Ordinary Day

You'd think, yes. That seems like the sensible thing to do. Or creating buzz about the album before the promo began. Maybe they were banking on people discussing how awesome it is that a big name like U2 gave us (all of us) stuff for free?

I rarely check out the promos. If I hadn't seen you, a third party, talking about the album, I would probably have missed the promo entirely. And now that I know about it I'm unhappy with the way the promo was handled. My parents would probably like the album, but they use the itunes store even less. If I needed to hear about it from a third party, they don't stand a chance.

I'm just... baffled that someone thought running a promotion the way it's apparently been/being run was a good idea.
