September 9, 201411 yr Crazy. At the new iPhone6 press conference, U2 announced that they are giving away their album for free to iTunes customers which is basically everyone (over 500m people as Apple say) until October! Mass amount of people trying to download the album at the same time. Captain Crieff posted a link which is below. It appears, according to people on Twitter, the album is automatically downloaded and added to your iTunes library, whether you like or not! :D https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewFeature?id=916841188 Its sent a shockwave across the music industry with one of the world's biggest bands releasing an anticipated album like this for free :o Discuss the new album here once you have listen to it!

September 9, 201411 yr Also interesting: 'Remember Us?' A letter from Bono, on the arrival 'of our new baby' - Songs of Innocence. http://www.u2.com/news/title/remember-us
September 9, 201411 yr Meh. iTunes claims I've already 'purchased' it, but my iTunes music library says no. :/
September 9, 201411 yr ''If you like Songs of Innocence, stay with us for Songs of Experience. It should be ready soon enough'' So another U2 album coming soon?!

September 9, 201411 yr Author Its seriously one of the best PR coups ever, its hilarious and in a moment, as a U2 fan (second fav to Coldplay) I will listen to an album i've been waiting years and years for, best day ever :D
September 9, 201411 yr I love how everyone just stopped caring about the phone and the watch, it's perfect :awesome: :awesome:
September 9, 201411 yr Author That watch is such a gimmick, nothing more innovative than what Sony and Samsung were doing already a few years before :D Plugging it to my classic 80gb ipod now then I will be getting a lot of complaining neighbours tonight haha :)
September 9, 201411 yr Meh. iTunes claims I've already 'purchased' it, but my iTunes music library says no. :/ you have to go to your purchased album and download the album
September 9, 201411 yr just started listening to it! great so far... noticed Chris gets a thank you in the digital booklet!
September 9, 201411 yr That watch is such a gimmick, nothing more innovative than what Sony and Samsung were doing already a few years before even the iphone. the Nexus 4 did pretty much everything the new iphone will do back in 2012!!
September 9, 201411 yr Okay so, never liked U2, hate Bono, but of course U2 songs are part of my life because they are U2 and their songs are catchy as hell. Ive never listened to a U2 album because id get bored out of their songs after few listens Of course its a good album, it has got loads of tunes, no weak song, but the problem is that its U2 we are talking about. This is an album that would be great and amazing and revolutionary if it was made by a debut indie band, but for someone like U2 this album is too unoriginal and weak and actually immature. The only songs that fit a band as old and huge as U2 are Iris, Raised By Wolves, Cedarwood Road and The Troubles (maybe my favourite from the album) Sleep Like a Baby Tonight is the only time in the entire album where they try a little bit harder to do something different but that different is actually nothing new and something tried by other younger bands years and years ago. Rating: if this was a debut album from a new band 9/10 but this is a U2 album so 6/10 Am I going to buy the album? Dunno if i see myself remembering the songs in my mind in the next days yes, if they disappear then no, all the songs were catchy, really really catchy and overall its a good album because all the song are great tunes and that should be a enough good reason to buy it but meh, pretty immature sound
September 9, 201411 yr Im so behind this now! But looking at your posts seem intriguing. I should prolly have a listen tomorrow when I am having a wifi on lol. I dont really listen to U2 that much but vertigo always gets me all the time.

September 9, 201411 yr Every Breaking Wave and The Troubles are my favourites at the moment. Honourable mention for the bassline in Volcano :drunk:
September 9, 201411 yr Just been sent the new U2 album by Chris Martin's kid.Can this day get any worse? :\ If I was in a better mood I might have a chuckle but tbh this fella is a douche saying that...though I'm in a shite mood so dont hate on me lol
September 9, 201411 yr Author Halfway through, The Miracle and Song For Someone are the standouts for me so far. Much better than No Line On The Horizon obviously :)
