For some time I started seeing this thing when I go to an artist’s “page”. I like to listen full albums and I see a list of albums and underneath it an album or two with this “a • b • l • m • u” as title.
I’m pretty sure this is down to bad information on some albums in MusicBrainz. It’s the release type or something like that. I’m guessing some clever person wanted a unique way to display this that worked perfectly on their system, but badly on everyone else’s!
There’s ones for s • n • g • l • e • i and o • c • p • l • a • m • t • i • o • n • i too….
