Wow, I think Pop is one of Bono's strongest albums. A bit hoarse here and there, but lyrically a monster.
 
I'm not a very good judge of how to deconstruct each member's contribution, but I would say both "The Fly" and "Acrobat" showcase Edge's talent for complex, powerful and beautiful compositions and technical expertise in playing. Also, "Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World" shows his subtle sense of loud and soft. There's no obvious hook or easily humable guitar melody like a lot of awful U2 songs these days. It's what "A Man and a Woman" tried to be. U2 already had it with this song!

Just amazing songs!
