TOP: 10 albume cu titlul extrem de lung!

Pentru ca saptamana asta cei de la The 1975 au anuntat ca titlul noului lor album, Like It When You Sleep For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, este foarte lung, am zis sa vedem si ce alte albume au abuzat de numarul de cuvinte in titlu.

 

Serios, chiar e un titlu foarte lung. Din pacate, sau din fericire, The 1975 nu sunt singurii care au avut o astfel de idee, iar in cele ce urmeaza va vom prezenta inca 10 albume ce au foarte multe cuvinte in titlu.

10. Super Furry Animals – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochocynygofod 

Trupa galeza Super Furry Animals au trisat un pic pentru ca s-au folosit de orasul cu cel mai lung nume, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, la care au mai adaugat un simplu in space – in spatiu. Sau cel putin asa se traduce numele albumului din galeza.

9. Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies Hurrah! Another Year, Surely This One Will Be Better Than the Last; The Inexorable March of Progress Will Lead Us All to Happiness

Tot din Marea Britanie vin si cei de la Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies, care ulterior si-au schimbat numele in
Youthmovie (probabil si-au dat seama ca nu merge treaba cu numele lungi). Cel de-al doilea album lansat de ei avea titlul de mai sus si continea, atentie, piese de aproape 10 minute fiecare.

8. Mew – No More Stories Are Told Today, I\’m Sorry They Washed Away, No More Stories, the World Is Grey, I\’m Tired, Let’s Wash Away

Se pare ca danezilor le plac titlurile lungi, in versuri. Sau cel putin asa a fost cazul celor de la Mew, care au decis sa numeasca in acest fel cel de-al cincilea album al lor.

7. Devendra Banhart – Oh Me Oh My… the Way the Day Goes by the Sun Is Setting Dogs Are Dreaming Lovesongs of the Christmas Spirit

Cine zice ca nu poti folosi versurile tale ca inspiratie pentru titlul unui album? Iata ca venezueleanul Devendra Banhart s-a hotarat ca un titlul foarte bun pentru albumul sau din 2002 ar fi un vers dintr-o piesa compusa cu mult timp in urma – Sunrise (A Long Time Ago).

6. Marnie Stern – This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That

Titlul albumului lui Marnie Stern este inspirat din citatlul filosofului Allan Watts din On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are (1966).

5. T. Rex – My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair… but Now They\’re Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows

Trupa britanica T. Rex este cunoscuta nu pentru un singur album cu titlu lung, ci pentru doua. Celalalt album al lor se numeste Zinc Alloy and the Hidden Riders of Tomorrow or a Creamed Cage in August

4. Cap\’n Jazz – Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards in the Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We\’ve Slipped On and Egg Shells We\’ve Tippy Toed Over

Acesta este singurul album lansat de trupa emo americana, iar pe scurt i se zice Shmap\’n Shmazz. Suntem curiosi cum le-a venit ideea titlului. 

3. Fiona Apple – When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He\’ll Win the Whole Thing \’fore He Enters the Ring There’s No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might so When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won\’t Matter, Cuz You\’ll Know That You\’re Right.

Probabil cel mai cunoscut album cu nume extrem de lung este si ramane cel al Fionei Apple, care si-a denumit asa albumul lansat in 1999.

2. Soulwax – Most of the remixes we\’ve made for other people over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn\’t think sounded good enough or just didn\’t fit in length-wise, but including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply because they haven\’t been released yet, a few we really love, one we think is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent.

Asta pare mai mult o declaratie decat un titlu de album, dar hei, cine suntem noi sa judecam artistii?

1. Chumbawumba – The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether From Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother’s Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don\’t Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to \’Guard\’ Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It’s Over, Then It’s Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won

Chiar daca sunt cunoscuti in principal pentru piesa Tubthumping, cei de la Chumbawumba au lansat pana in prezent nu mai putin de 19 albume. Penultimul, lansat in 2008 detine momentan recordul pentru cel mai lung titlu de album.


Voi care credeti ca e cel mai lung titlu de album romanesc lansat pana acum?
