Today is the first day of October

[topplehatU2]

You know what that means?

Time to sit back and relax to one of U2's most underrated albums, and one of my favorites.

The trees here are not stripped bare.

Since we have a lot of evergreens, they won't be bare anytime soon, either.

662, brooks79Z, Bruz, DC40s, GreG708MaltS, ImissMy64oz, John Holmes, LMSCRacer, Loomis462, Sam the Angry Jew, satan165, Shwaz, Vile Fiend, White Mike

Is it bad that I hope that balcony guard broke after the picture was taken?

 

[chels82]

But anyway, October has been in my top three U2 albums for the past few years. I love so many songs on it but "Rejoice" is simply amazing.

October

No disrespect to the OP with the jokes, because I totally agree. October rocks!

 

[gman]

October is the only u2 album i have a special day for

 

[Zoots]

The bass and drumming are fantastic on this album!

With A Shout

 

[gman]

Any album with songs like tomorrow and ITABTAW deserve to be listened to. I feel sorry for those who cant appreciate the album. Im wondering if all the love for this album is only from people who were about at the time?

I don't think so cos I had no freaking idea who U2 were in 1982. lol.

 

[gman]

Bang goes the theory then

I think i would be right in saying tho.....................that those like yourself Zoots, who have some love for October, but werent about at the time, are probably in the minority.

 

[Zoots]

Wow! For the first time ever, this album is not hitting me like it always does. Just listened to it in it's entirety. I enjoyed it but for some strange reason was very very aware of it's weaknesses. This is the remastered CD and I was listening to it for the first time, despite having it for at least 6 months or so.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Really good album, but I'm not a fan of 'Fire' at all!


'With A Shout', ITABTAW and 'I Fall Down' on the other hand . . .

Why are you making fun of these guys? It doesn't seem very nice. Have you never dressed like a douche in your life?

I'm one of them too. It's not my favourite but I do love it. Tomorrow is in my top 10 favourite U2 songs.

 

[Diane L]

October is my favorite of U2's first three albums. The title song will be going through my head ALL MONTH...

 

[alanah]

 

[OrARoundabout]

One of my fav "random Bono interjections" is off of Tomorrow:

In the middle of Edges guitar solo...
"JESUS COMING!"

 

[topplehatU2]

How come nobody has mentioned Rejoice?

 

[djerdap]

Better than Boy. Boy doesn't have tunes as amazing as Tomorrow or even Rejoice, which has one of the biggest and most rocking endings in U2's catalogue. With a Shout, despite being a bit cheesy, is pure energy. October is a beautiful little number. Great, great record only ruined by the quite crappy closing trio of songs.

 

[digitize]

I love listening to October in cool weather... the problem is, it's pushing 90 here still, so it feels weird to do that now. I did listen to it all the way through last week when we had our first real cool front of the year, and I'll do the same at the next opportunity.

I know I'm a dork for timing my listening of U2 albums with the weather.

ahem...

but anyway, october has been in my top three u2 albums for the past few years. I love so many songs on it but "rejoice" is simply amazing.
