After nearly 10 years, I've realized the brilliance of Pop. Discotheque, a little kitschy, but it really gives you the first clue that Adam Clayton's bass lines are gonna fucking own your ass over the next hour. U2 hooks with a disco vibe. Edge's riff over the second verse is sick. As electronica a sound as this album has, the guitars blaze throughout.
Do You Feel Loved? I do when I listen to this song. The intro would be recalled on later hits like Walk On, but this one ends up in a darker place musically. Another stellar hook from Clayton. Talk about a bass player's bass player. I love how Edge just kinda drones throughout like an angry bee around Clayton's bass and Bono's falsettos. Brilliant.
Mofo. Mother....Fucker. Yeah, this is one motherfucker of a song. Nice intro beat, followed by the Prodigy-style bass line and guitar dive bomb. Ass-shaking goodness. Don't be fooled man, this ain't no fucking disco.
Lookin' for to save my, save my soul Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow. Lookin' for to fill that God-shaped hole Mother, mother-suckin' rock an'roll.
If God Will Send His Angels. On the surface, this one always seemed very skippable. The kind of song someone might say "U2 could write in their sleep." Well, maybe they did, but it's better than what most bands come up with wide awake. I think what finally grabbed me about this one was the guitar riff, another head-bobbing bass line from Clayton, and the lyrics:
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the cops collecting for the cons.
So where is the hope and
Where is the faith and the love?
What's that you say to me
Does love light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news.
Where do we go?
Staring at the Sun. U2 perfection. The kind of song just about any songwriter worth a piss would give an appendage to write. The kind of song that makes you think, "How come I didn't come up with that? I know those chords!" It's everything needed for musical beauty: a simple melody, a great singer with lyrics to match, and gorgeous guitar tone and expression. And need I mention yet another Clayton hook in the bridge?
Last Night on Earth. Sounds like "Cabin Down Below" for a second at the beginning, huh? Not for long. Oh, wait, what's that there 16 seconds in? Oh yeah, it's yet another fucking badass bass line from Adam fuckin' Clayton. Followed closely by the phenomenal Mr. Larry Mullen Jr. kickin' the beat on the skins. Again, the band just rides around Adam until the chorus, where Bono just opens up along with Edge's flourishing chords. "She's living like it's the last night on Earth...." Indeed.
Gone. Edge opens up with the squeaky trance line. Leading the way for yes, Mr. Adam Clayton again, throwing down his 7th fucking fat foundation in a row. Anchoring the song so Edge's guitar can swing around him like the planets propelling through space, yet always attached to the sun in the center.
Miami. Definitely the most "experimental" track on the album. Very scattershot, although the melody of the song essentially remains the same throughout. I think this is one song on the album I like more for its parts than its sum. Edge has his moments, especially once the chorus, if you can call it that, kicks in.
The Playboy Mansion. I used to think this song was OK. Then I read the lyrics.
If coke
Is a mystery
Michael Jackson
History
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gifts to get me through
The gates of that Mansion
If OJ is more than a drink
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and maybe we`ll be through
The gates of that Mansion
I never bought a lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone`s space
The banks they're like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love come on down
Don`t wake her she`ll come around
Chance is a kind of religion
Where you`re damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love come on down
Let my numbers come around
Don`t know if I can hold on
Don`t know if I`m that strong
Don`t know if I can wait that long
Till the colours come flashing
And the lights go on
Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can`t say why
I know I`ve got to believe
We`ll go driving in that pool
It`s who you know that gets you through
The gates of the Playboy Mansion
Playboy Mansion
The Playboy Mansion
Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for pain
Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
If You Wear That Velvet Dress. Understated. Quiet. I like the harpsichord line, or maybe it's a guitar effect, but it sounds like a harpsichord so fuck it. The 'sleeper' song of the album, you often let it play in the background, barely noticing it. But something will grab you; one guitar lick, maybe a lyric like "light flickers from across the hall."
Please. Slowly building throughout. One of Bono's most powerful vocal performances. Again, the band is floating around Adam Clayton, backed by Mullen Jr. Tasteful guitar fluorishes that build the tension along with the increasing force of the drums and Bono's pleas. "Get up off your knees."
September, streets capsizing
Spilling over down the drains
Shard of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain.
October, talk getting nowhere.
November, December; remember
We just started again.
Building. Bono hits the falsetto. "Please, please." Clayton riffing hard. Nice vocal harmonies in the background. A U2 original like no other.
Wake Up Dead Man. What a way to close the album. Again, another simple "Why didn't I think of that" song. Three simple chords and a vocal melody. Edge's big hollowbody crashing in the left speaker after the first "Wake up." Listen to the layers of guitars in this one. Subtle plucks here and there. Now the whole band comes in. Again Adam Clayton showing why he's one of the most underrated bass players ever. An amazing close to an amazing album whose true greatness I'm finally realizing 8 years on. Some of the best songwriting and production U2 have ever come up with, on a par with Achtung Baby, only to have it panned because people didn't hear Mysterious Ways and One. Such a shame.

staring at the sun is pretty much a perfect song.

