Gone is the real pop gem on the album for me, but I also think songs like "Do you feel loved", "if you wear that velvet dress", "wake up dead man" and "Miami" are basically good.

In general, Pop is way too pop for my tastes, but that goes most of U2's output.
Definitely not horrible, as you pointed above they do have some fun songs in that mediocre set

just a massive disappointment due to poor execution of ideas.
