[521] and so we're told this is the golden age
Work crazy, brain broken. Ate a big ol' wrap for lunch and I have regrets, but it was extremely delicious. T-MINUS TWO WEEKS TO VACATION.
Wikipedia Sez: War is the third studio album by Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Steve Lillywhite, and was released on 28 February 1983 on Island Records. The album is regarded as U2's first overtly political album, in part because of songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day", as well as the title, which stems from the band's perception of the world at the time; lead vocalist Bono stated that "war seemed to be the motif for 1982."
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Album Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, College Rock, Contemporary Pop/Rock, Post-Punk
Release Date: February 28th, 1983
Prior Familiarity: Aside from Sunday Bloody Sunday, not a lot.
What I Did While Listening: Got rid of this section.
Verdict: Genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this, since it's the third U2 album on this list and the first one that doesn't just sound like... Generic Bono Noises to me.
Favourite Song: New Year's Day, there's a cool '80s synth edge to it that I do not associate with U2 at all.
Leshia's Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Today's lunchtime joshi match was Manami Toyota vs. Hikari Fukuoka from Japan Grand Prix 1993 and it absolutely fucks. What's that word for nostalgia for a time/place you never knew? Because just sitting down to watch this and a season 2 episode of Sailor Moon on a random Saturday sounds absolutely peak right now.
Note to future self: look more into the Brudi Brothers. I really like their recent KEXP set a lot.
