2008 digitally remastered vinyl LP pressing of the Irish wonders' debut album, originally released in 1980.
From the outset, U2 went for the big message -- every song on their debut album 'Boy' sounds huge, with oceans of processed guitars cascading around Bono's impassioned wail.
It was an inspired combination of large, stadium-rock beats and post-punk textures.
Without the Edge's echoed, ringing guitar, U2 would have sounded like a traditional hard rock band, since the rhythm section and Bono treat each song as an anthem. Of course, that's the charm of 'Boy': all of its emotions are on the surface, delivered with optimistic, youthful self-belief, yet the unusual, distinctive guitar textures give it an unexpected tension that makes it an exhilarating debut.
The songs may occasionally show some weakness -- the driving "I Will Follow," the dark "An Cat Dubh," and the shimmering "The Ocean" stand out among the sonic textures -- yet the band's musical and lyrical vision keep 'Boy' compelling until the finish.
