October was definitely a grower for me. I got October around the time of the Rattle and Hum era, I already had all the other LPs but couldn?t find that one. I must say it did sound weird from the first listening, although I loved Tomorrow and Gloria from the very beginning. Then I found and studied the lyrics of the songs (I need printed lyrics to understand the songs completely) and everything changed and I got hooked. My faves, besides Gloria and Tomorrow are Scarlet, Rejoice and October.

"To me a rock and roll concert is 3-D, it?s a physical thing - it?s rhythm for the body. It?s a mental thing in that it should be intellectually challenging. But it?s also a spiritual thing, because it?s a community, it?s people agreeing on something, even if it?s only for an hour and a half." (Bono, as quoted in the book U2 The Road to Pop)
