Song most likely to double as a GOP presidential-campaign slogan: “Drinkin’ Beer. Sorry, Caravan.)Ĭhase Rice’s mundane country-pop bangers have as much soul as an airport turkey-and-cheese sandwich. (Though I had to omit Caravan’s 1980 LP The Album, as it’s currently unavailable to stream. In honor of the Jonases, we’re ranking every album titled The Album, from worst to best. ( Nick Jonas told Vanity Fair the name grew out of a band meeting in which the brothers decided, “This is the quintessential Jonas Brothers album.”)īut this naming convention has a surprisingly far-ranging history. And last week, the Jonas Brothers returned with a first record in four years, which carries the same non-title.
Since 2020, Chase Rice, Teyana Taylor, and Blackpink have all delivered Albums.
The approach seems to be in vogue lately. Hey, why not? It’s generic and lofty all at once: This isn’t just an album, this is THE album. While some artists think deeply on the matter, coming up with a poetic turn of phrase that captures the essence of the songs held within - and which may even enter the popular lexicon to signify a certain type of project for decades to come (i.e., “it’s their Tusk,” “this is my Blood on the Tracks”) - others just go ahead and call it … The Album. Picking an album title is one of the most sacred decisions a musician can make.
