A very awkward period of the band’s existence. However, this album is better than what the critics said. Set aside the weird visual wines at the time. You will be pleasantly surprised when you close your eyes and listen

Pop gets a lot of hate, but IMO it is their crowning achievement. It was so far a head of its time that it sounds better and more relevant today than it did back in 1997. As much as I love the classic U2 sound, I would love for them to get back to this kind of experimentation. This is a quality vinyl pressing as well. I have an original '97 copy on vinyl and this one holds up just as well to the original.

The 90s, for U2, was experimental and a huge departure from previous decades of music. It blended electronic music with sampling, guitars and some pretty far out lyrics. POP was their last album in the 90s and their most "pop" record. It draws on the irony of the simple-minded people who are constantly searching for the "next" thing. While it doesn't make fun of those people, POP absolutely gives those listeners exactly what they want in the form of this album. The next thing, at the time....

"Pop" was one of my absolute favorite albums from U2. Even though most people thought the band lost its way a bit during this period, I always felt "Pop" contained some truly incredible and meaningful songs, which for me, still hold up today. The remastering of these songs sound absolutely incredible.

I had to do a double take; "is that POP on vinyl I see on the shelf at a Best Buy?" Especially since Best Buy has abandoned selling music. Most underrated U2 album.
