Well, despite the fact that it's my favorite Yes album...somehow, The Yes Album never struck me as being on of their cleverest titles...

I don't care about the album's concept or not, the name is just god awful anyway.

Ozric Tentacles- Curious Corn (???? Huh???)  Yes- Union (aka Onion) and the odd Tormato (Whaaaaat?) and of course the rather silly Al DiMeola - Kiss My Axe (but , you know maybe its a great title , hmmmmm)
 
Thomas Dolby had an album called "Aliens Ate my Buick" , kind of a propos today, no? Wink

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Really? Interesting. I've always liked it, so much that I gave that name to a girl when I put her in my mobile. She, of course, objected soundly once she'd caught on...so I renamed her Jack Nicholoson...

 actually 90125 isn't a real bad album. It was the album that got me into Yes back in the80's as a kid. I think Tormato is worse Shocked

( ) is actualy one of the greatest album titles ever.

I agree with Ivan and Bob. Can't get any more uncreative than a catalogue number and Love Beach. I mean, I guess it would be okay coming from some surf rock band but \with that cover and ELP's name on it it comes off as an embarrassingly obvious (and therefore failed) attempt to sell out.

^Seconded
 
The GG titles have always been a bit odd to me, though I think their music is so good that I don't really care. Acquiring the Taste for example. It's a perfect description of the GG sound, but It sounds bad. I guess it's not really a bad title because of what it represents, but that's just the way I think.

( ) is a perfect album title as it leaves what it means up to you.  Which suits the music quite well too.  I don't see the problem there.  Plus it is so soothing to look at.


I don't think I've ever had an album title complaint.

I've always been turned off by the title Thrak.

So much so that I avoided purchasing that album for years.

Do any album titles tell you anything about the music they contain?

This was suggested in the Best Prog Rock Album Title thread, so here we go.
What title really iks you? Makes you wonder what the point of naming the album with said title when it has nothing to do with the music it contains??
My pick has to be Sigur Ros' - () Confused
