[Jondalar]

You guys have come up with some great titles. Come up with some more and I will redo this poll to add them to the choices.

Those titles do lend themselves to an easy joke if the critics decide to pan the album.

For myself, I would take a lyrical phrase that intrigued me like Mix Down, but, generally speaking, I don't think that would be good for marketing. Michele

Exactly! So true.

Night Gallery is very fitting, especially since she lived like a vampire for years and probably wrote these songs at night.

And Timespace.

I think I'd prefer her to go the CV/TOSOTM route and use a lyric rather than a song title. None of these really cry out to me, but All the Beautiful Worlds suits me fine. Especially given how she describes her songs as "little worlds". Although I'd prefer it be shortened to simply The Beautiful Worlds.

Starshine and Sanctuary aren't bad. Certainly better than the working title.

R there any lyrics in these demos that would make a good album title?

Set Me Free springs to mind as a choice that speaks to the theme of releasing old songs from the vault, without being quite so tacky and clumsy sounding as the current working title.

But that's just off the top of my head. I'm not overly familiar with her demos and their lyrics. I mean, I guess she could name it anything she likes and as long as the content is good nobody is really going to mind much post-release.

It would be a good title. But then it'd mean that Night Gallery would probably be on the album! And that I'm just not so sure about.

I mean, I don't dislike the song myself, but it's not one of those I'd point to and say "look how awesome this woman is!". It's one someone else might point to and I would sheepishly respond "... Yeeeeaaaaahhh. That's a thing."

I think Forest of the Black Roses would be the best if she were to use a song title (which I guess she is). I think almost any of those would be better than 24k Gold, tbh. It sounds like a hits collection to me. But no matter what the title is I'll still be happy because at the end of the day it's the content that I'm looking forward to.

All the Beautiful Worlds seems like the perfect encapsulation of Stevie's idea of songwriting and what each song represents, which makes it perfect for this particular collection which is, presumably, not thematically linked or representing a particular place in life, but is about her songwriting and recording process. You know: for the fans.

I think Songs From the Vault is the best title. If all of these tracks are from her collection of gems from the past it makes for a great album title, not to mention a great PR story for the press to promote the disc.

[BlueLight]

I voted for All The Beautiful Worlds, but agree that Mistress Of My Fate would be a perfect album title.

[Jondalar]

Does anybody have any different titles that are good?
