I think I would have preferred if they named it "Elysium" and it was a concept album about the 2013 Matt Damon film Elysium

After writing a song about a woman on an album cover, anything is possible.

What would you guys consider to be a good title for a new record?

I thought the rumored Pygmalion was awesome. Says a lot about a band bordering on self-characterization, with an album helmed by a longtime superfan who dresses like an asshole.

I’m totally serious, btw.

I'm serious. Genuinely curious what's a "good" album title....

A good album just has to fit the album. Also at the end of the day the title doesn't matter.

The only pearl jam album titles I genuinely like as actual album titles, irrespective of the content, are Vitalogy, Yield, and Backspacer. Kind of Riot Act.

"she applied for asylum and was granted refugee status"

Seems to fit the bands vibe.

I like Asylum as an album title.
It already speaks to me. I love the darker stuff from PJ and Asylum seems to indicate the songs are going to be dark.

Vs, on the other hand, despite being a fantastic collection of masterpiece songs, cringes me out as an album title. It's such an unimaginative, in your face, straight forward "I'm against that". I like subtler stuff when it comes to naming things.

'Asylum' sounds like an Insane Clown Posse album. Is Eddie now a Juggalo?

I’m officially excited!!!

Always will be. there hasn’t been album I haven’t connected with on some level. There are songs off each album that I remember hearing for the first time and being amazed.

I still remember listening to Gigaton for the first time and just being blown away with what I heard.

Same with Earthling.

Bring it on!!

Someone on the pit did some investigating and that site the Asylum album was on is a scam, people ordering records not receiving them over a year , no replies to emails . so I guess it was fake?
