[@Aygo84]

As years go by, the clearer it gets that Pop was criminally underrated (including by the band itself who keeps on ignoring the album from setlists, reissues, on interviews, etc.). Unlike many U2 songs from the past 20 years, most songs from Pop actually still sound kind of fresh. "Discothèque", specially in this version, has a great groove, an addictive meeting of different types of distorted and processed guitars, very interesting.

[@mwesselkamp2063]

It also has a great guitar riff, i think one of The Edge's best. Check at 1.06

[@jlwilder8436]

All true. So true... POP was a very cool album. MoFo was probably the most unbelievable song on it (and I remember Bono even saying (way back then) that it was his favorite song they'd ever done... boy, how he's changed his 'tune' on that, huh?). And Please might've been the most 'U2' song on it and IT was great! Zooropa is still probably my FAVORITE thing they did back in that decade and Lemon most of all -back when they really were the best; but all of it was awesome, and since they released the Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack (which had some great songs on it) back in 2000, they've never been close to what they once were. 😕

[@klausuberhauser4303]

They were pretty unhappy about the production process of the album. Maybe they have some sort of trauma haha

[@Aygo84]

@@klausuberhauser4303 That's one of the problems of XXI century U2 for me: the trauma of Pop lead the band to the irreversible vision of overproduced/overwrote songs over and over until today. The magic of Pop was exactly the opposite: songs that have interesting production techniques but that are raw as songs, that show the songs in its pure forms (maybe "Miami" or "Please" were underworked, but "Gone" or "Mofo" were a nice painiting mixing raw with heavy).

Basically, Zontar82 & vanillacaffelatte, it isn't even that they went "downhill" from there... It's more of a choice that they seemed to make that pleased many millions and bothered many of (the rest of) us, which was: easy/predictable "popularity". They were unique & cool & exciting in the 90s (their 30s) and by 2000 they each had tremendous wealth and fame (Bono especially), and rather than saying that for that reason alone they could 'afford' to keep going in new/original directions creatively, they would get rid of the effects, the experimentations, and competing with a fearlessly adventurous band like Radiohead and happily settle for commercial success and lots of radio PLAY and leaving all of 'us' to reminisce about U2 USE TO be, while going back to satisfy their fans from the 80s who didn’t go along for the ride in the 90s. (We'll always have: Passengers, and Pop, and Zooropa!}; )

This kind of revolutionary songs and video have made today’s U2 , cult band _ wish they could go back to their best past ❤

I saw the pop show in Montpellier with friends… it was… epic. Big crowd, big screen and all the members at the top. Thanx U2.

Some fans say... that this entire album was a mistake. Others say, its simply a masterpiece. All we know is that they are called U2

[@DS91284]

Probably their masterpiece album imho. Peak 90s. Experimental sounds. Experimental colours. What's not to love?

POP has been an epic album! It was 1997 when I’ve heard this song for the first time but when I hear it, it’s ever fantastic! Let’s go…..discotheque…..❤

Meu Deus!.foi um tremendo sussesso, em são Paulo, em 98, que tempos bons,e me da uma saudade daqueles anos......

[@rebeccavoss8801]

This song kicks ass. Reminds me of when I lived in Phoenix, when the album was current. I went out dancing a lot then.

I remember vividly the days this song was released. I was HOOKED on the riff and the groove while my friends and my sister were dissing it like - oh we cannot like this. I asked why and they were like "well, discotheque... just the name alone isn't right for U2, too techno". How wrong they were then and especially now. This song is a banger. Has at least 3 fantastic riffs and incredible groove.
