I'm glad it exists, I'm glad they went full-speed ahead with some experimentation and saw where it landed. Now we don't have to wonder what could've been. It's not a great album, too little variation and it sometimes feels a bit clueless as to where it wants to go but there are some interesting tracks there. Your Blue Room, Miss Sarajevo and Slug for instance are pretty darn good.
I still listen to POP, but listened to PASSENGERS maybe twice. Totally agree w/Larry, "art for art's sake;" it ends up just being artistic masturbation.
Looking back, I really like the Passengers album. It's like Radiohead-esque before Radiohead starting that type of style. It just shows U2's flexibility. I do agree with Larry though, it was too artsy, and too egotistical.
Brings me to my knees" that was very funny!!!!! Iove that song too Elvis Costello does a great version of it. But the original is better of course. If your a guy and want to get laid you should play "Please it helps (lol).

The Passengers album was a brilliant beautiful album. I've always loved it. One of the best things that U2 ever did

For me pop was a good album, But another 6 months in the studio with eno/lanois it would have been a brilliant album.

I actually love this little bickering between Bono and Larry especially how Bono tells him to get out of the left side of his brain. lol
btw I loved POP
