Great Album Titles

[Guest Incandenza]

So I'm listening to E.C.'s Imperial Bedroom and I totally dig the title. What are some loved album names around here?

[Guest Kinetic]

I'm a big fan of phrases as album titles, rather than enigmatic one-word titles. As such, my favorites are probably If You're Feeling Sinister, Girls Can Tell, and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. That's not a definitive list. I'll probably come up with more later.

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

Piece of Mind - Iron Maiden

So Far, So Good, So what? - Megadeth

When the Kite String Pops - Acid Bath (Sorry if I stole your heat AoO, but I love this title so much)

[Guest Youth N Asia]

"Hitler Bad, Vandals Good" by The Vandals

[Guest LooseCannon]

I'm drawing a blank at the moment, but Songs about Fucking is a great album title.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Calculating Infinity-DEP

For Silver and Blood-Neurosis

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

Blind Guardian - "Nightfall on Middle Earth"

 

Most Snoop Dogg albums "the Doggfather, the Last Meal, Doggy Style, etc"

 

Nas "Nastradamus"

 

Tupac Shakur "2Pacalypse"

 

ODB "Nigga Please"

 

Dr. Dre "The Chronic"

[Guest godthedog]

sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band (naturally)

 

in utero

 

incesticide

 

the downward spiral

 

also: i'm of the firm belief that "entropy" is one of the coolest terms in the world, & i'm sure that someone at some time or another has named their album that. so, that's my favorite title.

[Guest ryankeast]

For some reason I love the title 'Achtung Baby'

 

BTW is In Utero - Depeche Mode???

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

In Utero = Nirvana

[Guest ryankeast]

What a fucking idiot .

 

Cause It is.

 

Thanx Spaceman

[Guest Musou]

Welcome - Taproot

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

Break the Cycle - Staind

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Desire of the Rhino King-Adrian Belew.

 

That's title kind of illicits a "What the fuck?"

[Guest JangoFett4Hire]

Big Black - Songs About Fucking

The Cows - Peacetika (Album cover shows a symbol which is a cross between a peace sign and a swastika)

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy (just because of the fact that the song "Houses on the Holy" was left off the album, and later put on Physical Graffiti.)

 

[Guest Incandenza]

Welcome - Taproot

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

Break the Cycle - Staind

Um, yeah.

 

Here are some good titles:

 

Mutiliation Makes Identification Difficult--Brutal Juice

Kicking Against the Pricks--Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

[Guest El Satanico]

Too Drunk To Fuck: Dead Kennedys

[Guest JangoFett4Hire]

Too Drunk is a song title, and a great one, but not an album

title, sorry... you need to be purple nerpled

[Guest converge241]

right after Warrant put out "Dog Eat Dog"

 

Dog Eat Dog put out their new album "Warrant"

 

Zao - liberate Te Ex Infernis

Type O - origin Of the Feces

 

any albums that are self titled for the repeated times

 

see: Peter Gabriel, Days of the New, etc

[Guest ElectricRaccoon]

Pretty much every Frank Zappa album, but most notably Weasels Ripped My Flesh and Apostrophe

Gas Huffer - Integrity, Technology and Service

Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen

[Guest El Satanico]

Too Drunk is a song title, and a great one, but not an album

title,

Oh really? Hmm i could've swore it was also an album title.

 

Well nevermind

[Guest JangoFett4Hire]

Another great CD Title: Erin Go Braless by Ellen and the Felons...

[Guest saturnmark4life]

pretty much everything the butthole surfers have ever done.

'Rembrandt Pussyhorse'

'Psychic, Powerless, another man's sac'

'hairway to steven'

'Double Live'

'A brown reason to live'

'Electriclarryland'

'Independent worm saloon'

etc etc...

[Guest Incandenza]

More Songs About Buildings and Food--Talking Heads

We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes--Death Cab for Cutie

[Guest Kinetic]

I believe that if we were to have a vote, Songs About Fucking would win by a landslide. Never mind that most of the people here have never even heard of Big Black and even I can't lay claim to having heard anything they ever recorded. It's just a great title. Not to mention a pretty bitching cover, fo sheez.

[Guest Incandenza]

And for those of you who haven't seen said cover:

 

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

That's cool shit. And guilty as charged here for never having heard of them. I probably wouldn't like it, but that's to be expected. Killer name and cover, though.

[Guest Kinetic]

They were producer Steve Albini's band in the 80s. He's best known for producing the first Pixies record, PJ Harvey's Rid of Me, Nirvana's In Utero, and also Bush's Razorblade Suitcase, surprisingly enough. From what I can gather, they're a kind of loud and heavy version of what came to be known as "industrial." There's a big chapter on them in the absolutely essential book, Our Band Could Be Your Life.

[Guest Incandenza]

allmusic.com lists them under the following labels: Post-Hardcore, American Underground, Noise-Rock, Indie Rock. I've heard nary a track by Big Black--I believe LooseCannon has this particular album, though--though I do have another Albini-led band's album, At Action Park, by Shellac. They're pretty f'n noisy.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Shellac is Albini's?!?

 

Wow, that's something I really truly didn't know. Makes sense, though.

 

I'd like to weigh in for Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion. A good album with a farkin' beautiful title.

 

I also like Violator as a title. Heh. Violate. Heh.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Dead Kennedys' Frankenchrist is a pretty good one.
