Surprise Album Drops

I'm listening to the new Rolling Stone podcast--does any entity or person
not
have a podcast these days?--and, spurred by Rihanna's
Anti
, they're discussing surprise album drops. At this point, we've seen albums with little or no notice from Radiohead, Rihanna, U2, Earl Sweatshirt, Beyonce, and Wilco, to name a few.
What are opinions here about the surprise drops? Like them? Hate them? Not care either way?

I'm all for them - no harm in a little surprise every now and then- as long as word gets out amongst the community ASAP. Didn't know a thing about the BB Live in Chicago until someone posted here about it...

I don't mind it. Although, I think U2 did it the wrong way where it just appeared on folks' iTunes accounts.
But, I will always prefer tangible product as opposed to downloads.

Speaking of the tangible product angle, the surprise album phenomenon would be much harder--and maybe impossible or rare enough to be NOT a phenomenon at all. It's one thing to create your album in some secrecy and release the digital version without warning, but planning such a feat while dealing with manufacturing, printing, shipping, stocking the stores, etc... good luck.
