Just when we thought the alleged worst band ever couldn’t possibly get allegedly worse, U2 went and proved us wrong with the sneaky release of its new album “Songs of Innocence.” Don’t want it? Too bad, you probably already own it and don’t even know it.

Just when we thought the alleged worst band ever couldn’t possibly get allegedly worse, U2 went and proved us wrong with the sneaky release of its new album “Songs of Innocence.” Don’t want it? Too bad, you probably already own it and don’t even know it.

Depending on how your iCloud settings are arranged, the album is most likely there in your Music app along with all of your other purchases taunting your palatable street cred and salting a hard-earned game.

Earlier today TechCrunch reported that, “Worse yet, it’s rather difficult to rid your phone and iTunes account of the album.”

And the tech-savvy site is right; it’s not really something that anyone can delete. Users can hide the songs, thankfully, from the local iTunes account, but they will still remain all up in your iCloud, forever, and ever, and ever. It’s all Bono, all the time, watching over you while you sleep. It’s creepy, and frankly pretty intrusive.

The band made the announcement of the new album next to Apple CEO Tim Cook at press conference for the exaggerated iPhone 6. "Wasn't that the most incredible single you ever heard?” Cook asked after U2 premiered one of its new tracks live.

"The question is now,” Bono replied to Cooks poorly rehearsed oration, “how do we get it to as many people as possible, because that's what our band is all about…I do believe you have over half a billion subscribers to iTunes, so, could you get this to them?"

"If we gave it away for free," Cook replied, probably knowing full well that the masses would not, in fact, want to purchase anything from this band, and that the only way they would own it would be to force-feed it without anyone the wiser.

Then with a simple push of a button, your privacy was invaded, your phone was manipulated and your life was altered forever with no possibility of a return to normalcy. You, me, him, her, them, everyone who owns an apple iPhone or iPad is now, against all wills, an owner of U2’s disastrous form of art.

What we wouldn’t give for Ebola right about now…
