U2 at their best!

Review Score: (10/10)
POP is, in my opinion, a crowning achievement for the band. This CD has everything you could possibly want in a U2 album. Great lyrics. Great songs. Great guitar riffs from the Edge. It's their most underrated album, and it's a shame. It's an album of many emotional layers. Here's a breif overview of the songs with ratings:

1. "Discotheque" - Great opener. Definately a good dance tune. 10/10

2. "Do You Feel Loved" - I love this song it's great. Fantastic lyrics. 10/10

3. "Mofo" - Best example of Bono's lyrical genius. 10/10

4. "If God Will Send His Angels" - A great example of how diverse this album is. 10/10

5. "Staring At The Sun" - What can I say? Another great song from an already great album. 10/10

6. "Last Night On Earth" - Awesome rock tune! Killer riff from the master, The Edge. 9.5/10

7. "Gone" - I like the intro to this great song. 10/10

8. "Miami" - Good rock tune. 9/10

9. "The Playboy Mansion" - See above.

10. "If You Wear That Velvet Dress" - I think this song is great, and so will you. 10/10

11. "Please" - Best song of the album. The modern day "Sunday Bloody Sunday" 10/10

12. "Wake Up Dead Man" - Good closer to U2's forth masterpiece!

Do yourself a favor and get this album and any piece of music U2 puts out there. *POP* is a journey, a rarity that takes you from reality, and sweeps you up with it's sonic sounds and blazing brilliance. Get it!!!!!!
