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

May 30, 2006: Largely regarded as U2's most experimental album, Zooropa is a mix of synthesizers, rock, and massive bass. The album was criticized for "not being U2", and some long time fans turned their backs. However, the album proved to be a glimpse into the future of music. Zooropa is definitely ahead of its time. ***POSITIVES - Ingenius! Johnny Cash guest stars on "The Wanderer" ***NEGATIVES - May be too experimental for fans of early U2. ***STAND-OUT TRACKS - "Zooropa", "Numb", "Lemon", "Stay (Faraway, So Close)"

February 16, 2005: I'm 40 years old and I've been a huge U2 fan since the early 80's. I've seen them in concert several times in the 80's, 90's, and this decade. I own all of their albums, except (until recently) Pop and Zooropa. Because of the critics and bad press I stayed away from these 2 albums until this year. Since I purchased Zooropa and Pop (about a month ago) I've listened to each one in it's entirety at least a dozen times. They are both excellent albums. My favorite songs on Zooropa are Babyface, Stay, Some Days Are Better, First Time, and Dirty Day, although they are all very good. U2 rocks and I can't wait to see them this May in Chicago. I have tickets for the Vertigo tour here in Chicago.
