You too?

Oh dear! Not only is the new U2 single 'Get on your boots' awful (a poor White Stripes riff jazzed up to sound like Muse and lyrics like 'Subterrean Homesick Blues' re-written by a four year old) they have also been accused of copying the artwork from Richard Chartier and Taylor Deupree's 'Specification.Fifteen' for new album 'No line on the horizon'...

Both covers are based on photographs by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. I would say it's just a coincidence but you would think a band as big as U2 would do some research before making such a faux-pas...
