		The final album of U2's early period, before the group broadened its sonic palette and lyrical vision, War is a brilliantly conflicted album, sounding martial and majestic while its very purpose is to tear down false idols propped up by politics.
		War was U2s first big selling album and provided them with their first major hit singles.
		In marked contrast to the invention and powerful new wave tunes of Boy and even parts of October, War sees U2 overreaching themselves with a number of tracks apparently intended to convey a kind of martial importance crumbling under the weight of poor tunes.
