So I was thinking... amazing album titles.

 

Names that fit the music perfectly, are very clever, are an in-joke for fans or just plain original and awesome.

 

Any genre.

GO!

 

 

 

I will start with:-

 

Venetian Snares - printf("shiver in eternal darkness/n");

 

If it had been simply Shiver in Eternal Darkness then it would sum up the music beautifully; dark and cold and menacing, foreboding doom and all that shit. Brilliant. But the fact that Snares wraps it up in a bit of C coding adds a level of geekery which reflects the computational nature of his music. Probably my favourite album title of his.

 

The /n though, it hurts me every time I look at it.

 

 

Do you think he did that on purpose just to annoy people like you? :w00t::music:

 

Another suggestion:-

 

Goldie - Timeless.

Absolutely is! 18 years on from release and it sounds super fresh to this day.

Secret Chiefs 3 - Book of Horizons

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic

Matmos - The Civil War (which i see as not just a reference to the civil war era music the album is based on, but also the analog vs. digital and past vs. present conflicts which it explores)

and I found this funny album by Fiona Apple named "When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You'll Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You Know That You're Right".

I'm sure he would say he did it on purpose, but I sincerely doubt it.

Always liked Seasons in the Abyss, I think that's a classic, perhaps my all time favorite. Dark Side of the Moon is another great, just over-exposure has worn it down. Trout Mask Replica is another good one.

Her newest is The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do, which is a much better name and also a much better album.
