U2 Takes Us Behind the Scenes Of Its Surprise Album

U2 force-fed iTunes users with Songs of Innocence , its first album in five years, on Tuesday during Apple's iPhone 6 event. Now, the band is explaining the lead-up to the album's unconventional release

In a two-minute video posted to Twitter Thursday, U2 takes us inside the creation of the band's 13th studio album, which automatically appeared as "purchased" for half a billion iTunes users earlier this week.
