you are what you is
and I do agree with Khanada that I'm completely off topic now

whoah. are you trying to say that only real fans like pop? i'm not sure.
Salome said:POP was not rushed in a sense that it could have been more polished,
it's rushed in a sense that it's not a really cohesive album (I know that's what some people like about it but it feels too much like 4 ep's thrown together for my personal liking) and some of the songs could have used another look at to make them more interesting musically (I think the production on POP is far more interesting than the actual music, but that is just my opinion I guess)
Discotheque is a nice example
that riff does sound very cool because of the production
the riff itself doesn't make my mouth water though

okay.LivLuvAndBootlegMusic said:nononono that's not what I meant at all. I don't care who likes Pop and who doesn't. Kitten said "I'm not just talking about critics, but real fans, people I know." so what I meant is, all of the real fans I know and have met (U2 being their favorite band) like Pop ok. Maybe it's not their fave, but I haven't met someone that DOESN'T like it.

Just for everyone's peace of mind, Salome prefers the consumate rip-offs perpetrated by Angus Young, at the expense of one Jimmy Page. Rock on brother.

I mean, not being able to fully sell out a venue - when being a band U2's cathegory it's definitely not good - and having trouble playing on opening night - again, not good with any band, much less someone on this scale - is bound to get critics tearing you apart.
