I think "Rejoice" is one of the most overlooked songs.

[topplehatU2]

I also think October is the most overlooked album (and my second favorite in general). But the song Rejoice in particular has everything, even a drum solo of sorts. That combined with some great lyrics and guitar work make it one of my favorite U2 songs.

Rejoice is one of my favourite U2 songs too. The music in it is fantastic.

 

[Dorian Gray]

oddly enough, i think it's Edge's least favourite u2 song. or maybe it's With a Shout

 

[Hoodlem]

YES!

Finally some recognition for this great song. Shines live as well.

I like both of those songs. Edge has no taste!

 

[djerdap]

The climax is amazing, really rockin'.
Edge has stated that he never wants to hear With a Shout again.

Edge has stated that he never wants to hear With a Shout again.

Just for that, I'm going to make a loop of "JERUSALEM WOAH WOAH!" and take it with me to the next venue U2 plays at. Then I'm going to blare it on repeat when Edge comes out to sign things. There's nothing wrong with With A Shout!

 

[topplehatU2]

I have been living a lie, I had no idea that "With a Shout" said "Jerusalem." I thought it was something like "the room's on fire."

Go figure.

Always loved it.

October is really a fascinating record in all its slightly out-of-focus feeling.

I've been listening to Rejoice all week! It's the reason October has always been one of my top favorite U2 albums. I love playing that one loud in my car

October is one of my favorite albums too! And I love Rejoice!

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I love this thread Rejoice is a fantastically fun song. I love the franticness of it, and the lyrics too. Now With A Shout.. is a different flavour altogether, sure, the beginning of it makes me want to dance the twist, and there's some strange charm to baby Bono shouting "JEEEEEEEH ROOOOO SAAAAAAAH LUUUUUUUM", but it's not one of my favourites from October.

 

[Zoots]

Rejoice sounds like the whole band is on fire! One of my favorite songs from the early years!

 

[maro_chik]

I like both of those songs. Edge has no taste!

I these songs too. Awesome drumming by Larry, and guitar parts that are especially fun to play. Not to mention Bono's vocal energy.

 

[martha]

I will also join in the Rejoice and October love party.

 

[sulawesigirl4]

I love this song. So drummy! Go Larry, go! I think my favorite part is when the song builds and builds and then Bono just lets loose (around 2:43).

Oh yeah, and one of my fav Bono quotes (in my sig) comes from this song.

Definately one of the stronger tracks from October. It is early U2 at the naive best. Naive both musically and lyrically. But thats what is great about their early work. They didn't spend years in the studio deconstructing ideas and musical arrangements to death.

Edge has stated that he never wants to hear With a Shout again.

He said that it is way, way, way over the top. Sort of beyond the pale even for them as over the top as they often are.

Tooooooooootally. This is one of the few songs on October I like, and that's my favorite part.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Best part about Rejoice is the intro! Edge on fire. It was especially good live.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Yes, October love

 

[An Cat Gav]

I love October too!
rejoice is beautiful!

October rocks
I was so sad after reading the October article in wikipedia

 

[Alisaura]

:October

I played this CD for a month non-stop in my car, took a break for R&H, now October is back again. I love the whole album, and Rejoice is a fantastic track. I especially love the ending, where the whole band sounds on fire, Edge is cuttin' loose at the lower end of his fretboard (I love it when he does that), it sounds exactly like what it says, rejoicing. Love it.

Try reading any of their interviews in Hot Press, they've put compilations out which are great reading and very indepth.
