Which U2 album Chills you out?

[gman]

Which album can you kick back and really relax to? October, UF, and JT all have that ability for me.......but UF espesh, totally chills me out, so much so, its not uncommon for me to fall asleep during Sort of Homecoming and wake at end of MLK.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

U2's not a chill out kinda band, but The Unforgettable Fire does the trick.

...its not uncommon for me to fall asleep during Sort of Homecoming and wake at end of MLK.

I'm not sure if I'd construe that as a compliment or not

I find Passengers very relaxing...

I disagree...their music is very relaxing to me. Perhaps its the familiarity.

yeah UF is definitely the most "chill out" of them all, but I can relax to any U2 album really. their music is soothing. a couple days ago I was listening to New Year's Day and Drowning Man and they helped calm me down. Mercy is another really, really good track to just float away with, so to speak. The thing about U2 albums is they all have their own distinct moods and atmospheres, so listening to one is like letting yourself travel to another place.

UF is like a dream state when I listen to it and Passengers bores me to death so thats another one for me.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Passengers and the MDH soundtrack chill me out.

 

[DevilsShoes]

The MDH soundtrack for me too. The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Never Let Me Go, Falling At Your Feet and Stateless are all pretty surreal tracks. Plus I love the violin version of The First Time.

 

[The Disciple]

^
Violin version? Is it sung by Bono?

 

[DevilsShoes]

No, no, purely instrumental, but very tranquil and quite moving.

 

[Swan269]

october for me is a good chill out album......

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

No, no, purely instrumental, but very tranquil and quite moving.

Are you talking about the reprise?

 

[LemonMelon]

Passengers/MDH

 

[JCOSTER]

The Joshua Tree

 

[Kiki]

I think I have to agree with October, Unforgettable Fire, and Joshua Tree.

Those are my favorites I suppose.

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't think any one album is a chill album. The closest you get I guess are UF and JT, but even they have really upbeat songs too that aren't as chilling. I might make a U2 Chills Out list.

 

[No spoken words]

UF in a landslide.

 

[Zooropean103]

The Best Of 80-90 2nd disc does the trick for me.

 

[Trinity3000]

The Joshua Tree

Do you get jolted awake when Bullet the Blue Sky comes on?

 

[phillyfan26]

Do you get jolted awake when Bullet the Blue Sky comes on?

Just like Wire must do in UF.

 

[dsmith2904]

October for sure.

Love the avatar, phillyfan26!

 

[Scorpionac]

I fell asleep the first time I ever listened to UF, so definitely that for me.
In God's Country also has that effect on me, virtually every time I listen to it. I don't know why. Then again, I honestly don't listen to it much.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

UF

 

[Notabene]

Certain songs from The Joshua Tree and from All That You Can't Leave Behind

 

[JCOSTER]

Do you get jolted awake when Bullet the Blue Sky comes on?

Yes, that did happen, but for my sleeping selection, I have omitted it.

 

[Zoots]

All Because Of You... especially the intro.


OR...


UF / Zooropa / Passengers

 

[JCOSTER]

^ I love Bonos scream in All Because of You.

^ I love Bonos scream in All Because of You.

Does it chill you out?


Do I HAVE to add that I was kidding about ABOY? lol

 

[WCF]

The Unforgettable Fire is a good chill out album, but I have to admit it always makes me sleepy. I'd have to go with October, Joshua Tree, Zooropa or All That You Can't Leave Behind, probably ATYLCB being my favorite, especially the second half.

 

[david]

UF was always a night/wintertime album to me. Probably has to do with Bono's lyrical imagery of forests and things.

 

[sue4u2]

UF and Zooropa for me. But I found if I listen while trying to fall asleep I think, I can't fall asleep now I want to hear The Unforgetable Fire or Promenade.
Lemon comes on and I'm turning it up - not exactly the thing to do when trying to sleep.
But October completely chills me out. Much like the month does.
