I see them as showmen... after this many years and platinum records, it must be a weighty thing to continue bringing millions of people out to your shows and trying to create albums that can compete with stuff like "The Joshua Tree" and "Achtung Baby."

There is some material on that album that's very easy to skip, so, I guess from that perspective, perhaps it shouldn't be a classic... But, for the most part, it's a pretty damn solid album, imho.

Reply #79 - 11/01/9 at 16:18:39 I just could never really get into it. A part of it may be that a bunch of the tunes from it were run into the ground by commercial radio. It just seemed too pop-y for me. It was a very successful album though.

Reply #80 - 11/02/9 at 19:04:28 I don't blame you... it was the beginning of their 'departure trilogy' that seems to have thrown a lot of fans... Are you a fan of Zooropa or Pop?
