Title: Rename The Album Based On The Cover
Post by: ScrambledGregs on 08 Jan 2007, 21:01: So here's a fun new game I thought up: take an existing album and use another album/EP's title for it based solely on its cover.

For example:

(http://image.com.com/mp3/images/cover/200/drd600/d672/d67295u763x.jpg)

Aphex Twin- Smile (was Come To Daddy)

(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000E6GBV2.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_V57082259_.jpg)

Band Of Horses- Another Green World (was Everything All The Time)

(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000581R.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg)

Yo La Tengo- Terror Twilight (was Painful)

(http://flux-rad.com/graphic/84.jpg)

Spoon- This Is Our Music (was Girls Can Tell)

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/16/Spiderland_album_cover.jpg/200px-Spiderland_album_cover.jpg)

Slint- They Were Wrong, So We Drowned (was Spiderland)

(http://www.interpunk.com/itemimages2/70271.jpg)

Rancid- In Case We Die (was Rancid)

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Radiohead.hailtothetheif.albumart.jpg/200px-Radiohead.hailtothetheif.albumart.jpg)

Radiohead- Daydream Nation (was Hail To The Thief)

(http://a0.vox.com/6a00c10e0f6884d3b400c2251c4cc8f219-320pi)

My Bloody Valentine- Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You (was Loveless)

I believe the idea was you use the name of another record.

For example, 'Smile' is the name of an album by The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson but it was used as the title for 'Come to Daddy' because everyone in the artwork was smiling.

But there's no record called 'Vagina Coloured Death Machine', so that idea fails because the best name for that Boris album could not be utilised.

I'm not sure if you're insulting me or not, so I'm going to err on the side of caution and say "fuck you." :wink:

use another album/EP's title for it based solely on its cover.

This is the absolutely key rule. With that in mind, the album above is definitely Neutral Milk Hotel's masterpiece, Check Your Head.

A Google search reveals that the new title is not the name of an actual album. I humbly submit that you're doing it wrong. DynamiteKid has the right idea.

Title: Re: Rename The Album Based On The Cover
Post by: NiMRoD420 on 12 Jan 2007, 02:26: The Chronic is Dr. Dre's first non-NWA album.

Hence The Chronic 2000, his next 'solo' album.

You're thinking of The Dogfather for Snoop.
Title: Re: Rename The Album Based On The Cover
Post by: Thrillho on 12 Jan 2007, 02:33: It's 2001, not 2000, and strictly speaking it is legalled called 2001, not Chronic 2001 because Death Row are wankers who hold grudges.
Title: Re: Rename The Album Based On The Cover
Post by: Johnny C on 12 Jan 2007, 04:36: I am thinking of Dre rather than the Doggfather. Apologies.

However it's still a real album.
