Opening Arguments

Tit

This is a minor irritation, really, but if I hear about one more "self-titled" album, I'll scream. I know that this means to say that the album has the same name as the artist or group, like Bob Dylan's first album, "Bob Dylan," or Led Zeppelin's first albumn, "Led Zeppelin."  But it just sounds wrong, you know? I still think, when I hear it, "Oh, he named the album himself instead of making someone else do it; how nice" or "what a clever album to be able to title itself." One of these days, a critic will write about somebody's "eponymous debut album," and I'll faint dead away.
