Free Music Review: The Dark Side Of U2 Meets Brian Eno
Hit: 5 Stars
Zooropa can easily be seen as a natural progression in the band's musical evolution as rockers, social commentators and human beings, when examined through a religious and prog-rock grid.
actually, the heavily synthesized sound of this album is entirely appropriate because of its predominating subject matter, the alienation of modern man as a result of gross consumerism, technological dependence and moral declination.
there is also an interesting, yet subtle tension throughout many of the songs, a cry for both a natural balance in the world (and the self) and supernatural intervention; both of which have been upset or largely ignored on the surface.
musically, Zooropa offers many traditional blues-influenced ballads with the band's usual instrumentation while Brian Eno assists with a heavily syhthesized-yet-innovative sound that often chills and refuses to soothe.
the cd book inside is heavily colored and assaults the viewer with disturbing images distorted by a computer-imaging software program, and easily supports the theme of the overarching theme of the album.
one of my favorite U2 albums, this is a must-have album for fans of U2 and Brian Eno, but they may not know it yet...
Zooropa Poster
Following the band's Zoo TV tour, which took aim at consumerism and media overload, U2 brought those themes and the complex, futuristic sound of its preceding album, Achtung Baby, to their somewhat illogical conclusion on Zooropa, the group's most chaotic, cutting-edge work. The monotone techno-rap "Numb" leads the way, while "Lemon" offers reminders of David Bowie's Berlin trilogy of more than a decade before. Best of all is "The Wanderer," featuring a guest vocal by country-music icon Johnny Cash. His bottomless baritone sounds bizarre over burbling synthesizers, but Bono's trenchant lyric about a postapocalyptic seeker of sensation and experience before he repents nails Cash's legend at least as well as he ever has himself. --Daniel DurchholzSame as USA Version.
