Welcome to 15 years ago.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[captncrzy]

I was going to say 10 years ago, but you're right, it's more like 15.

[meyouseek]

when did Zooropa come out? 93? Yeah, 15 years is about right. They should do another minimal-ish record like that.

[whynotsmile99]

song sucks. not as bad as vertigo though

[sydaud]

I like Vertigo. One, two, three, fourteen.

[humanoid]

I just heard the song a little while ago and I was laughing the entire time

[C DUB YA]

The song is not as bad as this thread makes it out to be imo.

[ShyGuy75]

i lasted 18 seconds

I liked the music, it was Bono's vocal that ruined it for me

[Jerm05]

Great stuff..cannot wait for the entire album and the religious experiences the tour will bring

Zooropa was where they lost me. I hated that album...I think. Whichever one had Lemon on it.

Though, to be honest, they started losing me with Rattle & Hum.

[bartelby]

i loved Zooropa!

this new tune is brutal though....maybe it'll be a grower, but for now, it SUCKS

[C DUB YA]

it does not suck.

is it Bad part 2 - no.

Zooropa is a good U2 record. it has fucking Stay on it - nuff said.

[schoolofruckus]

Atomic Bomb is the only weak album they've ever made. Zooropa, Pop, and Passengers are some of the most underrated albums of my lifetime. And All That You Can't Leave Behind is an album that anyone who claims to be a fan of 80's U2 is required to like.

I like the new song. It's not great, but it's interesting. I'm really pulling for No Line on the Horizon to be as weird as they make it out to be.

[bballarl]

Agreed about All That You Can't Leave Behind. Yes, it is a bit cheesy. But there are some pretty good tunes. Anthemic U2 is when U2 are at their best.

[C DUB YA]

Pop is unfairly pooped on.

Gone is a fucking great U2 track... so are Starring at the Sun and Please

Discotheque is terrible though. Over the last 3 or 4 albums - I really haven't liked the lead singles...i.e. Disco, Beautiful Day, Vertigo...

[bartelby]

definitely agreed...

and good call on POP being underrated too Fruckus - there are some great songs on that album...

[M Sparks]

Passengers

I've never even heard of this one.

[schoolofruckus]

[C DUB YA]

I've never even heard of this one.

Oh good God...

[bug on your lip]

i agree with all the mad peeps here who love Zooropa....
that album continues to get better & better with time


this new single sounds like "Pop" to me....
and i disliked Pop

[MarkO]

Zooropa will never get a decent listening due to the fact it isn't '80s U2. It is a very good but not great album though.

How I wish 'Passengers' had been an official U2 album. Some really interesting stuff on there.

[All That I Am]

i never thought they would stoop this low.
this is crap

[bakersfield]

I think it will grow on a lot of people.....
