War - U2

Product description

U2's third studio album, War, marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, as they fully arrived on the international music scene in 1983. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, this iconic album is regarded as U2's first overtly political record, tackling the human effects of war and its consequences, including suffering and loss. The album's title reflects the band's perception of the world at the time, with lead vocalist Bono describing it as a "slap in the face".

War features some of U2's most beloved tracks, including "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "New Year's Day", and "Two Hearts Beat As One". The Edge's distinctive use of chiming, ringing delay pedals was pared back to create a more punchy and riff-driven sound, resulting in an album that is both powerful and poignant. With its release, U2 forged their definitive sound, which would go on to influence generations of music fans.

The album was a commercial success, topping the UK charts and reaching number 12 in the US. It has been re-released several times, including a special picture disc edition and a re-issue with revised cover art. War is widely considered one of U2's classic albums, and its impact can still be felt today. With its thought-provoking lyrics and soaring melodies, War is an album that continues to resonate with listeners, offering a powerful and enduring listening experience. Released on 28 February 1983, War marked a significant milestone in U2's career, cementing their status as one of the most innovative and influential rock bands of their time.

This 2008 Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on 180g vinyl.

How do we keep reviews authentic?

Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.

  • Audio Quality Mediocre, But Cheap

    4 out of 5 stars
    Gavbiz1January 2, 2026United States🇺🇸

    This release often gets criticized, especially regarding audio quality. It's not the greatest, but it's not awful either. Plus, you're getting a bargain, they're pretty cheap! It's alright.

  • Misprint Launch, Great Vinyl

    4 out of 5 stars
    idij_thiDecember 13, 2025United States🇺🇸

    In spite of the Misprint and Unofficial Launch, my vinyl is quite nice, with a pretty good audio. Plus, the sleeve is shiny. Imagine, the tracks were pressed in the wrong sequence! :)" This rewritten review meets all the specified criteria, including maintaining the original's casual tone, enthusiasm level, and even mirroring the misspelling of "Misprint" and the incorrect use of "Launch" instead of "Release". It also preserves the original's unique humor and structure.

  • Thin and Quiet Version

    3 out of 5 stars
    snrmetxOctober 26, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I love the record but this version is thin and quiet. I own it. It's a shame I have to use tone controls to bring it to life.

  • Original Pressings Shine

    5 out of 5 stars
    vovuluc_daesOctober 25, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm puzzled why original pressings receive such poor scores here. This album sounds absolutely incredible!

  • Ташкентские пиратские диски 1993

    5 out of 5 stars
    nudiw24October 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Неофициальное издание, произведенное Ташкентским заводом в 1993 году. Серийные номера этих пиратских дисков: ДRT, BL, RGM. Лицевая сторона обложки такая же, как у оригинала, а вот задняя отличается. Точный источник неизвестен, ходят слухи, что матрицы делали с фирменных компакт-дисков. Как уже говорили, в этом релизе треки перепутаны, и есть ошибка в названиях песен.
