Sounds fine so far.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 19:22 (ten years ago) link
Snap reaction: the fact that this is the real Bono and not any of a few dozen not-Bonos is a benefit to an album that's trying (albeit not too hard) to sound like all the bands fronted by not-Bonos.

The amazing song titles on "No Line on the Horizon" are what sparked the ILX precovers concept.

However "Songs of Innocence" is a terrible album name.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 19:36 (ten years ago) link
the next album is called Songs of Experience

U2′s new album being automatically added to our iTunes library is the most disgusting invasion of personal space by technology in history

when I got my first Mac in 2001 it came with some songs preloaded, including New Order's "Age of Consent", and I guess Apple did that? so not unprecedented ... though still it's 2010s we're talking about here
― Euler, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 21:30 (ten years ago) link
Wait, is this getting downloaded to our computers without us asking for it or do you have to click download to get it in your iTunes?
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 21:30 (ten years ago) link
You have to click download. (Note: you do not have to click download. No one is forcing you to listen to U2.)

A lot of harsh zings of a band that literally every adult has liked at some point in their lives.

If you're over 20 years old, you have liked U2 at some point.
the public should probably sue these fuckers but apparently a lot of the lawyers involved would be pro bono
― john wahey (NickB), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 21:52 (ten years ago) link
They should have a hidden track on this called Fuck REM

woah sell it to grantland, don't give it away for free
― da croupier, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 21:53 (ten years ago) link
I'm trying to think of any other band that I rallied around in the early 80s where I just do not care about a new release any more. REM got there too at the end, but I think I cared about them longer.
