Apple is making a huge deal out of the fact that its giving away U2s Songs of Innocence to over 500 million people, but the actual reaction has — much like the reaction to U2s past several albums — been mixed, at best. Apple could have just put Achtung Baby in our libraries and been done with it, but instead we all woke up to a U2 shaped problem that a lot of people say isnt worth listening to. U2 is the first band I ever loved.
