Though it's probably one of their least-acclaimed albums, OCTOBER is where it all began to come together for U2. The youthful exuberance they demonstrated on BOY was now a given, but for this, their second album, the conceptual end of things began to coalesce as well. The Edge had begun to expand his sonic palette, and the effects-heavy guitar approach that he would rely on for the next several years came to full fruition here. There's further development of the bold, anthemic approach that would come to characterize the band's arrangements, and the songwriting is just plain better. Most affecting, and indicative of the group's progress is the emotional epic "Gloria;" full of resounding major chords and throbbing rhythms, it's simultaneously an open admission of self-doubt and a call to arms to embrace life's uncertainties. This contrast is what makes OCTOBER, along with much of U2's early work, so effective.

5 stars My favorite U2 album
This is hands down my favorite U2 album. This is the only one I like from beginning to end. I don't know why it gets the cold shoulder from a lot of fans. It has the most interesting musicianship and hooks of their whole catalog. I particularly like the faith-based overtones to the lyrics.

5 stars Still
I first listened to them in the spring of 1982 as a teenager. I fell inlove with their sound. Still today their music is alive. October is a must for anyone wanting to experience U2!
