  • "The Unforgettable Fire" has a rich, symphonic sound built from ambient instrumentation, a driving rhythm, and a lyrical "sketch". (en)
  • "Sunday Bloody Sunday" features a martial drumbeat, raw guitar, and lyrically, a bleak emotionally charged response to violence. (en)
  • "The Fly" features hip-hop beats, distorted vocals, and a hard industrial edge that differed from U2's typical sound. (en)
  • "Vertigo", which the Edge described as "visceral rock 'n' roll", became a hit worldwide and was used in a cross-promotion with Apple. (en)

  • We couldn't believe it. I was completely shocked. We weren't of an age to go out partying as such but I don't think anyone slept that night ... Really, it was just a great affirmation to win that competition, even though I've no idea how good we were or what the competition was really like. But to win at that point was incredibly important for morale and everyone's belief in the whole project. (en)
  • Buzzwords on this record were trashy, throwaway, dark, sexy, and industrial and earnest, polite, sweet, righteous, rockist and linear . It was good if a song took you on a journey or made you think your hifi was broken, bad if it reminded you of recording studios or U2 ... (en)
  • The wild beauty, cultural richness, spiritual vacancy and ferocious violence of America are explored to compelling effect in virtually every aspect of The Joshua Tree—in the title and the cover art, the blues and country borrowings evident in the music ... Indeed, Bono says that 'dismantling the mythology of America' is an important part of The Joshua Trees artistic objective. (en)
