I've listened to it and as a long time U2 fan I can assure you it is mediocre at best. Of course a mediocre U2 song/album is still better than most offerings from groups like Coldplay, Radiohead, or Journey. Still, it's a disappointment and likely only praised by those with little to no critical music chops. Sorry, OP.

OK?
Ha ha...sarcasm? That album sucks. Why do you think they're giving it away?
But what about the album?

Don't be sorry. I'm too busy enjoying this. (I love Radiohead too.)

Is it because EVERYONE pays for music these days, no matter how it is released? (There's sarcasm.)

They never went away. This is U2's 13th album.

Now I'm really sorry, loser.
People who are old enough to know who U2 is were befuddled, confused, and agitated by the record magically appearing in their iTunes application.
Kiddies who are comfortable with all the instant share auto information texty cloud shit are too young to know who U2 is.
I'm 52. I begged my wife to make me a cd because I don't have itunes.

You don't have iTunes? You must be 102, not 52.
F@CK itunes.

Do you mean "fuck" iTunes? And why would you say such a thing about the people who brought you this album you claim to love?

I have no idea what you are babbling about.
I'm sure George Bush loves it
Yes, that's what I meant. The cd will be in stores Oct 13 and I will buy it. itunes merely leaked it.

I don't understand this kind of attitude. Music is an emotional experience. Believe it or not, some people connect with certain bands because of the sounds they make.
I studied music in college, and I certainly have my own ideas of what is "good music" and what is "bad music." But that doesn't keep me from bobbing my head when a catchy tune reaches my ears.
Quit judging people because they have different taste than you.

So it's okay to judge the music as good or bad, but not the listener? The fact that the OP connects with bad music speaks volumes about him. And your hypocritical comment speaks about you, loser.

I don't remember you as being quite such a dick head. Are you changing your letsrun persona? Or is it merely the Skuj Effect.
