 October (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
October is the second album by Irish rock band U2, released in 1981.
Only one of the songs from October, the title song, was featured in the band's Best of 1980-1990 collection, as a hidden track at the end of the album, although "Gloria" was a staple of their live set throughout the eighties.
October was the start of U2's vision of the music video as an integral part of the bands creative work, as it was released during a time that MTV was first becoming as popular as radio.

 October album - the second U2 LP
'October' was recorded in Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin and released in October of 1981, just 12 months after 'Boy' announced the arrival of U2.
In that time the band had grown in their respective musical abilities, and 'October' was proof that their style had moved on without sacrificing their distinctive sound.
This involved releasing cassette versions of albums that had the music on one side only, thus leaving the other side free to tape something else on.

 October by U2 CD
Though it's probably one of their least-acclaimed albums, OCTOBER is where it all began to come together for U2.
The youthful exuberance they demonstrated on BOY was now a given, but for this, their second album, the conceptual end of things began to coalesce as well.
Most affecting, and indicative of the group's progress is the emotional epic "Gloria;" full of resounding major chords and throbbing rhythms, it's simultaneously an open admission of self-doubt and a call to arms to embrace life's uncertainties.

 Rolling Stone : October : Review
Perhaps as a result of touring the DOR circuit, U2 try a little funk in "I Threw a Brick through a Window" and use trumpet ("With a Shout") and timbales ("Is That All?") like British neofunkers A Certain Ratio.
Boy was an intriguing, one-time-only document–the inside story from children at the brink of manhood – and its compositions were sparked by the tension between the Edge's world-beating guitar playing and Bono's fearful pride.
The albums piano led namesake is the only other truly memoriable number.

October was U2's second full length commercial release.
During the recording sessions of the album, U2 had visited the Seattle area on tour, and Bono's briefcase was lost.

 Foiled Album Review (Blue October)
Blue October has found a comfortable existence somewhere in the middle.
Aptly enough, the song is called “You Make Me Smile.” The album continues into the second song with the same melodic pace.
The musicians show their skills and versatility throughout the album and can drive the beat heavily or play softly, such as in “Let It Go” which also includes some simple, yet deep lyrics.
