War
Date undefinedThis is one of U2's best albums. Almost every song is great and 3 were hit singles, including Sunday, Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day and Two Hearts. New Year's Day has become a radio staple classic and is still fresh 20-something years later. I bought this cd for the remastering and I wasn't disappointed, the remastering is excellent. This is my 5th favorite U2 cd in the following order.
1 Achtung Baby
2 All That You Can't Leave Behind
3 How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
4 Pop
5 War
Sorry folks but I'm not a huge fan of the Joshua Tree although that would come in 6th. For those of you that have never listened to War, you are in for a pleasant surprise. It was one of their most MOR(Middle of the Road) albums and it features their trademark anti-war protest lyrics. Very accessible, original music. One of the classic cd's of the 80's New Wave movement and a huge influence on other bands at the time.

Date undefinedWhen it comes to a band like U2, it's always hard to say which period is "classic U2". Well I feel the War album was the last of the raw, new wave, earthy, rock sound that is very melodic and completed with the Edge's unique guitar style. You can really hear Adam and Larry contributing for sure. It has a much different sound than Boy and October, but it also stands in it's own catagory. New Years Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, and Surrender are my favorites but then again I love the whole album....This is a cd to complete your U2 collection for sure!

Date undefinedWithout a doubt this is one of the best albums of the Irish band U2.
The sound is greater than ever.
It's like getting back to basics of rock and roll and still sounds new.
The artwork it's fantastic.
Seat on your favorite place, grab a good drink, enjoy the artwork and listen to one of the best albums of all time.
Cheers from Mexico City.
