I feel an obligation to voice my opinion on the negative comments posted in a
recent edition of Wire.
"Now at this point some of you might think that 'Zooropa,' which came after
Achtung Baby defeats my theory, an album with no live cuts and all original
material. Nothing could be further from the truth. Those of you who follow
U2 know that they threw the album together quickly (not something they do when
they are ready to release a major album), and besides, do you really think
that a major U2 release would have Johnny Cash singing on it? U2 has released
seven major studio release in my opinion: Boy, October, War, UF, JT, AB, POP.
The rest is some extraneous fun for the fans. Whether in conjunction with a
movie (i.e., Rattle and Hum) or as an add-on to a current tour (i.e.,
Zooropa)."

In my opinion and I'm sure that other people share the idea that Zooropa is by
far the most creative album U2 ever made. The very fact that it was written
so quickly fueled the fire of innovation. Compare the lyrics of Zooropa and
POP. I'm sorry but the way I feel, if POP is a great album then Zooropa is
the one of the best of all time. I don't appreciate the crack on Johnny Cash,
he puts a great finishing touch on the album. Thanks for hearing me
out.......
