normanharvey 10 дек. 2018 г.
great album but in my opinion it s too experimental and you see the character of this album as an EP which was originally intended

Imo Zooropa was them at their peak. Solid tunes, plenty of electronic sounds, lots of experimentation (defo not Passengers but you can see how they came about). Pop a close 2nd and ATYCLB 3rd .... all 3 are belters but Zooropa nicks it.

Has aged well .....

I will tell you why this is album is worth all the way - "The Wanderer", with Johnny Cash,
and of course, Flood production. To me, the most interesting U2 album.
The rest of their discography I just ignore. Never liked U2 that much.

Nice album from a great band. But the most remarkable on this album is the.....title! One of the most apocalyptic words.....This is ZOOROPA!

Just purchased the pink vinyl 2010 re-issue. It sounds terrible. Does anyone have any information about how the 2010 version was pressed? A lot of sound detail has been lost, especially on the top end. This is my favorite U2 album. I would LOVE if the band decided to undertake
an official remaster of this album.

Any opinions on the best pressing of this album on vinyl? Any pressings to particularly avoid?

Their last great record, and my favorite U2 record. So rich, full of experimentation and diversity...

Of all the U2 albums i have listened too, this has had plenty of rotation in my cd-player than any others, more than 'The Joshua Tree' even. It,s very easy listenable. Plus its probably the first U2 album to flirt and experiment a great deal with electronic sounds. There is loads of quality on this like 'Lemon' and 'some days are better than others'.. Almost every song on this has a certain degree of quality and my personal favourite is 'Stay'.
I used to listen to this alot 5-6 years ago. And i recently pulled it out again. Suberb chilled-music, perfect to have in the background when you are doing something what ever it might be. Very underated too..
