I am a total U2 honk but I only really like one song so far- "Every Breaking Wave".

Interesting a news headline is labelling this free album as Apples '100-million dollar mistake' :-)

Apparently many are disturbed by this album appearing on their devices for no apparent reason. I think its a great gesture and good exposure for U2, however i think Apple / U2 should have just made it free to access voluntarily and not pushed it to clouded accounts, especially after people feel their icloud security is violated enough already.
