Absolutely not! Tomorrow, Rejoice, Fire, I Threw a Brick, and I Fall Down are all great songs. IMO the second half of the album is not as good, but it is definitely worth getting.
The whole album is fantastic! Absolute brilliance. People are better off NEVER asking if they should listen to October here because the album then falls victim to a load of crap like 'it's the worst album' and the person who asked ends up having a warped opinion of such a good record and avoids it until he's listened to the rest of their albums, some of which are CRAP compared to October.
on october, bono sings more passionately than on any other album, which is reason enough to enjoy it. his delivery may lack the intricacies of later albums, but his energy is amazing.
