    JUST LIKE ALL U2 ALBUMS ARE UTTER RUBBISH, JUST LIKE PAUL THE BUILDER

  • Overall:

    Not good at all

    I am a huge fan of U2, but I just don't get this album one bit. People love it, but I just can't listen to it. I give it '2' instead of '1' simply because of the title track, with is worth the price of the CD.

    U2 sounded so confident and assured on their debut that perhaps it was inevitable they would stumble slightly on its followup, October. The record isn't weaker than its predecessor because it repeats the formula of Boy. It's because the band tries too hard to move forward. Bono, in particular, tries too hard to make big political, emotional, and religious statements, but the remainder of the band isn't innocent. In general, the music is too pompous, with the sound overwhelming the actual songs. But when U2 do marry the message, melody, and sound together, as on "Gloria," "I Threw a Brick Through a Window," and "I Fall Down," the results are thoroughly impressive.

The Edge provided the group with a signature sou... Read more
