A VERY EXPERIMENTAL AND ECLECTIC WORK BY THE BIGGEST BAND INT HE WORLD. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY FAN...

Zooropa was the follow-up to what many U2 fans consider their masterpiece... Achtung Baby (what I would describe as an incredibly inventive, engaging, beautiful, energetic recording made during the post-cold-war "zeitgeist", reflecting themes of anticipation and passion, while also giving a bit of a "reality check". It still sounds like a very relevant group of songs to me.) Being familiar with Achtung Baby should make the listening of Zooropa more understandable and enjoyable. To me, Zooropa's best songs are Lemon and Stay, with several other keepers, and a few that are a bit weak for U2's standards. Overall, it doesn't rank up there with Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree (two of the top 5 albums of the last 25 years, in my opinion) but it's definitely worthwhile.

This is probably U2's most under rated albums. 'The Wanderer' used Johny Cash's powerful baritone voice, with Bono's ethereal back ground voice overs, perfectly to paint a picture of near-apocalyptic human society, where contradictory values juxtaposes themselves.

A very good album from 1 of my favorite bands. Glad they have had a long & successful career. Track 1 “Zooropa” I just love & will play over & over again. Track 3 “Numb” is another favorite here. 5 rating for Track #1.

This was for a Christmas gift. I ordered from Best Buy online because it was very easy for me and I received free shipping. I am very pleased.
