CLASSIC ALBUM REVISITED: U2 - POP, XS Noize

In March of 1997 U2 released their much anticipated ninth studio album POP, for fans and critics alike it quickly became their most polarizing release. There is a prevailing feeling that POP has become the orphan child in U2’s discography. The band seems to have all but abandoned playing songs from the album in concert. In many ways it has become the album that dare not speak its name. I have never understood the negative feelings towards the album which I find artistically the equal of many of the band’s prior works and not as it is commonly characterized a career misstep.
