What? Did you suddenly stop listening after Rattle and Hum? Because if you did you missed several GREAT albums--different, yes, but GREAT. Granted, if you didn't like the direction U2 went with their new sound, of course you'll dislike their work in the 90s, but it still doesn't make it bad. Critically speaking it's much better than anything they did in the 80s, clearly more groundbreaking, and everything down to the songwriting had improved. In my opinion, Achtung Baby is their best album, and Pop has to be the most underrated album of their career.
They're still a great band, 25 years after they started as a punk outfit in Dublin.
