I have been a U2 fan since HTDAAB came out and so far own:
HTDAAB
ATYCLB
The Best of 1990-2000
The Unforgettable Fire
Pop
Achtung Baby
I have burned CD's of Zooropa, Joshua, October, 1980-1990, Boy, and War but plan to actually buy all of their CD's soon. I have heard bits and pieces of Pop and Zooropa before, but just now gave them my first full listens, here is what I thought:
POP:
1. Discotheque: 4/5 - Solid song with great background guitar riff
2. Do You Feel Loved: 3.5/5 - A little overrated based on what I had already heard
3. Mofo: 4/5 - Very cool song, pleastly surprised
4. If God Would Send His Angels: 4/5 - Great song, very mellow
5. Staring At The Sun: 4.5/5 - Album version is better than on the Best of
6. Last Night on Earth: 4.5/5 - Very underrated, awesome chorus
7. Gone: 4/5 - Best of remix is better than the album version
8. Miami: 2/5 - Worst song on the album
9. The Playboy Mansion: 4/5 - Underrated song mellow groove, very nice
10. If You Wear That Velvet Dress: 3/5 - Lots of potential wasted
11. Please: 3/5 - Single mix is better, album version is weak and a little boring
12. Weak Up Dead Man: 3/5 - Another song with great potential that felt incomplete
Overall: 3.5/5 - I was surprised with overall how good this album was, not as bad as I expected
ZOOROPA
1. Zooropa: 3.5/5 - Has its ups and downs
2. Babyface: 3/5 - Good at times but not too good overall
3. Numb: 0/5 - Terrible, U2's worst song
4. Lemon: 4/5 - Very solid cool sounds, probably will grow on me with time
5. Stay (faraway, so close): 2.5/5 - Boring, puts me right to sleep
6. Daddy's Gonna Pay...: 2.5/5 - Good at times but that "oh, shalah" part ruins it
7. Some Days are Better...: 4/5 - Good tune, good chorus
8. The First Time: 3/5 - Overrated, pretty boring, don't see what's so great about it
9. Dirty Day: 3/5 - Another one on Zooropa that has its ups and downs
10. The Wanderer: 5/5 - Best song on the album, excellent medolies, great song
Overall: 3/5 - Decent album with some very high points and very low points that is very bittersweet. Probably one of U2's worst but that isn't bad its just painfully mediocre.
You should all be very proud of me that I gave Zooropa a fair shake because I have bashed it in the past because what I had heard I did not like at all. Now maybe I will only semi-bash it
