Our Take

U2's "Boy" gets the remaster treatment, and let me tell you, it's like putting a fresh coat of paint on an already pretty dirty wall. The Irish band's debut album from 1980 has been given a shiny new sheen, but does it really make a difference?

Well, yes and no. The remastered edition does bring out some of the finer details in the music, giving the album a bit more depth and clarity. Bono's vocals soar even higher, if that's even possible, and The Edge's guitar riffs sound crisper than ever. But at the end of the day, it's still the same ol' U2 that we know and tolerate.

Tracks like "I Will Follow" and "An Cat Dubh" still pack a punch, with their catchy hooks and earnest lyrics. But there's a certain earnestness to U2's music that can sometimes feel a bit...well, cheesy. And no amount of remastering can change that.

Overall, "Boy" is a solid album that showcases U2's early potential. But if you're not already a die-hard fan, this remastered edition might not win you over. So put on your leather jacket, pop in the cassette, and let the nostalgia wash over you. It's a trip down memory lane that's worth taking, even if just for a laugh.
