Gotta say, even though I enjoyed their balls, POP isn’t a great record, save for Mofo and VD. That said, it was their last hurrah before bono sold his soul.
Their trajectory was pure and clean up until that point. Everything since, has been an uneasy balance between the beauty and poetry of their early to mid period, and the bloated cash grab they subsequently became. Even so, we still catch glimpses of the magic with, for example, MOS, LIAWHL and Little Things and, for that, we should be grateful.
