3.5 great | lz41 | November 13th 20 | "Pop" is misunderstood if not actually being an underrated album. Remembered as the album where U2 neither had its cake nor ate it, in truth "Pop" is more of a missed opportunity that should have been a fascinating conclusion to the 90s journey. "Pop" is at its best when it marries the zenith of U2's remarkable post-modern dance and electronic phase with its extinguishing: the gyrating 'Discotheque' running into the black gut vomit of 'Wake Up Dead Man' by way of the star privilege guilt of 'Gone'. Unfortunately, there are too many songs forgotten once heard.

3.0 good | Mookid | September 2nd 14 | This is easily their most underrated/neglected album ever, and that's quite understandable, as this album's sound is purely electronic based. Despite the abrupt genre change, Pop is a reasonably decent album, but definitely not as good as Achtung Baby or War.

4.5 superb | MrBobDobbelina | December 15th 09 | U2 goes electronic and it works. It just shows how good they are at creating music. They could have very easily done what they did before and made lots of money anyway but they took a chance. Just like they did with Rattle and Hum, Achtung Baby and Zooropa. I think that's pretty cool!
