Completely agreed...It's actually shocking...U2 never intended to "force their album down people's throats". I've never seen so many people angry about something that is free, being offered on a free platform (iTunes). If you don't like it, set iTunes so it doesn't copy that album to your device, or use the tool to remove it, or just go onto your hard drive and delete it. Or turn off auto downloads. There are so many ways to make it OK, and I am sure U2 and Apple will not do this again. But holy ***, the backlash is like someone committed a terrible crime...The backlash is what appals me the most, not the mistake Apple made. Everyone makes mistakes and its difficult to please everyone when your running a large platform.
I for one am thrilled about this album. Been listening to it all weekend while I work. It's a great album and I'm glad I have it
