An experimental masterpiece that is essential when talking about U2 in the 90s.
An ambitious work that boldly incorporates elements of electronics, industrial, and dance music, deconstructing and reconstructing the traditional image of stadium rock.
The fragmented phrases and commercial-like language of the title track "Zooropa" are a satire of modern society's information overload, while "Numb" takes an experimental approach, featuring spoken word. Meanwhile, tracks like "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" feature beautiful melodies, and a warmth of human emotion is evident within the cold, abstract sound.