I love Pop. I think that beneath all of the bells and whistles and studio trickery, lie some of the best songs they've ever done. And I happen to quite like some of the aforementioned bells and whistles, so even better for me. Gone, Staring At The Sun, Do You Feel Loved, Please, If God Will Send His Angels... just to name a few... all fantastic as far as I'm concerned. And Wake Up Dead Man has to be one of the best album closers they've done.

I couldn't agree more - although Playboy Mansion and Velvet Dress are bloody awful. Drop those two, and it's solid from top to bottom.

pop is also one of my favorite u2 albums. mofo and please alone are mindblowing songs that make it a great album. i do think that playboy mansion and miami are kind of weak though but it doesn't really matter since its a long album.

I like Zooropa too.
I never didn't like it, I just didn't realize how goddamn good it is until recently. And Zooropa has always been adored by moi. Listening to it now as a matter of fact.
I'm in the slipstream

Maddox did a song-by-song review of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Here you go:
Quote:
The eleven worst songs of 2004.
Narrowing down the worst songs of 2004 to a mere eleven was possibly the hardest thing I've ever done. What, with Jessica Simpson's "ReJoyce" Christmas-exploitation album, Lindsay Lohan's aural holocaust, "Speak," and Celine Dion's pretentious bullshit "Miracle," and by the way, I didn't think it was possible for me to hate Celine Dion anymore than I already did until I saw the cover of her newest album and accompanying calendar for the modern "grrrl power" super-bitch who finds solace in Dion's brash self-righteous smuggery. Alas, I used some restraint and narrowed the list down to eleven. Here they are:
1. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - Vertigo
The only thing worse than U2 is a snobby U2 fan. They think they're so hip now that U2 has their own iPod commercial. Wow, you're on an iPod commercial?
Other than the shitty song (which I'll get to shortly), the U2 Vertigo commercial uses the same black silhouette style as every other iPod commercial with one exception: Bono's face (the lead singer) is visible along with the rest of the band. Every iPod commercial was the same until U2 came along and took a shit on convention.
As sanctimonious as U2 tries to be, the reason their faces are lit during the commercial isn't because they're larger-than-life rock stars, but rather, because they're not. When was the last time U2 had a hit? Or a flop? Or anything for that matter? Their last major release was in 2000, an album which was so inconsequential that merely labeling it as such bumps it into a lesser category of sucktitude (but just barely, so eat shit). If their faces weren't lit up, nobody would know who they were except for the most diehard U2 fans, and nobody cares what they think.
As for the "Vertigo" song itself, it's a mix of twangy guitars, unnecessary spanish, and Bono's stupid glasses. By the way, just because a singer wears stupid goggles doesn't mean that they're suddenly cool or hip. Oooh look! Bono the rock star is wearing redneck Nascar goggles, let's all fellate him for being so rebellious; take that Hollywood! They're still the same goggles that dumbass Nascar fans wear to every boring Nascar "event." Man I hate Nascar. And while I'm at it, here's a quick open letter to the NASCAR community: quit writing poems about Dale Earnhardt. Nobody cares. And no, it wasn't NASCAR's fault for not making the tracks wide enough. Nobody would watch NASCAR if it weren't for the wrecks because it's BORING. You love the wrecks because it gives you people something to talk about in your boring lives; don't get all teary eyed when one of your redneck heroes bites it, you hypocritical turds. The wall won, get over it.
Anyway, back to Vertigo: this song sucks so much because of the unique tag-team trio of shitty music, the forced chic of iPod ads, and its stupid fan base. I looked around on some U2 message boards to see what the fans were saying about this song and its turgid lyrics, here's what fan member "Bob" has to say:
Vertigo actually has some seriously heavy lyric - but I bet most of mainstream radio listeners will never know what they mean - I love that! It makes me feel priviledged [sic] to know what the man has to say - there are so many invaluable messages in their albums, certainly this one will be another thought provoking and life influencing scripture. Here's a sample of the "seriously heavy lyrics" in Vertigo:
WoooAoo! WoooAoo! WoooAoo! WoooAoo! Click here to listen (49k mp3): And who could forget this poignant verse:
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Click here to listen (96k mp3): Yeah, real heavy lyrics, dipshit. When Bono's not mumbling like an idiot, he's trying to be emotional by flailing his arms in the air like he's so overcome that he can't help but bellow out a limp-dick line like "I can feeeeEEEEEEeeeeeel." Pussy.
2. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - Miracle Drug
