"Look, I can't stand lots of what U2 have put out and bono gets on my tits but I can't deny this record. It contains some of the best singles of the 80s. This and achtung baby are just quality. Sunday bloody Sunday...wash the car, mow the lawn. Cheers Alan."

"War is my favorite U2 album. It's also my favorite 80's album. It is so raw, so intense, so powerful, it really moves me. Every song is good, with a few being close to perfection (Like A Song, Drowning Man, The Refugee, Surrender).
The cover art is iconic and as powerful as the music and the lyrics. Bono is better and has more energy than ever before or after, Larry Mullen kills it on drums, The Edge is very creative and Adam's bass tone is tasty and cuts perfectly in the mix.
U2 is the only band I know that was at their peak in the 80's. I don't really like the 80's sound in general because I don't think it aged very well, but this album transcends its era. It's a timeless album, a true classic."
