abbreviation for album name

[sharky]

So what are we going with? I didn't mind ATYCLB but we can do better this time. What about "Atomic Bomb" or just "Da Bomb" [as in Dismantle Atomic Bomb]? I just don't want to use HTDAAB when it's so easy to use the noun in the title.

 

[U2girl]

I'll just call it Dismantle.

 

[u2ulysses]

Most likely people will just call it "Atomic" as an abbreviation.

 

[martha]

Depends.

Could be Atomic.

Could be a Bomb.

 

[Tomer]

ill call it atomic bomb
AB that is...

 

[Buck]

A-bomb

 

[Lancemc]

i personal am drawn to calling it Atomic Bomb. it's just alot easier. i mean, it's easier than saying the whole name, it's easier to type than the whole name, hell it's even easier to type then remembering h.t.d.a.a.b.
plus, i like it better than just the one word ones like Dismantle, or Atomic, or Bomb.

so, Atomic bomb it is! and if not that then i think you should be forced to use "How to dismantle and Atomic bomb" because it really is such a cool title.

I don't mind the abbreviation -- as a matter of fact, an article making the rounds about radio callers guessing the title after having been given the abbreviation is quite entertaining.

My favorite?

"Have They Done Another Achtung Baby?"

[babyman]

why not "the new u2 record which they called how to dismantle an atomic bomb, with eleven tracks and maybe even a bonus track?"........it's a good abbreviation

 

[beli]

Atomic

 

[indigo tree]

A-bomb

 

[beli]

A-Bomb and HTDAAB are both difficult to type whilst breastfeeding.

Besides A- bomb sounds like "a bomb" ie a crap album to me.

 

[Tomer]

why dont they just pick a normal name?

 

[Salome]

Adam


(a dismantling atomic mofo)

 

[shart1780]

I've been calling it Atomic Bomb.

 

[mikal]

just call it "mikal" in reference to my coolness.

if the album sucks, call it "henry".

 

[Joshua_Tree_Hugger]

"Atomic Bomb" comes most naturally to me

 

[Numbology]

DNO

da new one

 

[Axver]

Hut dab.

 

[boosterjuice]

The "How to" album

 

[The Sage]

i'll probably end up just calling it htdaab, or maybe atomic. Or maybe something completly different...

 

[U2dork]

I agree with Axver. It's the hut dab album for me as well.

 

[nurse chrissi]

The early press reports have being calling it "atomic" - which is what I'm hoping for the tour

 

[victor_f]

the 'how to' album...
sounds like a manual.

 

[shart1780]

Most people will probably call it "U2's new album" for a year or two.

 

[babyman]

the 'how to' album...
sounds like a manual.

in fact! how to......dismantle an atomic bomb! it must be definitely a manual!

 

[DaveC]

On that note...if it is HTDAAB, do we pronounce it "H-T-dab"? or like "hit-dab"? Or something else entirely?

I konw some people who pronounced ATYCLB "at-ee-culb", "at-ah-clab", "at-ee-clib", "ah-tie-culb", and any number of other variations.

 

[achtung davy]

Joshua_Tree_Hugger i like your flag

 

[Numb1075]

I'll just call it Solar

 

[neutral]
