One of the biggest bands in the world, U2 recalls the process behind their album, ‘The Joshua Tree’. Everybody from Bono and Edge contribute to one of their biggest hit albums and I like the fact that the documentary goes into depth of why it became such a success. It was more than the fact that they had the ‘radio’ songs, it was songs that had meaning and songs that the band could play live and could easily fill concerts. That is all despite they were playing and filling out stadiums before they even sold the amount of records that they are selling today. I liked how bono describe it as an unusual album that it was a different from what was heard on the radio. Now all artists will say that about their material but it’s definitely interesting and I love it.
