This album continues to
represent the best of recorded
music.
When an established band
throws caution to the wind and
ventures to produce something
different and unexpected.
It's the third in a trilogy
that started with Achtung
Baby.
Pop is U2's most
provocative album; it is
ambitious, groundbreaking and
deep.
"Please" and "Wake Up Dead
Man" are raw and powerful this
album features not only a
wonderful style, but some of
the best lyrics Bono ever
wrote.
"Discoteque" is a very fun,
complex song. It features some
of the best music the band ever
wrote, and puts one in a
"party" like mood.
This sets the wanted tone,
which is that of "taking what
you get, because it's all you
can find".
The subsequent listenings
will help the listener to
understand this is Bono's
parable not unlike "The
Wanderer" from Zooropa.
"Do You Feel Loved" is among
the same lines; it is a look at
superficial love and peoples
lives just slipping through
their fingers as they waste
time.
"If God Will Send His
Angels" is not only beautiful,
but poignant. It seems to tell
a similar story as the first
couple of tracks, but from an
outside point of view.
