Remember back in September 2014 when Apple forcefully gave everyone the garbage that is U2's Song's of Innocence? I remember, and like many other people, I removed it as soon as I could. Life was good again. That is until now, the iTunes 12.2.2 update somehow restored this unwanted 'music' in my iTunes collection.

Right after the update iTunes restarted and informed me that it was going to start a download, this seemed suspicious to me.

Surely enough looking at My Music, the U2 album was back. It's like a zombie, you just can't get rid of it!

I ended up just hiding this 'purchase' this time instead of using the SOI Removal Tool. Hopefully it stays hidden.
