(ISLAND 1997)
Underrated - not least by the band themselves, who consider it unfinished - but actually their most rewardingly enigmatic, even saturnine record, haunted by a(nother) crisis of faith and the absence of Bono's mother (she died when he was 14). The name, the gay pimp apparel and the PopMart tour's cheesy production design undersold the musical power and emotional content of Mofo and Wake Up Dead Man, while Discothèque has dated far, far better than a house holocaust with Howie B at the controls has any right to. The truth is, given their ease with uncomplicated mid-tempo grooves, the dancefloor suited U2 rather well.
