War is U2' s most intense album.

It's the music they had to get out of their system or they were going to burst. Of all U2's albums, It's still the one that touches me the deepest.

And the best in my opinion

Please! The unforgettable fire album documentary!!!

With ‘War’, U2 finally found their songwriting voice. This was a whole new band and I loved it.

U2's first three albums were seminal parts of my childhood in the San Fernando Valley. As an adult I was privileged to chill with The Edge, a real hero, and kickback to tell him this and rap about guitars for a good while in 1997. Highlight of my life

I remembered listening to this "new song" on the radio and buying this cassette with my hard-earned newspaper delivery money in 1983. My favorite band in the world!

I like there old stuff but I wouldn't go to a u2 concert if you paid me

This album is magnificent....I grew up listening to these early U2 albums...passion, fire and brilliance!!

the solo on new years day get me every time.

I can’t tell you how much I value the work you’ve put into these videos. What a jewel these documentaries are... thank you for helping in sharing the music. Can’t wait to see the rest in the series

Beautifully done! Hands down, favourite U2 album. Never knew the full story of “40”. Brilliant!

This doc series is FANTASTIC!👍👍👍👍🙏👏👏👏 The “War” album is a masterpiece, every song on that record is brilliant. It was my absolute favorite , by far, during high school in the 80’s. I was fortunate to see them play during the war tour, in Nagoya Japan 1983. Best live show I have ever seen.

These documentaries are clearly a labour of love! Great stuff and a pleasure to watch. These three documentaries together paint a nice picture of the band's rise to stardom. It struck me to see how 'big' they already were after three albums, knowing that the best was still to come! I hope you are still working on the Unforgettable Fire documentary as I would love to watch that (and subsequent documentaries :-) ) These documentaries deserve much more views for the effort put into them!

That army chant edit in the middle of 'Seconds' is beyond the call and a fantastic marriage of the actual event to the studio track's use of it. All of these U2 album docs are just what the doctor ordered. Brah-vo to honoring this turning point in the band's early career in such elegant fashion.

The finest U2 album. Period. Ever. The soundtrack to my sophomore year of high school and I wore it out cassette and vinyl. Cheers. I used to listen to "New Year's Day" every New Year's Day... Thanks so much for this walk down the lane for us fifty-somethings

Man those videos are so good! Every U2 fan should watch them. Thank you for the effort put to make them.

I was at the Red Rocks show. Barry Fey had cancelled the show but there were about 12 of us already waiting in line, in the rain (and about another 30 people waiting in their cars in the parking lot). This was before cell phones, so we didn't know the show had been cancelled. The Managers took pity on us and let us back stage when it really started to pour. Bono and band came and met us, gave us tea and crumpets, signed autographs. The raw footage of these pre-show moments was recently released, and there we are, my girlfriends and I - soaked like rats, in all our teenage glory getting our tickets stubs signed and chatting up Bono. It was an amazing moment. The next night- the show (in doors) up in Boulder was even better than the Red Rocks show- and the crowd sang "How long to sing this song" for over an hour- all the way to the parking lot and even driving out of the lots- screaming 40 out the windows and down the highway. Having said all of that- I saw them tour for Boy at a 1400 capacity venue called The Rainbow here in Denver- and THAT was one of the best shows of my life.

My favorite period of U2 is the 80’s from Boy to the Joshua Tree album. No other era of U2 beats the 80’s as Bono said the 80’s were a time of ECSTATIC music and feeling!

Thank you so much for this piece of work. The War album meant so much to me as water at that time in my life. Then I bought Boy and October and my life was changed.

War was U2's Midnight Oil album. It's a far better album than the previous two and far, far better than anything after Achtung Baby. I consider it equal to The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and The Unforgettable Fire.

@@V1CT1MIZED A lot of people agree with you about Zooropa, but I'm not one of them. Most of it is boring to me. Lemon is by far my favorite song on Zooropa and one of the best songs U2 ever made. I like Numb, the title song, and Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car and the rest just is too bland for me. But I'm an atypical case. I also find most of Boy, October, ATYCLB and every album since to be boring and I absolutely love many songs that others dislike: The Refugee, Red Light, Promenade, Elvis Presley and America, Angel of Harlem, The Playboy Mansion...

Amazing work on all three of these! I can't wait for future ones, please keep going!

War = A Complete Masterpiece.

Ci hannoaccompagnato per tutta la vita,siamo tutti cresciuti con loro. I Love U2

This was great!

I LOVED that this album featured both horns and violin, as both really added a fullness and depth to the songs they were used on. Kind of wish they'd have used more orchestration in their subsequent albums, although that doesn't always transfer when doing live shows. :-(

wow i had my suspissions back in 1987(when this album came into my life) that someone other than bono sung on seconds. I was right!!!! thanks for that., War is my altime fav album and its beating a lot of well produced albums in my book... Eno was a god and i just cant imagine what the album would have been if he produced it. So glad it worked out the way it did. Albums i find comparable.. Janes Addiction NS and Ritual.. BTS perfect from now on(complete album is so underated) Radiohead in rainbows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. bends ok computer... and lonsome crowded west - MM

You do an unbelievable job, I would love to see you do more albums! Achtung Baby and Zooropa! 😄

Bravo. Well done rockumentary. War and UaBRS were the soundtrack of my college years. Who could have imagined what was ahead with UF and JT... well I guess U2 imagined.

Great Job!

looking forwards to the unfogetable fire one, hope all is well

I'm also convinced that relentless touring to make up for October's relative failure raised their playing abilities considerably. They worked non stop.

These are fantastic!!! I noticed the last one you made was a year ago!!! I’m going to need you to sit down with your computer and make a documentary for the rest of their albums. Yes, I have decided this is a must. So it written, so shall it be done... PLEASE!! 😉😃😉😃😉😃

Being a Las Vegas local, I recently saw them at the Sphere and am hoping to get in at least one more show before they end their residency. We need to start a petition to get the band to play Drowning Man! If War was released on 28 Feb 83 that would mean that the only performance of Like a Song happened before the album had even been released (26 Feb 83 in Dundee, Scotland)...That´s a bummer because it´s a great song.
