Surprise! U2 Drops New Album “Songs Of Innocence”

14/09/11 at 8.44pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

U2 Songs Of InnocenceBono and Company pulled a page out of the Frank Black book of surprises.  The Irish power-pop band surprised everyone on earth Tuesday morning, except those associated with inner circle at Apple Inc,  by dropping their latest studio album exclusively on iTunes.  U2 and Apple have teamed up for the world’s largest album release in history… allegedly.

However, much of the level of surprise came from the fact the album showed up on iPhones whether you wanted the album or not, and for free no less.  Internet and social media outrage is in full force, most of which is centered around whether the Heritage Act has the right to take up valuable space on one’s mobile phone.  On the other hand, the quartet has received positive reviews, and many fans appreciate the group’s generosity during these tough economic times.  What side of the fence are you on?

For those that do not possess an iPhone, simply log on the your iTunes account and download “Songs Of Innocence” for free.  Individuals without an ITunes account can wait until October 13 when the album receives a physical release.

Bone released this statement on the band’s website about the release:

“People who haven’t heard our music, or weren’t remotely interested, might play us for the first time because we’re in their library,” he writes. “And for the people out there who have no interest in checking us out, look at it this way… the blood, sweat and tears of some Irish guys are in your junk mail.”

“Songs of Innocence” tracklisting:

01 The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)
02 Every Breaking Wave
03 California (There Is No End To Love)
04 Song For Someone
05 Iris (Hold Me Close)
