NotesLimited edition Japanese pressing. The final album of U2's early period, before the group broadened it's sonic palette and lyrical vision, War is a brilliantly conflicted album, sounding martial and majestic while it's very purpose is to tear down false idols propped up by politics. 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and '40' take the subject of Ireland's troubles head-on, while it's the subtext of 'New Year's Day', which is about a sundered love relationship symbolic of a greater division. "Torn in two, we can be one," Bono pleads, as Edge's guitar scratches and snarls behind him. Songs such as 'Two Hearts Beat as One' and the delicate 'Drowning Man' take a back seat here, but they help make War a compelling and well-rounded album. Island. 2005.
