I think the biggest issue isn't that it auto-downloaded, although that is unacceptable, but just how bad the album is considering they spent five years working on it. Inarguably U2s worst album to-date. Do something interesting. Musically they are mega boring now. An acoustic album? Who knows. Certainly a change anyway. These songs lack creativity. Leonard Cohen at 80 is releasing some of the most interesting albums of his life. As is Joni Mitchell in her elder years. As did Johnny Cash. Come on, U2, excite us. Joni Mitchell has said the reason she never has creative blocks is she paints when she's not songwriting. And Johnny and Leonard also paint/ed when not writing songs. Bono's philanthropy and AIDS work are surely noble, but seemingly aren't conducive to being creative musically.
