Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)
Last up and vinyl and this original release pressing of this iconic album from 1983 produced by Steve Lillywhite.
U2 recorded the album from September–November 1982 at Windmill Lane Studios with Lillywhite producing, the group's third consecutive album made at the studio with the producer. While the central themes of U2's previous albums Boy and October were adolescence and spirituality, respectively,War focused on both the physical aspects of warfare, and the emotional after-effects.Musically, it is also harsher than the band's previous releases. The album has been described as the record where the band "turned pacifism itself into a crusade".
War was a commercial success, knocking Michael Jackson's Thriller from the top of the UK charts to become U2's first number-one album. In the United States, it reached number 12 and became the band's first album certified gold. War received generally favourable reviews, although some British journalists criticised the album it was ranked 223rd on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
