SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:53 Min.
It’s the tenth track on U2’s seminal 1987 album, The Joshua Tree.
REVIEW:
The song starts off beautifully as an ode to the sea before inexplicably going silent for several long seconds. Finally returning in a whisper, “Exit” has Bono’s faint vocals slowly build towards a low-key yet pulsating melody. This intriguing rock tune, during the song’s second half, reverberates to life in a few spurts before fading out again. Perhaps U2 meant “Exit” as an experiment of sorts, but, for casual listening, this track isn’t close to satisfying.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 3½ Stars
