Overall, "Zooropa" is not the place for casual fans to start their U2 collection.
Zooropa was originally supposed an EP to coincide with the last leg of their Zoo TV Tour.
It is a truly inspired song and makes Zooropa a truly special effort and asks the question, how many artists could come up with an album this impressive when it was looking to just fill some time in the studio in between tour dates.

Zooropa is an album by the Irish alternative rock band U2.
Zooropa continued U2's experimentation with electronica, techno, and other predominantly European forms of music first demonstrated on the album's predecessor, Achtung Baby.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Zooropa
Zooropa is, to date, U2's most experimental and complicated record.
Zooropa is an album of non-identical songs, juxtaposed to give this one absolutely vague-sounding record.

 The iPod Observer - Music Reviews - Zooropa
Eschewing the standard anthemic sound for which U2 is known for deep electronic textures and powerfully distant production, Zooropa begins with a series of noncommittal commentaries on the newly minted convergence of media in the early 90s.
More surreal than the bizarre sounds coming from these songs, the second half of Zooropa is an exploration of personal anguish that smoothly transitions from sardonic to painfully devastating, and is capped off by an appearance by Johnny Cash singing the part of Christ as a drifter.
I guess Zooropa holds a special place for me because it's the last U2 album I bought or cared to own, but a lot of it is a disappointment.

Zooropa is okay, but I don't like the German language that is being spoken.
It has an industrial feel in "numb" and "daddy's gonna pay..."; a dance floor feel in "lemon"; a classical feel in "the first time"; and an otherworldly feel in "zooropa" and "the wanderer." But this inability to classify it musically matches the ambiguous lyrical themes throughout the album.

 CD Musicali U2 - Zooropa - Rapporto - Zooropa, un affetto particolare in dooyoo.it
Zooropa è stato il primo cd degli u2 che ho acquistato qualche anno fa appena uscito prima di completare tutta la loro discografia e di amare la loro musica in maniera impressionante.
Zooropa non è brutto, è fatto di canzoni molto carine e può anche piacere a chi magari non ha mai ascoltato questa band, ma coloro che li conoscono bene e li amano da tanto sanno che quella non è la loro musica, non è il loro capolavoro.
Il resto però viaggia al di sotto sulla mediocrità e si vede che non ha avuto grande successo visto che gli stessi non hanno cantato canzoni tratte da quell'album nel pop mart tour e hanno abbandonato quello stile musicale.

Fans looking for vestiges of the old, JOSHUA TREE-era U2 are essentially left empty-handed, though the gorgeously spare and melancholy "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" does touch on their earnest earlier sound.
ZOOROPA truly gets going with the fascinatingly droning "Numb," which features the Edge on lead vocals and stands as the most adventurous single that the Irish quartet has ever released.
Although, ZOOROPA is often overlooked, it's an ambitious record that marks a crucial point in U2's evolution.
