Love is Blindness is the only song on Achtung I'm not a huge fan of, but it's still pretty good.

I do like how understated (comparatively) October is, and you can see the bones of so many great songs in it, but Love is blindness is probably better.

I heard this version of Love is Blindness last fall and fell in love with the song. I realized weeks afterward that it was a U2 song. Still gets my vote

If we’re talking about covers of Love is Blindness, this one is tops.

First time hearing both of these. "October" was a nothing song. Barely felt like a song at all. I'm one minute into "Love is Blindness" and it's already infinitely superior.

Right?! I was kinda disappointed it was a cover.

October is one of my favorite early U2 songs, so this sucks, but it wasn’t going to make it deep anyway. Love is Blindness puts a nice bow on Achtung Baby, and the live version posted above is so special.

The bass line in Love is Blindness get stuck so deep in my brain after hearing it. I hear it in my mind for hours, sometimes days.

Love is Blindness always...every material from AB is vastly superior to pretty much anything.

Gotta say, October doesn’t do much for me.

I like this cover but nothing touches the original.
