How can such a "well oiled machine" be so piss poor when rolling out certain elements of their new album?
Things that make you go
Why not have the website updated to at the very least some sort of temporary setup that reflects the new album/single not some five year old graphics and theme.
Who's idea was it to announce that the single would not be available for download until February the 15th, who's the genius that thought that was a good idea in the first place? so after all the news outlets gave U2 a shit load of free advertising the past week U2 corp. gives out bad info.
This one they may not be able to control but the way the whole itunes chart thing works is really going to hurt them. Having the two copies of GOYB hovering on the top 30 where if they had them combined it would be breaking the top ten and as far as itunes goes once you break the top ten the sales are expediently bigger due to the exposure the top ten gets. Maybe they don't care about chart positions and sales anymore and if thats the case that's cool but i have a hard time believing that.
Is it that hard to send out one image of the album cover ?
When using someone else's non original art work how do they not ask the question " Mr. Sugimoto, has this image been used on any other albums" or for that matter are we going to see this image on a poster at ikea next year?
I could go on and I know its kind of nitpicking but they've had 4 years to get this shit ready, Paul McG needs to start busting some balls and get this straight.
