Tracklist

edit

Should the tracklist really remain this way? All official sources give a "censored" tracklist (which makes people guess what the tracklist is). The current tracklist is one of those guesses. I have yet to see an official channel post this. And if its official at least a source should be given.Tapio1994 (talk) 18:28, 31 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Rammstein (album)Untitled Rammstein album – The recent title change was both unwarranted and hasty. All professionally published reviews of the album I've seen so far have noted the album as untitled ([1], [2], [3], [4]) and I anticipate more to do so. The band's own website has also noted it as untitled. It would make sense for digital platforms to consider this album to be self-titled because they can't leave the album title blank. The vinyl copy of the album doesn't have the band's name on the label (just their logo) and the CD copy doesn't have the band's name written on it either. Neither physical release has any actual text written on them, which leads me to believe that this album was intended to be untitled and not self-titled. Aria1561 (talk) 01:10, 17 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Metallica's 5th album does in fact have a name; Metallica. The band intended to make it eponymous (sourced claim on article). The name "Metallica" actually appears on the vinyl label and CD as well. Also, the band have retrospectively called it both Metallica and The Black Album ([5]). It also isn't standard practice to make an untitled album self-titled by default. It should be like how it is on Untitled Nas album, where the album was intended to be untitled but it is still unofficially referred to as a self-titled album, so it's at least mentioned.

Follow-up: I know I am the minority, but I still contend it needs to be self titled. We have a firm answer for Metallica's 5th Album in present time, but when it first came out, the press didnt know what to call it, so many started calling it "The Black Album" or self titled. Most of the press are calling this (Rammstein's 7th) a self titled album. It also has "Rammstein" with the logo written on the side. Seems to be a de facto self titled to me. I think it should be self titled until we get further comment from the band. But again, I concede I am in the minority.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BluNite24 (talkcontribs) 02:33, 18 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Again, Metallica intended for that album to be self-titled. That would leave me to believe that it was originally marketed as a self-titled album. It had a finite title from the get-go. Aria1561 (talk) 03:58, 19 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. The album isn't called "Untitled Rammstein Album". Its name is "Rammstein". Wkipedia should not invent name for things. If the album is ramstein, it should remain this way. --Bageense(disc.) 03:43, 20 May 2019 (UTC) I'll think a little more. --Bageense(disc.) 03:44, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia isn't inventing any names here. There is a difference between an album being untitled and an album being titled 'Untitled'. If the album is untitled, then the article should be named "Untitled [artist] album". Yes, it's listed as Rammstein on digital platforms, but that's only because those platforms can't leave the album title blank; they put the artist's name there instead. The band intended for the album to be untitled and the physical formats of the album further indicate it as an untitled album. Aria1561 (talk) 03:46, 22 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
