About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

U2 planned to record a new EP before launching the European leg of their ambitious Zoo TV tour in 1993, but the EP quickly turned into the full-length album Zooropa. Picking up where Achtung Baby left off, Zooropa delves heavily into U2's newfound affection for experimental music and dance clubs. While the title track marries those inclinations to the anthems of The Joshua Tree, most of the record is far more daring than its predecessor. While that occasionally means it's unfocused and meandering, it also results in a number of wonderful moments, like the quiet menace of "Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car," and the space-age German disco of "Lemon," the Edge's droning mantra "Numb," and the gentle, heartbroken "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)," one of U2's very best love songs. As the album winds to a close, it drifts off track, yet the best moments of Zooropa rank among U2's most inspired and rewarding music. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

A Brave, Weird Albumby glauver

December 26, 2011: You have to respect U2 for not trying the same old thing. However, I have never been able to warm up to this album. The vocals seem to get lost in all the techno sounds and the songs seem to lack a strong viewpoint or uniting theme. The best number here is closing The Wanderer. Guest Johnny Cash rises above all the trappings and shows Bono and the gang how it should be done. This would be the start of The Man in Black's comeback, although nobody noticed at the time.
