Zooropa sounds like multiple songs pieced together, which is how it's actually created. what if U2 patched 2 different sections of songs they made during past sessions?
Many many U2 songs sound like they have been pieced together. They don't spend forever in the studio playing full songs as a band. It's a massive 'copy and paste' exercise, underpinned by endless self-doubt and producer swapping.
GOYB is the most extreme case that I can think of right now.
