That's because there aren't any similarites. I don't get it either.

I love Be Here Now, and I love Pop, but I don't really see the similarities....?

I really enjoy this album. Not really a big U2 fan but for some reason I really love the whole album. They made something beautiful.. but it was a problem :/

@Terrasidius Well since they didnt earn as much money as they were supposed to earn on 90s stadium tours - they had to abandon edgier electronic sound and go for US crowd pleasing albums that are more luctrative. Oh well, cant blame them... But strangely enough, there arent many bands today that undergo this journey. Hmmmm... a niche for upcommers. And you heard it here first. :D

U2's "Be Here Now" [2] Which is a good thing in my book.

The best U2 album. Don't get me wrong, they've done some great stuff since but nothing matches their 90's work, especially this amazing album.

If U2 wasn't so self-conscious and insecure...

It's annoying how on the 360 tour, they played songs from every other album except this one (unless you count a 30 second snippet of Discotheque).

I think it's pitiful and disgusting the band seems to be so ashamed of this era. Too bad, because they have much to be proud of. Pop is easily one of the U2's finest albums.

@LoveisInfinite: Considering that Pop was released before Be Here Now, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense...

I just want the 1980s / 1990s U2 back, the U2 who just made good music and were totally at ease with themselves and their process...end of rant... :)

...I think that this was the last album they did that was part of a natural evolution that started with their first album and ended with POP. Everything after that (whilst there have been moments of greatness in the noughties) has seemed to be delibarate and targeted at a specific "demographic", the mainstream US market...not that they werent aiming there before, it just seems that after POP they felt they lost a good deal of favour in the States, which has always seemed to be their favourite place, but I think thats all just them being paranoid, they sacraficed their sheer, "do what you want", "just make great music" selfs in favour of a more diluted, targeted approach whilst musically apparently trying to sound like the Joshua Tree era again, as this is what they obviously think the vast majority of americans want.

@hotterthanjuly - totally agree man, some people (maybe people who dont have the "creative spirit"; nothing wrong with that; just...) think that any artist should conform to what they like rather than do what the artists themselves want to do. and yes Zooropa is probably the bands most "experimental" album. Pop was a kind of return to the grand rock album but heavier (musically, and in a good way, like with the rythmn section who own this album), darker and incorporating elements of electronica / techno that was becomeing more popular at the time. I ADORE this album, it was my first U2 album and one of my first albums I bought myself. It really does feel like their last great record. I hope they rediscover that "thing" / way of thinking, that they deliberatly got rid of after this...

Totally underrated. [5] and i'd like to say even underrated by the band themselves. They don't play enough songs from this era. [2] Couldn't agree more

I would definetly agree with the statement that this is the “last great U2 album”.
