U2- Songs of Innocence (w/ Ashleigh and Maggie of Rock Candy)

On this week's episode of Make it Stop we continue to rail against insufferable, self-important celebrities who take themselves way too seriously, this time taking aim at U2 and their 2014 album Songs of Innocence, which was famously auto-downloaded to every iPod in America without consent. That being said, it's not too terrible of an album, with some really standout songs along the way, lots of Bono falsetto, some cool storytelling, and the Edge's trademark echoey guitar sounds. There's also the many, many songs that sound like U2 from the 80s fed through an Imagine Dragons filter, which predictably blow. Helping us dig through the manure to find the diamonds are our dear friends Maggie and Ashleigh of the Rock Candy Podcast, our sister show (and fellow Pantheon fam) with the common stated goal of "making fun of assholes". We do the best we can and have a blast with lots of laughs and unnecessary rambles about Bono's sex life (and his canon relationship with Enya). Part of the Pantheon Podcast Network.
