What's with Album names?

I'm curious.....As I'm driving down the street I see a billboard for Mariah's new Album.

The name struck me as rather odd....."E=MC²"

I was like...."Uh-k"

Then I'm thinking back to the 90s when Boys 2 Men release an album with the name "Evolution"

So, I'm like...what's with the names? Based on what do music artist named their albums?


What's next? A hip hop album with the title "Geology"? laughing out loud

Sometimes it's thematic/conceptual, sometimes it means nothing, there are many reasons.

OMG THE CONCEPT eek!

Amazing!

Obviously she just thought it was only fair to put just as much thought into her album name as she did into the music itself. yes

Maybe she's trying to make herself look smarter, too. I guess she thinks that just because she puts E=mc squared on her album cover, people will have the slightest idea that she understands the concept of the theory.

What drives me nuts is when bands self-title albums when it isn't even a debut. I'm like "Really? You couldn't think of anything else?"

Evolution has meaning beyond the scientific theory, doesn't it?

Radiohead could really call all their albums evolution.

If it's artful, I don't see any problem with bands self-titling their own albums, regardless of whether it's a debut, sophmore, etc etc.

But, once again, as long as it's artful.

Some of them, yes, are rather unoriginal, but really, I think that a band should have the right to title their own work. Especially when it means something to them.

I thought artists had people to come up with titles and other stuff for them but I guess I was wrong

'Fatal Farts' by the Swedish punk group 'Rövsvett' (Arse Sweat) is pretty straight to the point.
