Capturing U2 between with all of their youthful exuberance and ambition without the burdens of expectation, 'Blood Red Sky' is transfixing and simply exciting: the humongous, soaring version of 'Gloria', widescreen roller-coaster 'Electric. Co' and the hot-blooded 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' are the hallmarks of a band still reaching for the summit, not filling time being there. Admittedly, the rest of the album is just good and you can see why 'Party Girl' remained a B-side.
