5.0 out of 5 stars The Lovers, The Misunderstood, and Me, July 2, 2003

Please, my friends, don't heed the hype and don't listen to the band. POP is brilliant, painful, powerful, angry, angsty, and more heartbreakingly human than any U2 album since Boy. They've come down off their pillar of just-short-of-godly genius to roll in the mire with us mere mortals. It hurts, but in a good way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, January 12, 2000

As a U2 fan of seven years, I would have to say that this is their album I'm most inspired by. Pop is flawless. Its an album that feels like your life. Pop, AB, and Zooropa are the best albums U2 have done. If you like U2's 80's stuff, this album is less accesible, but if you really listen to it you will fall in love with it. Its amazing the way U2 incorporated elements of club culture and made it their own. Definatly their most underrated album.

4.0 out of 5 stars U2 are still the best, but this is not their best, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pop (Audio CD)

With Pop, U2 ventured into new territory yet again, with slightly less stellar results than they had achieved with Achtung Baby. Nevertheless, the songs on Pop stand right up there alongside the rest of their work. If the album was just a little bit more cohesive, with slightly better production, it would be of a 5 star calibre. As it is, I love it for its bold experimentalism, Bono's dead-on lyrics, and its heightened sense of the moment. When you listen to this album, you know it must have been created in the late 90s, and other than Radiohead, I can't think of any other rock band that seem to be bothering to try to articulate these times we are living in. Highlights include Wake Up Dead Man, a gothic prayer with excellent lyrics; Gone, yet another great guitar anthem by Mr. Edge; MoFo, the only real venture into Techno territory, it proves U2 can do whatever they want to do; and If You Wear That Velvet Dress, a dark, quiet, brooding piece of music full of mystery and longing. Please, also, is great, but I feel Edge's guitar is way too low in the mix. Still, great album, lads. Can't wait for the next one.
