U2 makes a U-Turn with Pop

Date of Review:  May 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: Maybe not an album for less adventurous souls, Pop is nonetheless an impressive musical attempt from U2.
Review: Pop proves that even the commonly believed worst U2 studio album is better than the best Backstreet Boys pseudo-attempt at music.

Critics and fans alike had problems accepting U2?s new direction on Pop. But, in reality U2 first...

My First U2 Album After My Awakening

Date of Review:  May 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: Not as strong as "Joshua Tree" or "All That You Can't Leave Behind," but still has messages and good music.
Review: Until 1997, I didn't listen to "new music." My favorite bands were Elvis, The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Then I started living life and cautiously trying new flavors of music, and ended up REALLY liking U2. Well, I...

Looking for the Baby Jesus Under the Trash

Date of Review:  May 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: It's different, it's dangerous, it's controversial, and it hits really close to home. Meet U2 at the top of their game.
Review: Ladies and gentlemen, here it is. My favorite U2 album.

No, really.

Okay, I know it sounds preposterous. After all, I'm the guy who likes an inordinate number of happy, well-adjusted Christian rock bands. So why, instead of any...

A few bright moments if you can weed through the junk

Date of Review:  Sep 18, 2003
The Bottom Line: It's a decent album, but doesn't hold a candle to the better discs for which U2 is famous.
Review: I honestly thought U2 was finished when I first heard 1997's Pop. The disc came out after 1993's Zooropa, a disc which redefines the term "horrible." While Pop is an improvement over Zooropa, it still lacks the drive, immediacy and outright passion...

Listen As Hope and Peace Try To Rhyme...

Date of Review:  Oct 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Pop isn't all that bad, but it isn't all that great either.
Review: In the case of all too many great rock and roll acts who have great careers, there is the one blunder of an album that mucks up their nearly spotless resume. For Aerosmith, this is known as Done With Mirrors. For The Who, it's known as It's Hard...

Boom-cha.

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: Hey, you could do worse. Namely, Zooropa.
Review: All in the spirit of experimentation, U2 began to drift in the 1990s, testing the waters of electronica and dance music. Hey, I like experimentation--- it yielded dance-rock opus Achtung Baby, arguably the best album, like, EVER. Alas, Bono and...

The U2 Series Vol 2: Pop, or, "The title's SUPPOSED to be ironic, people!"

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: It's not Pop. And that's the point, stupid.
Review: 90's U2 has fascinated me infinitley more than their 80's work, quality of compositions aside. This album, released in 1997, fooled everyone, and, as such, nobody was quite ready for it.

The album previous, 1993's Zooropa, was a...

Even A Flawed U2 Album Has Its Worthy Moments.

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2002
The Bottom Line: Pop, while not a disaster, was (for U2) a mediocre album. But it has its moments.
Review: 1997's Pop is one of the more controversial albums in the U2 catalog. At the time it came out, the music industry was buzzing about a big electronica "boom" and how U2 was one of the first rock acts to try the new sound. Thus, Pop got hyped as "U2's...

U2 Goes Further Into Electronica

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a very good album from U2 that was ruined by poor marketing and promotion. Probably their most underrated effort.
Review:

After the success of 1991?s ?Achtung Baby? and 1993?s ?Zooropa? albums, U2 took an extended break in the mid-90s while contributing to little projects like the song ?Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me? to the ?Batman Forever? soundtrack...

Wake Up Dead Men - cynical criticism of our times in U2's POP

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2003
The Bottom Line: For the interested in 1990's music, it encapsulates many trends and controversies. For U2 fans, a charming mystery that proves deceptful in some ways and effective in others - essential.
Review: U2's unmistakable 90's journey was the very summary of that decade's uncertainty and constant change. They made a remarkable shift in paradigms in 1991's Achtung Baby, putting a final point in 80's. They improved their approach and aesthetics in...
