专辑介绍

《男孩》(英语:Boy)是爱尔兰摇滚乐团U2的首张专辑,1980年10月20日发行,由史提夫·李利怀特监制。《男孩》在发行后获得广泛好评,从此开启了U2的辉煌史。随着专辑热烈好评后,U2展开了生涯首场欧美巡回演出─Boy Tour,此后专辑的巡回演出也成了U2的惯例。2003年,专辑被《滚石杂志》获选为“音乐史上五百大专辑”第417名。

From the outset, U2 went for the big message -- every song on their debut album Boy sounds huge, with oceans of processed guitars cascading around Bono's impassioned wail. It was an inspired combination of large, stadium-rock beats and post-punk textures. Without the Edge's echoed, ringing guitar, U2 would have sounded like a traditional hard rock band, since the rhythm section and Bono treat each song as an anthem. Of course, that's the charm of Boy: all of its emotions are on the surface, delivered with optimistic, youthful self-belief, yet the unusual, distinctive guitar textures give it an unexpected tension that makes it an exhilarating debut. The songs may occasionally show some weakness -- the driving "I Will Follow," the dark "An Cat Dubh," and the shimmering "The Ocean" stand out among the sonic textures -- yet the band's musical and lyrical vision keep Boy compelling until the finish.
