Wish they could go back and do more music like this.
Whoa, seriously? I think Pop is one of their biggest misses ever. The album, the tour, the marketing -- that whole period just feel incredibly flat for me.
I’d love to agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.

Pop was a step down from Zooropa which was a (smaller) step down from Achtung Baby. It was followed by the massive step down of ATYCLB.

Pop Mart was one of the coolest things U2 has ever done. And Pop, the album, is very good. And Discotheque fucking grooves like nobody’s business.

there is a lot of great stuff on pop but there are a lot of misses as well.
