Regardless of whether or not you actually like the music, which title for an album is your favourite?
Too hard to choose one, here’s three from artists whose names start with M.
Actual Sounds and Voices - Meat Beat Manifesto
Gay, Black and Married - My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
Cure for Pain - Morphine
rust never sleeps, neil young
Love that one too.

From all the way in the back
Of the food stamp line
And straight outta motherfucking rehab!
It’s the good, the bad
And the Leftöver Crack!
What’s leftover crack?
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust - Saul Williams
Millions of Dead Cops, The War on Errorism, Deloused in the Comatorium
For some reason these two by Strapping Young Lad fell into my head:
- For Those Aboot To Rock
- Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing
Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik by Outkast and Return to Cookie Mountain by TV on the Radio.
69 Love Songs is hard to beat, especially since it’s also an accurate description of the album and full of bangers.
Oof, such a good album. “All my little words” is one of the best songs ever written.
Daft Punk - Discovery
Specifically because of the song Veridis Quo, which can be reinterpreted as “very disco”, and reversed to make discovery
More the combination of the album and the song titles, but At the Soundless Dawn by The Red Sparowes is an instrumental album whose song titles tell the story of how humanity is destroying our planet.
- “Alone and Unaware, the Landscape was Transformed in Front of Our Eyes”
- “Buildings Began to Stretch Wide Across the Sky, And the Air Filled with a Reddish Glow”
- “The Soundless Dawn Came Alive as Cities Began to Mark the Horizon”
- “Mechanical Sounds Cascaded Through the City Walls and Everyone Reveled in Their Ignorance”
- “A Brief Moment of Clarity Broke Through the Deafening Hum, but It Was Too Late”
- “Our Happiest Days Slowly Began to Turn into Dust”
- “The Sixth Extinction Crept Up Slowly, Like Sunlight Through the Shutters, as We Looked Back in Regret”
The same band also has Every Red Heart Shines Towards the Red Sun, which tells the story of The Great Leap Forward, again through its song titles:
- “The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like a Mighty Storm, Suddenly and Furiously Blinding Our Senses.”
- “We Stood Transfixed in Blank Devotion as Our Leader Spoke to Us, Looking Down on Our Mute Faces with a Great, Raging, and Unseeing Eye.”
- “Like the Howling Glory of the Darkest Winds, This Voice Was Thunderous and the Words Holy, Tangling Their Way Around Our Hearts and Clutching Our Innocent Awe.”
- “A Message of Avarice Rained Down and Carried Us Away into False Dreams of Endless Riches.”
- “‘Annihilate the Sparrow, That Stealer of Seed, and Our Harvests Will Abound; We Will Watch Our Wealth Flood In.’”
- “And by Our Own Hand Did Every Last Bird Lie Silent in Their Puddles, the Air Barren of Song as the Clouds Drifted Away. For Killing Their Greatest Enemy, the Locusts Noisily Thanked Us and Turned Their Jaws Toward Our Crops, Swallowing Our Greed Whole.”
- “Millions Starved and We Became Skinnier and Skinnier, While Our Leaders Became Fatter and Fatter.”
- “Finally, as That Blazing Sun Shone Down Upon Us, Did We Know That True Enemy Was the Voice of Blind Idolatry; and Only Then Did We Begin to Think for Ourselves.”
It helps that the music is also great, if you like instrumental stuff.
I love post-rock and that is the most post-rock shit ever. Awesome!
Really glad that you like it!
Sounds kinda like F#A#∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor in concept.
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - I’ve been saying the phrase ever since. Example:
Friend : “I got demoted to silver in League”
Me: “Damn, that’s infinite sadness”
And Out Come the Wolves by Rancid or Today’s Empire, Tomorrow’s Ashes by Propagandhi.
Lounge Against the Machine by Richard Cheese deserves an honourable mention.
Spacemen 3 - Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs to
This. Great album too.
I’ve always liked that Fiona Apple named an album, “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 know where to land And if you fall it won’t matter, cuz you’ll know that you’re right.”
It’s commonly referred to as simply, “When the pawn”.
