| | Pop by U2 CD |
| | POP is a gifted, beautiful album; its chilling music and sneering soundscapes are the perfect vehicles for its cryptic, elliptical lyrics. | | | I'm genuinly moved by this album everytime I listen to it. | | | Like much pop music in the mid-1990s, POP is cobbled together out of buzzy synthesizers and reverberant keyboards, techno drum loops and funky live drums, guitars distorted into clouds of metal, vocals you sometimes have to work to hear, and songs that seek God and sex and other important stuff in the world's trash heaps. |

| | TAP: Web Feature: Pop Lives!. by Devin McKinney. March 1, 2004. |
| | A new album mixes Jay-Z and the Beatles. | | | A crazed, controlled hybrid of the Beatles' 1968 White Album and Jay-Z's 2003 Black Album, it's a breakthrough example of the mash-up, an emergent underground form in which fan-remixers use amateur-accessible computer software to combine existing recordings in new forms. | | | The White Album was an inspired choice of source beats and organizing riffs, seeing as it featured some of the earliest samples and proto mash-ups to ever reach the pop mainstream. |

| | Iggy Pop Album Reviews |
| | The band on this album isn't half as demented as any of the Stooges' line-ups, but they provide some excellent, occasionally hard-rocking music that makes it the most accessible Pop-related album up 'til then. | | | These songs aren't where the weight of the album is, though, as the longer songs leave more of a lasting impression, "China Girl" not in the least. | | | While too many naysayers have claimed that The Idiot was basically another Bowie album – albeit one with a guest vocalist – Pop's stamp on the album is unmistakeable. |

| | Crowded House Album Reviews |
| | Of course, as with all Crowded House albums it is Finn who dominates, and though this album isn't his finest moment from a songwriting standpoint, it doesn’t deserve its status as the forgotten Crowded House album. | | | Actually, both of those songs are somewhat slight musically, but that lighter touch is actually part of this album's appeal (and yes, it does hold together surprisingly well as an album), though the band's trademark moody textures, jangly guitars, and airy harmonies are all over the album as well. | | | Perhaps the album is also a few songs longer than it needs to be (the "hidden track" is terrible), but pop music doesn’t get much better than the gorgeous “Fall At Your Feet,” the delightfully breezy and romantic “Weather For You,” and the devastatingly moving “She Goes On,” a love letter to a dearly departed. |

| | Gwen Stefani - Could the charming, hyperactive kook really be our new pop queen? By Jody Rosen |
| | All of which leaves Stefani a hit solo album away from a place in the diva firmament. | | | Stefani has called these girls her muses, and they crop up everywhere, flanking the singer on her album cover, rescuing her from drowning in the "What You Waiting For?" video, and starring in several songs, notably "Harajuku Girls," the most extravagant piece of musical Orientalism this side of The Mikado. | | | Stefani's songs are deliberately cluttered and vulgar and swollen with pop clichés; it's an aesthetic of messiness, and to assail Love. |

| | Indie pop album deserves respect |
| | Even though the new album, Set You Free, is one of the best pop albums to be released so far this year, you won't find accolades heaped upon the band in Spin or Rolling Stone. | | | "On Warmer Music" also sets the tone for the album lyrically, decrying the invasion of the "self-satisfied smug rock nation." Though most of the band's previous songs are more personal and introspective, "On Warmer Music" pronounces a shift in tone musically and lyrically. | | | These new additions to their sound, which can sometimes prove to be overkill for other bands, do not clutter up the record. |

| | U-WIRE.com/CD REVIEW: Jessica Simpson's sister releases mediocre pop album |
| | The album is basically a mix of every woman rocker from the past 10 years mimicked by a singer who might be more respectable once she finds her own style. | | | The most original and powerful song on the album is the first single, "Pieces of Me," which steals the show with catchy lyrics that sound like they might actually be Ashlee's creation. | | | The only time the album is autobiographical is on "Shadow" where she bemoans that she's "living in a nightmare" because her big sister became a star first. |

| | OMD: album reviews and ratings |
| | This is the follow up album to their self-titled debut, and is a great improvement on it. | | | Although the album concealed some fine pop songs, its lack of critical and commercial success was perhaps responsible for OMD taking a more conservative approach in the future. | | | Blending choral effects and wistful melody the album produced three classic singles: Souvenir with its bittersweet Humphreys vocal, the religiously inspired Joan Of Arc and its epic follow-up Maid Of Orleans. |

| | Their new Atlantic Records album Maroon is clearly derivative of ‘60s and early ‘70s pop, and solid arrangements, sound and group playing really helps to strengthen the whole album. | | | The album is filled with one great catchy and memorable song after another. | | | Never a real for the masses kinda pop band, Shoes were always a solid favorite among the power-pop coterie and well into the ‘90s they were releasing tasty platters as well as running a top pop label known as Black Vinyl Records. |

| | The album continues with a sound that’s equally lush, edgy and crooning, with plenty of drawn out “ooh’s” from Holmes, and a combination of ’80s synth and mid-’90s electronica. | | | Holmes promises that the next album, which is written and now awaiting studio time, is going to be “as much of a pop album as ‘Thriller.’” | | | Following an ethereal spoken word interlude that feels oddly out of place, “Robots” closes the album nicely with an edgy guitar and vocals that depart from the rest of the album. |

| | With Pop, the man behind the Gas moniker, Wolfgang Voigt, brings some light to the haunting haziness of his previous album, Königsforst. | | | Yet even though the prolific German artist attempts to bring a sense of humanity to his austere music, Pop still immerses the listener into a alien domain of unearthly sound more dynamic that his previous musical journeys. | | | The epic songs loop endlessly in hypnotizing repetition as tiny alterations in the resonance and tone function as a means of increasingly disorientating the listener. |

| | This song was the "ballad" hit off of this album, and while I enjoy its combination of electronic effects and acoustic guitar, I have to admit it's one of my least favorites on the album. | | | Once again, a girl is the central character of the song, and I have to wonder if she's meant to be a central character of the album. | | | Another one of my favorite U2 songs kicks off the second half of the album, with squealing, siren-like guitar noise and a mid-tempo beat - it's an effective marriage of the band's electronic tinkering with Bono's more "soulful" side, and because of that, a little more hope is allowed to shine through. |

| | This self-titled debut album is the classic version of the Pop, their raw power certainly showing more Iggy Pop than the Cars sound, which their Arista debut, Go, forced on them. | | | The Pop's makeover on Arista was far more dramatic, a reason why this punky underground guitar driven' album is so important, and so much fun. | | | The big difference is that the Nervous Eaters album showed a different side of songwriter Steve Cataldo and was still, essentially, true to him. |
