U2 Threatens to Release Album Early on iTunes
Uninvited Guest writes "After a rough cut of U2's latest unfinished album was stolen earlier this week, the band has vowed to release the entire album on iTunes if the music appears on P2P networks. Bono told the London Daily Telegraph, 'If it is on the Internet this week, we will release it immediately as a legal download on iTunes, and get hard copies into the shops by the end of the month.' Is this the exact opposite of the Smashing Pumpkins' last album, which the band rushed to release on P2P networks, before it could hit the stores?"
Just because someone is a complete moron does not mean you should invalidate everything he says. It is very possible a complete moron, through stupidity could say something smart.
Clever of you to leave out October from that list, which even fans of early U2 are forced to admit is total shit.
Pop is the worst album of their newer sound, yet I would still rather listen to it than War. Tracks like "Staring at the Sun" and "If God Would Send His Angels" invoke every bit as much passion as Sunday, Bloody Fucking Sunday, and were recorded after the band had learned how to play their instruments, rather than before.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
I thought they went out with mullets...
