Product Description

U2's third studio album, "War," released on February 28, 1983, under Universal-Island Records Ltd., is a powerful and politically charged exploration of the human condition. Clocking in at just over 42 minutes, this rock album is a testament to the band's growing maturity and their ability to blend anthemic soundscapes with poignant lyrics.

The album opens with the iconic "Sunday Bloody Sunday," a song that addresses the violence in Northern Ireland and remains one of U2's most politically significant tracks. The title track, "New Year's Day," is a stirring anthem about the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan, showcasing the band's knack for turning global events into universal anthems. "Two Hearts Beat As One" and "Red Light" are standout tracks that highlight the band's evolving sound and lyrical depth.

"War" is not just a collection of songs but a cohesive journey through themes of conflict, love, and resilience. The album's remastered 2008 version brings new clarity to the band's powerful performances, making it a compelling listen for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. With its timeless themes and unforgettable melodies, "War" remains a cornerstone of U2's discography and a defining album of the 1980s rock scene.

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
    Gavbiz12 January 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_thi13 December 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
    snrmetx26 October 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_daes25 October 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
    nudiw2421 October 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.
