Re: Apple mainlining the new U2 album to everyone:

I went to Apple’s U2 page looking for instructions on how to download the new album, thinking that was going to be the way to get it.

When I read the page and saw that they were going to essentially force download it to everyone, my first thought was “This is going to cause a shitstorm.”

As for the album itself? Eh, it’s U2. Not horrible, not a ground breaker. What’s been an eyeopener is how many people on the Internet hate U2 with the power of a thousand burning supernovas.
