POP was the last U2 album I liked.
"Discotheque"--one my favs
"Do you feel loved?"--One of those odd songs where the verses are much catchier than the chorus.
"Mofo" -- It's about Bono's dead mother. Sorta makes it difficult to slam.
--Squishy middle. Where the album gets it's title, I guess. Interesting production saves some weak writing.--
"Miami" -- Quite refreshing after the previous tracks.
"Please" -- A good song, and I've heard some live versions that are transcendent.
"Wake Up Dead Man" -- This seems like a classic. But maybe it's just a classic in the "Christian rock" subgenre.
It was actually the subsequent album that lost me completely. All That You Can't Leave Behind. Wussy adult contemporary. I'll take a failed experiment over this shit any old day.
And I didn't really fall for the "return to form" of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
Then I was done following the band. I've heard only two or three U2 songs made in the past decade.
