Listening to mine right now, it packs a hell of a punch. The rhythm section is a snarling beast. -
Edited one year agoI've had patchy luck with the early U2 pressings. However, this one sounds excellent. Love it.
It is also interesting to hear Edge as he is finding his guitar style. His playing on this record pre-dates his signature dotted quarter delay effect we all know. He plays much more conventionally on this first record.
