I usaully think of it being "Droogs". But some say "Drug
Use" or "Druk Qs" or "Drooks". What do YOU say?

Richard had an interview where he explicityly said it was
not pronounced "drug use" and that was not the meaning, but
the meaning was personal to him and he wasn't going to tell
just yet.

I pronounce it druks, probably very similar to xlr.

good fucking question! it gets really annoying really fast
when i burn different mixes of the album.

oh, and btw, i'm a lazy american who pronounces "drukqs",
"drugs". although i think i like "drug use" more, now!

While were on the topic of Drukqs, is there any logical
reason why 95% of the songs have 7 second intro runs between
them?

Really? Wow, guess he must like the listener to have time to
mull over the previous track! of course, he wouldn't do it
for the listener, more for himself...

i pronounce it like 'drugs' but with a [k] instead of the
[g].

my cat pronounces it 'meeeow'.
