Amazing Album Titles

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.

Shitmat - Full English Breakfest

Genious.

Infinite Livez:

Art Brut Fe De Yoot

&

Morgan Freeman's Psychedelic Semen

Frank Zappa is a fucking goldmine for this shit.

Burnt Weeny Sandwich

Weasels Ripped My Flesh

Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch

Make a Jazz Noise Here

Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar Some More

experimental jet set, trash and no star

Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet

Vatican Shadow - Byzantine Private CIA

JK Flesh/Prurient - Worship is the Cleansing of the Imagination

I've always loved the title "Body Riddle" by Clark.

Also "Another Side of Bob Dylan" and "Blood on the Tracks" by Bob Dylan.

Darkthrone's oft-cited unholy trilogy:

A Blaze in the Northern Sky

Under a Funeral Moon

Transilvanian Hunger

I think it's important the musical content lives up to the titles, so with that in mind:

Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul, Black Moses

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Gold Panda - Half of Where You Live

Jimi Hendrix - Axis Bold As Love

R.E.M. - Murmur (nice disclaimer eh?)

Sonice Youth - Daydream Nation

Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit
Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires*

*Classic dub remix titles take the fucking cake - they would often have ridiculously creative titles completely unrelated to the reggae track they were making a dub version out of, "Flash Gordon Meets Luke Skywalker" is my favorite.

Or something like this:
