Well that sure backfired. U2 was so sure everybody would be just lovin it! Not so much. U2 is an old act, still good, but for many consumers, this is what their parents used to listen to way back when.

His ‘apology’ was so laughable as to be a poster child for liberal apologies.

They were never good — but they hit a moment when whining disguised as singing and angst replacing meaning somehow rung a bell.
Luckiest no-talent group since Fabian.

I actually like the album. Not every song, but three fourths is actually very good. And I pretty much hate all their old stuff.
And the price was right!

After all this time, I could not name any of the other guys in U2 if my life depended on it, and they’ve been active for as long as Madonna. I would not recognize any of their faces either.

Just the album he apologized for? I know he does some good work but the whole band just rubs me the wrong way.

Seems to me the problem is Apple forcing the download to all iTunes users. If U2 wants to give away their music, that's their business. It's Apple that forced the download without offering an option.

So what’s to stop someone from hacking into apple and downloading something really bad to everyone’s iPhone?

As a longtime U2 fan, I was disappointed by the album. It definitely would have flopped if released on its own. Or it could be that the band just gave Apple a bunch of useless outtakes and are saving their better material for their next real album.
Sirius radio is playing the hell out of that "Miracle of Joey Ramone" single for some strange reason. It's an awful song.

Just be thankful it wasn’t a Justin Bieber album.
