i've been listening to this new facedowninshit album called "nothing positive only negative," which got me to wondering about records with mantra-like titles. what are some other examples? is there a "nothing negative only positive" out there?

Prepare Thyself to Deal With a Miracle. That's always seemed like the most badass title ever to me.

sorry if this is a loser question. i just like the concept of an album bearing some stylistic mission statement as its title. and this facedowninshit album is incredibly nasty, which makes the title perfectly descriptive and literal. i guess mission statement was a bit misleading. perhaps i should have said something like album title as literal or stylistic description. dead-on adjectives and the like.

"This is Our Music" -- The Ornette Coleman Quartet. Somehow, though, Galaxie 500's "This is Our Music" doesn't carry the same charge. And I'm a Dean Wareham fan.

Yeah, tons of Ornette titles. And, more slyly, Dolphy's "Out" discs.
