That's probably the thing about these albums...you love them or you hate them...there doesn't really seem to be neutral way of looking at these albums...

Zooropa is OK for me........on the other hand POP...well, I like some songs but the album as a whole doesn't work for me......that hybrid sound in MoFo makes me feel sick

How funny this topic should come up. Just the other night I was seized by the urge (no, the NEED) to listen to Pop and discovered I only had Mofo on my ipod. I promptly got the missing songs off Itunes and listened to them over and over. Ahhhh....it's like rediscovering a rare precious gem.

Hands off October, Casper - I love that album! I said something somewhere about how I perceive Pop and Zooropa; both great albums, but far from their best...
