I think it has some of Bono's best lyrics on it...and I think it was a nice departure for them. I also think that "Do You Feel Loved", "Staring at the Sun", "Gone", "Please" and "Wake Up Dead Man" are among the band's best tracks. Sure, it has some real clunkers on it, but pretty much every U2 album since Achtung, Baby has. If anything, this one has the least amount of filler. (Up to their new offering, which is probably their most solid effort since 1991. Minus the middle, of course.)
I just feel it's underrated because so many fans immediately list it as their worst album, when it's far from their worst. I'd take a colossal flop over an effort in mediocrity (R&H, Atomic Bomb) any day.
