SCREAM!
04.28.17 | 8 and 10 rule though and although 2 was the beginning of the end it's still great
so eh |
LethalPaintball
04.28.17 | rage against the machine self-titled is pretty good
most people on this site dig deftones self-titled |
StickFeit
04.28.17 | And if there is a number behind it?
first bunch of Led Zeppelins?
The Bronx? |
DoofusWainwright
04.28.17 | You missed some I'm pretty sure |
anat
04.28.17 | i'll take a self-titled non debut over a post rock album with a tracklist of "I, II, III, IV, V" any day |
StickFeit
04.28.17 | Yeah I know, just for example |
tempest--
04.28.17 | check black sabbath |
butcherboy
04.28.17 | after that, check qotsa.. |
Rik VII
04.28.17 | Agreed, it always comes off as lazy, especially in combination with some lame symbol as album art (yeah I'm looking at you Stratovarius).
It's cool though when you find a creative way to wove the name into the title ... like In the Court of the Crimson King. |
CzechyGuy
04.28.17 | should've mention Suicide SIlence s/t. not that they were that great to begin with but they havent ever been that bad |
Rik VII
04.28.17 | or the next Tool album |
Papa Universe
04.28.17 | I guess you're only into Metal, but here's still a bunh of self titled non-debut albums that kick ass:
St. Vincent
Blur
Grieved
Bloodiest
Preoccupations
Fleetwood Mac
Alice in Chains
Take Over and Destroy |
iglu
04.28.17 | deftones
deftones

SCREAM!
04.28.17 | Some pretty great s/t's mentioned here
I'd add Billy Talent, Burzum, Camel, Alexisonfire
Yeah s/t's can be pretty great |
butcherboy
04.28.17 | Unique, preoccupations is sort of cheating.. haha |
Rik VII
04.28.17 | Of course self-titled albums can be great (why wouldn't they), but that doesn't change the fact that a large majority of them has a lazy album title. |
pizzamachine
04.28.17 | After Forever - After Forever |
StickFeit
04.28.17 | Interpol - El Pintor |
NastyCrab
04.28.17 | Remember Killswitch Engage's SECOND self-titled album? That was the first time I got mad at a band for pulling that shit. |
LethalPaintball
04.28.17 | lets not forget that weezers blue and white albums are technically self-titled as well |
wham49
04.28.17 | some of the best albums are self titled
BS/ BS. Lucifers Friend/ Lucifers Friend, IM/ IM, The Beatles/ The Beatles AKA White Album, |
SCREAM!
04.28.17 | "Of course self-titled albums can be great (why wouldn't they), but that doesn't change the fact that a large majority of them has a lazy album title."
Yeah but who cares though |
Dedes
04.28.17 | I mean cool album titles are nice and they slide off the tongue well but who cares? Are you gonna wake up with leprosy because the new Immolation album isn't called super ultra Armageddon goat fucker or something? |
Papa Universe
04.28.17 | Butcherboy, well it is their second album, innit? |
butcherboy
04.28.17 | with the second name.. and the first one was also s/t.. so they're double offenders.. of a non-issue.. so never mind.. |
Papa Universe
04.28.17 | But they are the same ensemble working together for the second time. They did not disband and regroup as something different. |
Grimlin
04.28.17 | both self-titled Killing Joke albums were good, but that shit's annoying for cataloging on itunes |
Brewtality91
04.28.17 | "super ultra Armageddon goat fucker or something"
THIS PLEASE
I was thinking SOAD but they don't have any text on the cover so I let that slip |
evilford
04.28.17 | who cares |
50iL
04.28.17 | Ehh yeah I really don't mind it too much |
Satellite
04.28.17 | i agree that it's lame when it's not the band's debut. it's even lamer when bands put out multiple s/t albums unless it's a cool band like the bronx. |
cylinder
04.29.17 | sometimes the album being s/t is kinda the point, like with the beatles and blink-182, but yeah most of the time i'd prefer an actual title |
ScuroFantasma
04.29.17 | Usually not a good sign creativity wise if it isn't the debut yeah |
Koris
04.29.17 | Journey - Journey
back when the band were jazz fusion/progressive rock |
DoofusWainwright
04.29.17 | Self titled song is funnier.
Anathema with 'Anathema' on their last album and it was sooo Anathema |
DoofusWainwright
04.29.17 | Has any band done self titled song on self titled album? |
DoofusWainwright
04.29.17 | Motörhead released Motörhead first song 'Motorhead' |
Satellite
04.29.17 | lots of bands, yeah. off the top of my head: bad religion, black sabbath, minor threat, bad company. |
Koris
04.29.17 | Black Sabbath released Black Sabbath first song "Black Sabbath"
Oh, and can't forget Blackfield either |
Rik VII
04.29.17 | Don't forget Iron Maiden and (more or less) King Crimson.
Has there ever been a solo musician who named a song after himself? |

04.29.17 | "i'll take a self-titled non debut over a post rock album with a tracklist of "I, II, III, IV, V" any day"
I actually like it when bands do that. Id rather have a number than some cringe worthy edgy name lol |
