The release of U2's album Songs of Innocence spawned jokes, backlash, and arguably, a worse music industry.

    I’m still surprised so many people had such a strong opinion. Though honestly it’s probably a “vocal minority” moment. I know myself and quite a few other people I talked to were “oh cool, free album”

      To me, “free album” is like a person handing out free CD’s on a busy sidewalk.

      This is more like my landlord going into my living room and putting a CD on my shelf.

      (Now someone will tell me about how my analogy is flawed, I don’t care, that’s how analogies work. It’s not the same, it’s an analogy.)
