This surprises me. I guess I like POP more than NLOTH. But I'm sure that, for me, those 3 POP tracks belong on the list.

Moment of Surrender
Vertigo

After the experience of listening to MDH in spring 2000, ATYCLB was a real let down - for me, at least.

Agreed. I actually think MDH is a more interesting body of work than ATYCLB. A U2 album in the vein of GBHF/Stateless/NLMG would have been the perfect follow-up to Pop imo.

 

[rennowba]

Trying to think of the top 5 is so hard.i know u2 have alot of critics for their most recent stuff but im finding it hard
Just getting it down to 5.theres so many i like. I got into the band around atyclb era so these last couple of albums is were ive got into the band big.

1 discotheque
2 miracle drug
3 breathe
4 kite
5 beautiful day (mainly cause i was 14 at the time it came out and it got me
Into not only u2 but proper music)

[flybabe]

What's this?

A little know damn good studio track and it's highly underrated. It's Bono pulling out some Frank Sinatra...

It's a good track, thanks. I like how his voice is recorded here -- it seems organically a part of the track, not like on NLOTH where his voice is mixed way too high and comes off shrill.

2.) Kite
3.) Moment of Surrender
4.) Magnificent
5.) Gone
