PopBitch 1,218 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Is anybody as into Sleep Like a Baby Tonight as I am? The duller-sounding youtube link doesn't do the exquisite sound production justice, but this song and melody and Bono's vocals is a mesmerizing trip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz0F1G8zNC0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky 39 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Gaga had mentioned releasing an album for free 2 years ago and change the way music is distributed.... Looks like Beyonce and u2 have beat her to the punch.... This could have been huge for her had she been the first.... Instead we got the ARTPOP app Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopBitch 1,218 Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I hate how Bono assumes that "pop" is a synonym for "bad". Bono has never felt that way. They made an album called Pop in the '90s, did a Popmart tour. Pop has gotten a bad name and has become identified with basic, generic music here in the U.S.. He's saying there's great pop out there, in other words, great music. In the UK, pop has never been a bad word. Bands used the word pop a lot when pop was innovative and just great melodies. Pop nowdays has so much watered down, generic crap that people look at pop as just that, and not as some truly great music out there under the "pop" label also that's just straight-up great music. At least, that's what I took from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The U2 rock fanbase reacted very badly to the Pop album. Rockers have been looking down at pop since the 60's for many contradictory reasons. Never mind that there has been plenty of generic corporate rock over the years.

LaLuna 12,732 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The thing is, they can afford to give their album for free, they know they're gonna make a buttload of money with their tour anyway. Plus, it's great promo for the band. Great move, if you ask me. I'm actually listening to the album right now, and I quite like it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Five Ten 70 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Downloading this not because I love U2 or the album, but because I love this release strategy and I really want free albums to become the norm in the industry, with artists paid by Apple/whoever in exchange for promo of their products.
