[elevated_u2_fan]

Songs of Innocence... wat

 

[BoMac]

Will the album be called Songs of Innocence?

 

[lazarus]

That's..boring.

But they're obviously going for a very raw, direct approach.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

[BoMac]

Big leap from Songs of Ascent.

Apple must have paid them a shitload of money. That is a lot of lost album sales.

I doubt that. Apple didn't need them for this launch. Had Tim Cook made a big deal about Beats Music today, maybe. But he barely mentioned the service or the headphone tech.

 

[Hewson]

U2 needed Apple much more than the other way around.

May have been a brilliant move.

Everyone will be talking about them, at any rate...not sure how that turns into anything more, but it's definitely all over social media.
