Great Album Titles

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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

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.

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.)

 

:wacko:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
