We finally have the title of DMB's 8th studio album, AWAY FROM THE WORLD. It seems to be getting a lot of positive feedback so far but is it your favorite album title. If not, which is?

I have left out Remember Two Things and The Lillywhite Sessions even though I know some people like these (especially LWS).

Under the Table and Dreaming, for sure.

I can understand why you left out LWS, but why RTT?

I voted Big Whiskey and the Groo Grux King. Not the best of their albums, but I LOVE the title. It's everything an album title should be, IMO: interesting, unique, gives a glimpse into where the band is at, and makes you want to find out more. Was it Dave who said it made him think of the title to some twisted fairy tale or something? I think it's very cool :thumbsup

Under the Table and Dreaming was a very close second for me.

I picked BTCS but I do love the double entendre of "Busted Stuff"

As of right now, the only albums that have votes are albums that get their titles from lyrics, not names of songs.

I left it out as I referred to their "studio" albums in the question. RTT is not considered a full studio album. Obviously,anyone who likes it, say it in the thread. I apologize. Away From The World is considered their 8th studio album, not their 9th. :shrug

Stand Up is definitely the worst title. Especially since it relates to the song Stand Up (For It). The subtitle is hilariously unnecessary and to me is the worst part about the album.

UTTAD is perfect

I've always been partial to BTCS... I often wonder what this country would have looked like before we 'crowded' it.

Agreed, all the subtitles on Stand Up crack me up when I see them.

At least Old Dirt Hill and EWU have subtitles that are actually subtitles. Same with Stay. But Stand Up (For It) just sounds like they argued about what they wanted to name the song and that was the compromise.

It'd be like if they named SMTS "So Much (To Say)."

The first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was UTTAD. Glad to see many others agree.

Before these crowded streets is the best title IMO, followed closely by UTTAD. I would put Away From the World at #3

UTTAD and BTCS are super close. I'd say UTTAD

#1 UTTAD
#2 BTCS
#3 BWGGK
#3 AFTW
#5 BS
#6 C
#7 SU
#7 E

I'd put RTT in the same group as BWGGK and AFTW. Picking a #1 was hard for me but it think UTTAD wins. I put too much thought into this I think. OMG it's 9:11 if only the : was a / or a . or a - I'd be pretty damn happy.

BTCS just has such vivid imagery (nothing to do with the songs themselves) for me. I see that title or abbreviation and I get such a clear, hopeful feeling from it. UTTAD, though, is perfect.

I picked Before These Crowded Streets. Will always make me think of The Dreaming Tree which is a beautifully artistic song, IMO.

Stand Up is both the best title, and has the best album artwork. It is also the worst album. How this happened, I have no idea.

Easily Big Whiskey & The Groogrux King.

Definitely agree with this. I was living in Brazil when Stand Up came out and had literally heard nothing from it until I got home and purchased it. I was so stoked just because of how cool the album cover looked. I mean, they put the firedancer on the front of the album... it had to be good, right?

Right?

UTTAD and BTCS are neck and neck for me, but I went with UTTAD. BWGGK is a very solid 3. The rest are pretty meh titles - not a big fan of Away From the World....maybe it'll connect to the music though like BTCS does. But in and of itself i'm not thrilled with it.

Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King is haunting, poetic, beautiful, and packed with meaning in terms of the band and their journey. Easily my favorite.
