Album Title Choice
 
I hope Stevie chooses a shorter title this time around.

I think those such as "The Other Side of The Mirror" and "Trouble in Shangri-La" were too long. It all comes down to the number of syllables. Mirror was 8 syllables, Trouble was 6.

Based on the new tracks we know of, I think "Italian Summer" would be a cool title. Even "In Your Dreams" would be interesting as would "The Ghosts Are Gone".

Let's look at it this way:

Stevie Nicks - Italian Summer (5 syllables)
Stevie Nicks - In Your Dreams (3 syllables)
Stevie Nicks - The Ghosts are Gone (4 syllables)

I would like to hear what you guys think!

Does anyone have any single word titles that work for this release? Just curious.

I think self-titled would be kewl, old school, and new at the same time.
Just
'Stevie Nicks'


Sort of like a return to the 'BN' release before the 'Fleetwood Mac' 1975 release.
Using 'Stevie Nicks' as the title could hint that the contents within are too important to give the work a title. Or, a "whole new old way of naming an album"- used in 1973 and 1975, but not since.

DNW Italian Summer as an album title, it's just cheesy, even as a song title.
I really like The Ghosts Are Gone, but In Your Dreams is more "Stevie".

I hope it's not "The Ghosts are Gone", because it will be abbreviated "TGAG" on message boards like this. I don't want to have to refer to a Stevie album as TGAG! :-)

how about Eurythnicks :laugh:

just bringing in the Dave Stewart connection.

i am really looking forward to hearing the new stuff though, Dave Stewart is very talented and i think he and Stevie will blend well.

Hope hope hope it isn't "In Your Dreams." It's just a bit *too* "Stevie."

I'm personally one for the self-titled Stevie Nicks album. Aside from being a debut, many bands have used t for a big change in sound.

Definitely dig 'The Ghosts Are Gone'

I like this idea.

I don't see her going with a self titled thing, it's too plain. If she doesn't use a song title, then she'll go the OSOTM route and use a line or phrase from one the album's songs. Remember she didn't even call her collection albums "Greatest Hits" or "Best Of".

Sargasso--as in the Sargasso Sea, with all the crystal blue green water that she has referred to in her recording history. It's the heart of the Bermuda Triangle--that whole "lost in a sea of love" thing . . .

"STEVIE NICKS - I'll Sit On Your Face" :]

I think In Your Dreams and The Ghosts Are Gone are both amazing song titles, but album titles? Not so much. Also, Italian Summer is kinda cheesy. For What It's Worth may work. I'm hoping she has another amazing song title up her sleeve, or an amazing lyric that is very Stevie.
