plus en plus du côté de ses idoles Van Morrison et Al Green) l'écrin parfait et pas trop sophistiqué. Les fans du leader, toujours avides d'hymnes de la trempe de "Sunday Bloody Sunday", seront aux anges : outre quelques merveilles comme "One Tree Hill" et "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", Bono signe avec "With Or Without You" un de ses plus gros tubes, qui illumine un album empreint d'une mélancolie prégnante point désagréable, bien au contraire. --Hervé Comte
