Miami, the 8th track on the 1997 album pop, is by common consent a song you either love or hate; its one of the most experimental, 'out there' songs U2 has ever made. It has a trip rock style and begins with a drum loop, with Mullen's hi-hats playing backwards through a very extreme equalization filter. Howie B (one of the albums producers) explains, "The main groove is actually just Larry's hi-hat, but it sounds like a mad engine running or something really crazy -- about as far away from a hi-hat as you can imagine.
