How To Buy... U2 #10

10. October
(ISLAND 1981)
Woolly in parts, but only when compared with the certitude that preceded (Boy) and followed it (War), U2's second album is knee-deep in swirls of mist, Celtic mysticism and, on Tomorrow, even uillean pipes. Setting a precedent for crisis-ridden recording sessions, Bono lost his lyric books and started afresh while bassist Adam Clayton's rakish agnostic lifestyle rubbed his born-again bandmates up the wrong way. Yet U2 are feeling their way toward new shapes and broader horizons here and that tension - between what is known and what is yet to be imagined - is the charm of October, if not U2 in toto.

How did War not make this list? It may not be their best album, but it's certainly better then ATYCLB & HTDAAB!
