HTDAAB / WORST: Best, Worst, Overrated

This entire album, save for Sometimes, is remarkable in its unremarkableness, a temple to blandness, except it’s actually offensive in its blandness whereas it could have simply been forgettable.

There is, in my opinion, something very wrong with this album. This is a band who got eaten by the monster, and that monster told them that this steaming turd was worthy of releasing and putting their names on it and proudly accepting their Lifetime Acheivement Grammy Collection for and thinking it was because anyone gave a shit about this album.

This slbum made them think anything they did would be hungrily gobbled by the grateful masses. That they were just untouchably great when in fact they produced a shameful piece of work that they should have never had the balls to release and look people in the eye afterward.

In a sea of turd after turd, it’s really hard to name a Worst. But I’ll give it to ABOY because it fucking grinds my gears that I had to listen to this piece of shit live once.

I feel frustrated because I did not come close to expressing my scorn, my loathing, my disgust, and so much more.

I feel like there is some concept I’ve not put my finger on, that yet eludes me.

Twelve years. I went No Contact with the band for twelve years over this fucking travesty.

And I’m basically NC again now thanks to the post SOE embarrassments.

Agreed. Next time I play Pop, and I intend to do it some day, it will be great.

In the meantime, listening to other stuff.

Bomb are the friends we drop off at the pool on the way.

Yup

And when you do play it and love doing so it won't mean you are 'back in love with u2' or any other silly shite like that.

It will just mean you think Pop is boss.....You'll still hate the lumpen turgid shite that is Bomb, but the really good thing is you just don't have to put up with that turd!
