It seems to me that since HTDAAB has been leaked, that we now read review after review that basically disses U2's 90's experimentation.
I find this completely ridiculous and hypocritical. They had 3 albums and 2 tours in the 90's. And of those, AB, ZooTV, and even Zooropa all received critical praise, across the board. Pop was received with generally favorable reviews, and Popmart...well...OK...that was received with mixed reaction. But MOST of 90's U2 was received very well by nearly all critics.
So why now do we read things like the Rolling Stone review which is so quick to basically say "thank heavens they have continued to abandon their ridiculous 90's crap where they were trying to act cool".
The 90's U2 got me into U2. I would never have been a fan if it wasn't for AB/ZooTV/Zooropa.