Coming in at #2 is "Miracle Drug" from the same album. When this album first came out, people wouldn't shut up about the hype that "U2 has made a triumphant return to its rock and roll roots." Triumphant? What exactly has U2 "triumphed" over? The only thing triumphant about U2 is their uncanny ability to produce the same cookie cutter sound that's slowly crippling originality and innovation on airwaves around the world. Congratulations you hacks, you've made FM radio unlistenable.
Bono is 44. He's too old to "rock." I know people have been saying the same thing about Rolling Stones for years now, and every time the Rolling Stones go on tour, they prove their critics right. Give it a rest. I don't even blame U2 for this, it's you stupid fans. Maybe they'll stop annoying us with obnoxious commercials if you morons would stop lapping this shit up like anti-freeze at a petting zoo.
Yet another fan on a message board had this to say about "Miracle Drug:"
I think that Bono turns pop culture upside down with the line "I've had enough of romantic love." Wow, how profound. Look out pop-culture! Bono has had enough of "romantic love." Here comes Bono and his idiotic fans to make ambiguous jabs at you.
3. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
zzZZZZZzz.... YAWN. So let me get this straight: U2's "triumphant return to its rock and roll roots" includes a teary song about his dad's struggle with cancer? Rock on you frauds.
4. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - Love And Peace Or Else
If there was a list of things a pacifist should never say, "or else" would probably top it. Everything about this song is stupid. Love and peace or else? Or else what, you pussies? What are you going to do about it? Sing another crybaby song for your crybaby fans? Tough shit bitches, war kicks ass.
Can't you hippies just piss off and surrender somewhere quietly for once without singing a song about it?
5. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - City of Blinding Lights
New age mystic bullshit.
6. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - All Because Of You
This is the one song on the album that U2's arrogant fans can't come to a consensus about. Some believe it's a song about life, some death, and others God. One thing I think everyone can agree on is: nobody cares.
7. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - A Man And A Woman
Great song, if you ignore the ho-hum music and the fact that "romance" doesn't rhyme with "distance." This song exemplifies the reason I hate songs with lyrics. Listen you dolts: if a song has a "message," then it probably doesn't matter because more often than not, song writers compromise their message for the sake of making a song that sounds good, or they compromise the music for the sake of pushing their shallow agenda. Maybe U2 wouldn't suck so hard if they stopped preaching and started rocking instead. Of course, that's difficult to do with Pantera holding a near monopoly on all things that rock.
8. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - Crumbs From Your Table
This song is about how America and its wealthiest people don't do enough to help solve world hunger. The title suggests that crumbs from our table could help starving people in Africa. Bono indicts America for being hypocritical with these lines:
Would you deny for others What you demand for yourself? Bono could not be reached for comment as he was stepping off his private jet and into his limousine.
9. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - One Step Closer
This sounds like the soundtrack of a coma.
10. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - Original Of The Species
This song was supposedly written about the daughter of guitarist "The Edge." Yeah, that's his nickname: The Edge. I used to think names like "The Edge" or "Spike" were cool, but then I turned 12.
The only way I could ever respect him is if he shouted some stupid catch phrase before every concert like "WATCH OUT! THE EDGE WILL CUT YOU!" That might almost be stupid enough to be cool again with the dumbass hipster crowd, until the next stupid trend shows up at Hot Topic for you to oversaturate and ruin.
11. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - U2 - Yahweh
This quote epitomizes U2's pious, holier-than-thou attitude:
"I don't know why, but we always had this belief that there was something sacred about our music, that it was almost holy."
-Bono, pompous asshole and lead singer of U2 Cocky, high-handed, imperial assholes.
That wraps up the list of the top 11 worst songs of 2004. I wanted to list a few honorable mentions, such as "Maroon 5" and their crappy synthesized vocals, but I don't have the time or the patience to listen to any more of this garbage. Piss off.

Yeah, like everyone and their mother hadn't read that by February. This thread's about Pop, not slagging another of their albums.

He's repeatedly talked about people remote linking his stuff and how it pisses him off. Furthermore, a child could have been birthed between when that article was posted on maddox's site and when you decided to enlighten us with it. His isn't exactly an obscure website.
Nice try, but the "pissing on U2 in U2 threads" thing is stale at this point. Do us all a favor and go terrorize one of the 800 Death Cab for Cutie threads instead, thanks.
