And nothing says "artistic integrity" like an official U2 Special Edition IPod™! They won't be the greatest band ever until there's a U2 Official Breakfast Cereal, though.

Also, every album they've released since 1993 has been their "comeback" album. I can't wrap my head around this concept; perhaps someone from the world of rock journalism or the PR industry can help me with that one. You put an album that sucks, or you go away for a while, and THEN you release your comeback album. The collective homonculus of music journalists pee their ironically hip corduroys every time a U2 record comes out, as if they didn't write a thesaurus-powered faux-intellectual dissertation on the previous album. But somehow, the previous bladder-constricting album has been deemed sucky in retrospect, and this new one is their comeback album. I can't figure that out.

But U2 is a pretty good band.
