Pop

Pop is U2's 1997 album that extends the band's 1990s experiments with electronic and dance textures, blending pop rock and alternative rock with prominent electronic beats, sampling and dense studio production. The record emphasizes processed guitars, programmed rhythms and club-oriented grooves alongside the band's melodic songwriting, making it one of their more sonically adventurous and experimental releases. Lyrically it continues Bono's introspective and topical concerns while the band pushed their sound into dance-rock and electronic territory.
