Let's not forget her very first album Janet Jackson. (Though I don't blame you if you forgot it. :hunty:)

Peter Gabriel has four. :saladga:

Oh yeah :emma: I forgot everything between her role as Penny on Good Times and Rhythm Nation :emma:

It worked well for St. Vincent and Beyoncé but it'll seem... Reductive if Gaga did it so soon after.

maybe in the future she'll name one of her greatest hits album GAGA :neyde:

Gaga could probably work if the album actually ends up defining who she is as a musician and becomes critically and commercially successful. If not, the album will just be another title to add to the "meh" self-titled albums of the last several years (BEYONCÉ is an exception regardless of opinion because it made a definite impact on pop culture... St. Vincent is another exception because it got acclaim and it won a Grammy).

IMO, a truly creative album title shouldn't share its name with a song. Some examples would be The Emancipation of Mimi, Confessions on a Dance Floor, and 1989. Gaga has yet to do this.

Another thing... I personally don't think the title matters (unless it's something like Fatherf*cker :wtfga:) as long as the music is good.

Control wasn't worthy enough to be remembered? :giveup:

It was :ohno: Nasty is one of my favorites of hers, I'm just not that huge of a fan when it comes to Janet. For whatever reason...it's a fail on my part :deadbanana: same reason I don't stan for albums like Thriller or Like a Virgin. I'm just not crazy about the 80's pop scene :deadbanana: I'm more of a "late-2000's" kind of guy :music:

Self-titled albums are so 2013.
But really tho, I don't think this would work for Gaga

Your speech really moved me,  it was beautiful :cryga: and I love the idea of the album concept not really being so conceptual at all, just her talent and inspiration and emotions.  But I'm still not here for a self titled album and I still think it's bland vague and cliché :oops:

Why are you reaching? :saladga: Just accept that the title of The Fame Monster was derived from the titles of two songs* and move on...

*Although it's probably more like "the title of a song and the title of an album that was named after a song," but my point still stands.

Self titled albums seem like a lazy move for a zero concept album...

She can't. It has more than two syllable. People would make fun of it. Didn't you read the other thread?
