POPULAR beat combo, U2's new album, No Line On The Horizon, has been leaked on the web after someone stuck it on their online music store two weeks early.
Doughnuts at getmusic.com.au, stuck the Irish outfit's 12th album on download for a while this week, until someone noticed. But they didn't notice soon enough to stop the tunes popping up on Bittorrent and other file sharing services.
U2 fans rushed to the the Aussie site to get the album early and one of them must have stuck it on torrented it for his mates. µ

This would be the same U2 album that has already been partially leaked (albeit in bad-quality mono), when frontman Bono immodestly played it so loud in his home that a fan was able to capture it on their phone, later to be uploaded onto Youtube.
Could this recent leak be described as Bono "totally asking for it"?
You would have to pay me to own one of their pieces of crap. Bono is a liberal bonehead but not as bad as our idiot Bruce Springsteen here in the USA.
Guess Bono has a new crusade..... save the world from file sharing! LOL
I agree with the above poster, you couldn't pay me to get the album!
When U2 kept their mouth shut, they were ok..... but Bono had to open his mouth, and ruin it!
Keep your politics to yourself, and just play music!
Interesting... I didn't know The Inquirer attracts white trash teens...
...What a waste of bandwith....
