I like Hut Dab, it's an underrated album.

Or Stacsi for short.
I like GOOYOW.
Prefer this to silliness like RBW...
The single worst trend in interference history was when these wankers started saying Hut Dab - the agreed upon spelling of the pronunciation of the acronym for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
I remember being told by someone the reason why they were referring to the album as Hut Dab
I also vividly remember needing every ounce of restraint in my body to keep from putting my fist through the computer screen
I mean they’re the same concept.
At lease we avoided “Null Auth”.
Um it's obviously just Pee. Acronyms. DuhAt this point I'm waiting for somebody to admit they pronounce Pop Pee-Oh-Pee
Um it's obviously just Pee. Acronyms. Duh
It was probably you, ay-ex-vee-ee-arrrrrrrI fear I had a part in this. In fact...
...was this me, and does our scheduled fight have a very long prehistory?
It's "en-loth" and I have definitely said that out loud.

Veering just a bit back to the production discussion, I can’t think of another artist who is either as insecure or tone deaf as to what their strengths and unique qualities are as U2 has been the last 15 years of so.
It’s really kind of odd, how we almost wish they would just bring their ideas and play, and let someone else with a great ear put an album together, or decide when it’s done because we can’t trust them!
Can anyone think of another artist that deals with this to the same degree as U2??
I mean... Coldplay probably.
It’s been so long that Coldplay released a worthy album that you’d think so, but all their albums have been smash hits with their target audience so they are very savvy and know what they’re doing to play to the crowds.
Sadly, U2 are largely the musical equivalent dads trying to act cool when creating those wretched singles - like those ones who go into Tesco and buy Ed Sheeran records to look trendy. I don’t like Coldplay’s latter stuff, but they succeed with it and know how to do it.
U2, when trying to look all youthful and trendy by hiring talentless teeny bop duds like Tedder and releasing shite like The Best Thing About Me, just end up being embarrassing. When they go into this full blown mid life crisis mode, it’s as far away as possible from the mystique and spiritual nature of the same band who released The Unforgettable Fire.
I like their song, Magic
Ghost Stories was unique, and came from the heart. I’m not crazy about it, but I sure do respect it and wish they would’ve kept going with that rather than their heaping pile of shit that is their most recent album.
A Sky Full of Stars was mildly popular, so they followed that direction. In reality it is a steaming turd that was wildly out of place on that album.
Well there's a lot of gray area between being outshone by a guest, and burying the guest so far in the mix you can't even hear them. I'm still confused why they even bothered ringing up Lady Gaga.
And what's even more odd is that they featured Lykke Li so much more prominently on The Troubles just an album earlier. Lykke did a fantastic job, but imagine Gaga getting to share that lead vocal, and releasing it as a single. Could have been pretty big. Summer of Love may not have had the same potential, but it could have been executed a lot better with the mixing and arranging.
