The New Album Title

[soundless_space]

Double album anyone? I can't help but be thrilled about this.

Hell yes. I know he said not to hold it to him, but that would be amazing.

lol @ Avalanche 2

 

maybe it should be Last of the Rich Celebrities

Yeah, I don't like it when an album is titled after a song.

[borntohula]

im the same way, unless a song really works to encompass all the themes of the album. but even when people do it, im never like "man, they shouldve named the album differently"... i could really care less.

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

Yeah, I feel the same way, but I think Avalanche worked well as an album title.

[cringleman]

Really, what doesn't work as an album title? Zeppelin were too lazy to make one up for four albums straight, and it's not really what everyone remembers.

 

With that said, you can very clearly pull together the thematic material of a body of work by giving it a certain title.

 

In sum: I think you can make the argument that nearly anything could "work" as an album title, but that it's wholly separate from what is good as an album title.

[RicardoObviouso]

ahhh, the art (or not?) of choosing a name. i'm willing to start a petition to have the album named avalanche II.

how about "dude, where's my mind" or anything with 'dude' in it...."avalanche II, dudes" with the subtitle "the re-avalanching"

[Prometheon]

Just when you thought it was safe to go skiing...

Matthew Good: Real men watch corination street

i used to watch that sometimes just cuz i had no idea what was going on.

[sockcrotch]

I watched it once. And then never again.

[eclipticmisery]

I think he's a little more creative then Avalanche 2 or anything with his name in it. I also would very highly bet that he wouldn't use something political. He's informed and uses his voice for opinion but he isn't a political "band". I think he would go for more of a simple title like his old joke "Beautiful Losers" or something that the general person wouldn't get as in the case of "White Light.."

 

But something like "Politics According to Good" or "Iraqi Road Ice Cream" I truly think would be pretty damned stupid.

"Beautiful Losers" is a Leonard Cohen novel.

[gorram_feds]

"Iraqi Road Ice Cream" - ;)

 

how about "Stuck in Recoupment Hell" (although I sincerely hope that that is not the case!)

[hobo_ted]

i think any of the following would be good:

1) I am Matt Good

2) I am not Matt Good

3) I am also Spock

[anitanium]

wouldn't it be completely ironic if by a "new sound" Matt completely changed his music so that every song on the album is of a popular nature and would get radio play every 5 minutes on any given radio station

 

e.g. Matt became a pop star

[Bladeso]

I have it the new title of the album, it has to be:

The Down fall of men

 

or

Luguna beach

 

they are the same thing right?

[trufflepig]

^Laguna?

 

Matthew Good: Bitches Ain't Shit

[cringleman]

Man, he should call it, "I hate record companies and my ex-wife's taking half my share, so please don't actually buy this record."

 

And the jewel case should be empty, just to spite you if you buy it.

Destined for Failure

 

Of course, I'm biased. May not send a real 'strong' message, but hey, fuckit.

Actually, that is what I was thinking to. I mean there was that one part on his blog saying that "I once was popular." That may say things about something that maybe happening. Perhaps he want's to be put back in the spotlight.

 

I think his new album should be called: Blink and You're Dead.
