So we can all probably agree that Bono is generally pretty annoying. That being said at least he has good intentions and most famous people are dicks anyway. That is my cheerful introduction to War, the first five star album we have had in a long time!
I feel like we often get albums that are completely devoid of meaning but catchy as hell, or albums that are a total slog to get through, but carry some important message. Rarely do we get the best of both worlds. Here we get some great political songs that I really enjoyed listening to. The entire album has a very cohesive sound and you can see why U2 is so influential over the years.
A wonderful album and we get the Police next! Things are turning around for old Amanda!
RATING: 5/5
Love this and loved your review!
