Album titles that act as mini-reviews of the album and do you agree with that review

what songs about food do Talking Heads have? that's always confused me

"Pulled Up":

Keep that wonderful food on the table
There's really no hurry I'll eat in a while

"The Big Country":

Look at that kitchen and all of that food
Look at them eat it, I guess it tastes real good

Sparks - Music That You Can Dance To (no way)

come on now.

British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? (Yes, broadly, and your version will do just fine.)

Frank Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life

Since this was a live album, I always thought it was a comment on disappointing ticket sales from the tour (sort of like Ministry's In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up). I saw the Zappa tour, ftr. It was the last one before he died.

― shared unit of analysis (unperson)

it was his last tour because he was such a shitty manager. the entire band demanded he fire the bass player, who was apparently an asshole, and zappa responded by cancelling the rest of the tour, swearing he'd never tour again, and spending the rest of his life doodling around on the synclavier. anyway his cancellation of the west coast leg of the tour is what the album title was a reference to.

Ween - 12 Golden Country Greats (It is country but there's only 10 tracks this time)

― Let them eat Pfifferlinge an Schneckensauce (Tom D.)

i thought the reference was to the band, who ween did think were all country greats?

I have heard that too but there seems some dispute over it.

especially since there were 12 songs recorded during the session

I think they just liked the idea it would confuse people

Just like The Traveling Wilburys' second album being called "Volume 3".

Circle - Triumph, here's a full review that confirms it

Wipers - The Circle

it's round!

gary burton — alone at last (yep.)

bobby hutcherson — solo / quartet (again: yep.)

B-52's - Good Stuff (not really)

every reggae album called some variant of "XXX meets YYY in a ZZZ style"

Replacements - Stink (no, they rock)

there was an interview where thurston points at individual sonic youth members as he says "experimental", "jet set", "trash", and "no star", but I forget which ones are which.

Modern Romance - Burn It! (definitely agree, best thing you could do with the album)

also true of the Monkees - Pool It!

Wham! - Fantastic! (yeah, it's alright)

Cockney Rejects "Greatest Hits Vol 1"

Qualifies both ways: it wasn't their greatest hits it was their debut album, but it was volume one as two and three followed (three was a live album, so maybe.. They were the greatest hits by then?)
