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." Recorded from September to November 1982 at Windmill Lane Studios, it was produced by Lillywhite and is the group's third consecutive album developed at the studio with the producer. (Wikipedia)
