Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  Very Mellow, but Very good.Posted: 9/17/2006A review of The Unforgettable Fire by Anonymous A very mellow album, U2 sounds almost like theyre dreaming in the Unforgettable Fire, with the sole exception of Pride (in the name of love). Bonos haunting voice, and the Edges relentless echoey guitar make this album memorable. Not U2s best at all, but many of their memorable hits were birthed in this album. Among the noteable tracks are the aformentioned Pride, Bad (the other shining point of the album), and the title track, all gone down in U2 history as some of their best. Was this review helpful?

Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful a poetic masterpiecePosted: 12/24/2005A review of The Unforgettable Fire by azdesertboy1 I have every u2 album ever made and this one is the most underrated, intimate, subtle yet profound of them all. Dont get me wrong, I love the more popular Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby and even the newer recordings, but this album is all heart and will pleasantly haunt you like no other. Its experimental in nature yet cohesive enough in vision to feel like a uniquely-woven tapestry of both earthy and bold colors. A SORT OF HOMECOMING is U2 opening with a song that embodies the entire album, a perfect mixture of textured ambiance and cohesive structure that touches new places. UNFORGETTABLE FIRE is equally compelling and gorgeous, with unique explosions of sound and feeling. 4TH OF JULY is an instrumental that will take you to an otherworldy place, yet somehow very terrestrial and comforting. BAD achieves a shimmering emotional crescendo rarely achieved in music and transcends you to a place that is indescribably beautiful and chilling. I strongly disagree with the official review that ELVIS PRESLEY AND AMERICA is embarrassing. This highly original song just drips with pure, raw emotion like a Pablo Neruda poem. Bono was trying to capture the last period of Elviss life when he would perform on stage drugged-up, overweight and sad, but still emanating a shining spirit. MLK is also like a bright light, illuminated in a dark room. A powerful and ethereal homage to a great soul in this world. Overall, a remarkable, brooding yet ultimatley inspiring recording possessing an amazing life-force full of all the joy and sorrow of being fully alive. Was this review helpful?

It has the classics such as Pride and Bad but it also has lesser known gems such as the title track and Chris Martin's favourite song A Sort of Homecoming. If you manage to get past the one dud on this album, namely Bono's terrible attempt at poetry "Elvis Presley and America" you'll hear probably U2's most moving track, MLK. Like Pride, it's a eulogy to Martin Luther King but much more haunting. Never fails to stir up my miniscule teapot of emotions. If I was to take away one track, it would have to be Bad, which Bono wrote about Dublin's desperate heroin problem in the 1980's. It's brilliant because it doesn't just have to be about addiction. It can be about anything that you want to let go but can't. It can also be about wanting to do something but not having the guts to do it. Whenever I find myself in this situation, I think of Bad.

This album flows so well it hard not to consider it as a classic U2 album. If you haven't heard it yet, check it out! It's worth it! Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-6 of 6 Per Page |
