Nick do you like Outkast? If you do, I'll leave The Hive. I can't take this bullshit anymore.
(Oh yeah, and "ATM machine", like anything from the Department of Redundancy Department, makes me murderous. Excusing bad, redundant writing as artistic licence is the last refuge of the blind apologist.)
What the heck is the Hive??
I have no idea either.
I'm not so satisfied. He forgot to mention Passengers and Electrical Storm. Major omissions.
But I like the irony that the person he quoted (the OP) actually loves Pop.
Thank you, Nick! I couldn't have described our credos so succinctly myself.
None of that applies to wannabees.
Don't give up hope...there's always community college.
does that help me regain my Hive membership?

You didn't answer my question about Outkast.
This actually hurts my eyes.
If I point out that there are our Queen Bee, Axver, favors the 80s to the 90s, One is soaring through Survivor without a real challenge so far, LWTSH is not, and Acrobat wasn't even considered by Interference to be in the top third of Achtung Baby, does that help me regain my Hive membership?
The Hive is a collective on Interference that "assists" other members in determining how to think about U2 and their music.
For example, upon coming to Interference, you may have thought that 80's U2 was superior to 90's U2; or you agree with the band that Pop was a mistake; or perhaps you foolishly thought "One" was a good song, maybe even better than LWTSH; you may have believed that somewhere, sometime, a song was recorded by someone that is better than "Acrobat"; perhaps you believe the band, their record label and their representatives when they say the reissue of Achtung Baby was not remastered; maybe you judged U2's music on its merits using your own individual taste, and not on how obscure it is and whether it was pulled out of mothballs for the most recent tour; or perhaps you have other things to do in your life other than to hang out in the Random Music Threads, jacking up your post count.
If you naively believed any of these "incorrect" thoughts, The Hive will help educate you.
The most important part of Hive membership, however, is to vehemently insist that your opinions are your own and that you're not influenced by others. You may even deny sharing any opinions with other Hive members. The stronger you do this, the more likely it is you're a member. Oh, and you have to take comments about The Hive way, way too seriously. If it's easy to get you worked up, you're probably a member.
Stay here long enough, and eventually you'll be assimilated. Otherwise, you're free to make up your own mind. While you have one.
easily their best since AB.
Are you sure about the Acrobat part? IIRC, trying to get rid of that song in the latest Song Survivor was like trying to box a zombie. Hit it with everything you have, but it keeps coming forward, drooling and uttering "BRAAAIIINNNSSS!"
my views on it haven't changed much- the first and third quarters of the album are brilliant- the middle section (CT, GOYB, SUC) is rubbish- although GOYB and CT were great in the live show.
GOYB in any form
I was trying to think if there's one good aspect of the song but not a one redeeming thing comes to mind.

The problem is definitely not in the rhythm section.Submarine is used in the lyrics
Larry has some cool fills
Yes, and just like LASER, and RADAR, and SCUBA, and AMEX and WIFI and UFO and AWOL and SNAFU and MODEM and dozens of other acronyms are today commonly used as words. No one blinks an eye when ESPN is referred to as a network. Or when people say PAC center, as you pointed out. It's stupid, move on.
Of all the inanities in some of Bono's lyrics, why some people choose to fixate on this is truly bizarre.
