Regardless of whether or not you actually like the music, which title for an album is your favourite?
For some reason these two by Strapping Young Lad fell into my head:
- For Those Aboot To Rock
- Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing
Equally Cursed and Blessed by Catatonia.
Circusized Peanuts by Warlock Pinchers
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.
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!
Love that one too.
Lullabies for the Dormant Mind from The Agonist is the first one that comes to mind. Fantastic album, and the title and album art are both just on point.
I forgot who made it because it’s not the type of music I listen to but there’s an album called “Tentacle Induced Intestinal Displacement”. I just like how specifically absurd it is and It’s album art is equally as extreme. Assuming it hasn’t been removed, it was on Spotifiy when I found it, if you are curious about it for some reason.

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
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!
