SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:32 Min.
It’s the fourth track off U2’s seminal 1987 album, The Joshua Tree.
REVIEW:
This moody rock tune is overshadowed by the album’s three classic tracks: “Where the Streets Have No Name;” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For;” and “With or Without You.” In comparison with some of U2’s best work ever, “Bullet the Blue Sky” benefits from a pulsating melody that reverberates Bono’s somewhat mumbling vocals. The overall effect is impressive, especially the instrumentals. Though purchasing the complete Joshua Tree album makes better sense, this thoughtful song is definitely a viable option for 80’s rock playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7½ Stars
