The SPIN article speaks negatively of the zooropa album but then says it's hard not to be nostalgic for it. It criticizes lemon before praising it, then praises numb, some days, stay and zooropa itself. It describes the back half of the album as being less than the first half but then says it compares to the Joshua Tree in that regard. It is on the fence about the wanderer - so overall it's hard to see which parts of the album inspired such a negative review. They mention 6 of the albums 10 songs in either positive, neutral or half and half tones. I suppose they truly hated daddy's gonna pay, baby face, dirty day and the first time ....
