Unpopular opinion... I kinda liked that album. Well, not that much but it had a few stand out songs imo

I had no problem with the album, I just had a problem with the delivery of the album, I want the options n to download it for free, not being forced to have an album I'd never buy in my collection.

Wait did U2 do the same thing again?? Or is this an ancient meme?

Its ancient

This actually was a thing. Some updates rolled out with a certain U2 album cover (see other comments) for their screensaver. Happened to my far-right Christian mom, she just about had a heart attack over it (she's a homophobic bigot)...

for their screensaver

It is a wallpaper or even a background but definitely not a screensaver.

Just like when a computer does something that isn't Microsoft office, it's all AI to some people now.

Or even older, all games consoles being a Nintendo according to that one relative.

Some people simply don't care enough about something to learn the correct terms sometimes, which is a shame, but it is what it is

Apparently that’s what they call it now. We’re old for noticing.

No rush!!!

Looks like someone is doing some self-exploring.
