October Worship Thread

singnomore:
Ok I'm pinching ideas but I feel the need to defend an underrated album! Theres a lot of dissing of October going on...for me its full of angst..great tunes (October itself makes you shiver) The hard second album that spawned some great tunes - lost lyrics, issues with faith and yet they came through it all to bring even more fantatstic tunes for us all. October could have been the end instead i think it restored their faith in themselves - so lets borrow with pride and see who else out there agrees and wants to worship!

StrongGirl:
Wow, you must have been reading my mind.  For the last couple of weeks, I have been thinking about how much I have always loved the October album!  It is so horribly underrated and criticized by fans a lot.  It is a beautiful piece of work.  Tomorrow is one of Bono's most beautiful vocals.  It inspires me everytime I listen to it.  I think some of the other albums that get all the praise are actually a bit overrated (Achtung Baby) while this one flies under the radar and remains a quiet little gem (in my humble opinion of course!).  I was happy to see someone post this.  I was thinking of starting this topic myself.  Well done singnomore!! I am worshipping with you.

Van the Man Fan:
The energy and rawness on this record are magical.  I'd rather listen to this than the two newest albums to be honest.  Good thread.

julsport:
I too adore the album October. Gloria was the first song I heard from this album; I remember watching the video on MTV and falling madly in love with Adam and Larry – ahh youth!!!  October is a haunting song, it gives me goosepimples each time I hear it. That song proves that simplicity works - just vocals and piano.  “I Fall Down” I love for a different reason – it has my name in it!! Silly, I know, but we each like songs for different reasons………..

Van the Man Fan:
I love I Fall Down.  Great piano!
