Rolling Stone: Achtung Baby

Jam: All That You Can't Leave Behind

Rolling Stone: All That You Can't Leave Behind

Awesome80s.com: Boy
Jerry McCulley's review: 'Though not quite as moody or musically accomplished as October, arguably the band's first masterpiece, Boy still ranks as one of U2's best albums.' |
Prindle Record Reviews: Boy
Mark Prindle's review: 'This isn't radio-ready overproduced rock - it's rough-around-the-edges art rock in the vein of early Public Image Limited (with more emphasis on guitar) - a darned fine attempt to combine the amateurish feel of punk with the emotio |
Rolling Stone: Boy
Debra Rae Cohen's review: 'U2 is talented, charming and potentially (they're all still under twenty-one) exceptional. But as a new Next Big Thing, they're only the next best thing to something really new.' 4 out of 5 stars. |

Stankygroove.com: The Joshua Tree
Alan Haworth's review: 'it coalesced the ideas that had come to be during the former part of the decade, but still had room to grow and look to the future, politically, socially, and most importantly, musically.' |
Prindle Record Reviews: October
Mark Prindle's review: 'In short, not a bad album at all. But not up to the standards of early U2, if you ask me.' Rating: 7/10. |
Rolling Stone: October
Jon Pareles' review: 'U2 are obviously attempting to vary their sound, but none of the strategies works as well yet as their basic power-trio dynamics.' 3 out of 5 stars. |
Jam: Pop
John Sakamoto's review: 'Far from an exercise in daring self-indulgence, Pop is too often guilty of a much more serious offence: not going far enough.' |
Nude as the News: Pop
Tyson Wheatley's review: 'while Pop is not necessarily a trailblazer, the group has once again left the mainstream far behind.' |
The Onion A.V. Club: Pop
Stephen Thompson's review: 'despite all the anticipation, and despite all of Pop's fussy idiosynchracies, the album itself shouldn't disappoint anyone who isn't expecting a full-blown music revolution.' |
Rolling Stone: Pop
'Pop is simply an album of great pop.' 4 out of 5 stars. |
Salon.com: Pop

Rolling Stone: Under A Blood Red Sky
Christopher Connelly's review: 'this eight-song minialbum, culled from their last tour, gives ample evidence why people have been calling U2 the best live band of 1983.' 4 out of 5 stars. |
Rolling Stone: The Unforgettable Fire
Kurt Loder's review: 'seems to drone on and on, an endless flurry of chinkety guitar scratchings, state-of-the-art sound processing and the most mundane sort of lyrical imagery (barbed wire is a big concept).' 3 out of 5 stars. |
Prindle Record Reviews: War
Mark Prindle's review: 'a really good early-'80s album that finally let the world in on the fact that U2 were a force to be reckoned with.' Rating: 8/10. |
Rolling Stone: War
