This album is definitely underappreciated even within the U2 fan community. It is a true jem and an example of artists pushing and expanding into new territory. This doesn't sound like anything made before or after. And I love it.

Experimental U2 is much better than play-it-safe U2 even when they still miss the mark. Lemon and Stay are dandy and the Johnny Cash closer still holds up after many years, in spite of Bono's overly weening lyric.

in my opinion this is an underrated album, logically it is not their best album, but it contains a sophisticated and memorable song sung by Johnny Cash

U2 deciding to demphasize Edge's guitar work = Jessica Simpson deciding she wants to be known for her intellect. Got to admire them for taking chances when they didn't really have to, but at the same time, WTF were they thinking? Some immortal lyrics: "Some days are sleepy, other days sloppy/Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy." And some days, apparently, you take a chainsaw to your credibility. Oh, and Bono's Disco falsetto? Makes Mick Jagger in his upper register sound like Joni Mitchell. Egad. This album scares me. The album cover itself should have warned me off.

An overlooked masterpiece. More of a piece of art than an album, it focuses more on atmosphere than songs.

Why isn't this more appreciated? U2 were stretching themselves here, searching for new musical territory. It's a greater reach than Achtung, but the hit the mark, unlike Pop, which was unfocused. This is one of U2's best. It's creative and complicated. So much better than the boring 00s crap.

Radically different than anything they ever did before. Good songs include Zooropa, Numb, and Lemon. But there is quite a bit of filler here too.

Last respectable work by the group as far as I'm concerned.

One of their less-liked releases. I thought it was disappointing when it first came out, but over the years it's really grown on me. I count it as one of my favorites by them now.

This album is U2 taking the artsy side of themselves a quite a bit further. This is one of my favorite U2 albums mostly because it is more artsy and not so in your face- and it has this quality to it that is hard to explain that is in no other U2 album. It's almost like U2 was smoking weed or was on Xanex the whole time they wrote and recorded this. I like the more slow, euphoric feel to it.
