Self-Titled Album: Difference between revisions

 

[[The Other Wiki]] has a [[wikipedia:List of eponymous albums|long list of strictly eponymous albums]], which won't be repeated here for brevity's sake—the examples below are limited to unusual cases, as delineated in each section.

{{examples}}

== Multiple self-titled albums from the same artist ==

* Roberto Carlos has released 58 albums in a career spanning five decades; 35 of them are titled simply ''Roberto Carlos''.

* Killing Joke has two self-titled albums: Their 1980 debut and a 2003 album.

* After several nearly-eponymous albums including Earth Vs The Wildhearts and The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed, their 2007 self-titled album was their fifth or sixth (depending how you count during 1994-96), but marked a reformation, a new line-up and a partial return towards what most fans regard as their classic sound.

* ''[[Orbital]]'''s debut was named ''Orbital'', and its followup was named ''Orbital 2''. They're generally referred to instead as ''Green Album'' and ''Brown Album'', respectively.

* Days Of The New have three albums, all of which are self-titled. Fans usually differentiate the albums by the color of the disc itself (Yellow, Green, and Red) or by release order (I, II, and III). Their long-awaited fourth album is going to break the pattern by only being ''nearly''-eponymous: the title has been announced as ''Days of the New Presents Tree Colors''.

* "Everything Else" by [[Everything Else]] off of the album Everything Else.

* "Meat Puppets", Meat Puppets, ''Meat Puppets''.

 

== Other ==

* [[Aphex Twin]] has the ''Richard D. James Album'', which is titled after his real name.

* [[Mindless Self Indulgence]] frontman Jimmy Urine released a solo album titled "Mindless Self Indulgence" a few years before the actual band was formed; it's now something of a sought-out item among fans, and copies sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay.
