Self-titling A CD Is A Sign Of Laziness Or Lack Of Creativity
It's just confusing to give an album the same name as your band. Why would you do that if you could come up with an original name for it?

The title of your Compact Disc, would nicely be named as what the entirety the soul of the disc is: It's Summation, you could say.

Otherwise, as a secondary idea, named after the title of one of the songs within the disc, works well also.

Laziness or lack of creativity are two likelihoods, or another is simply vanity... They want to see their own name in large print.

In any case, yeah, I feel they didn't try very hard. I kind of feel the same way when I see a painting that is untitled. If they cared enough to go to all the trouble to paint the thing then how could they have no idea what to call it? And why should I make an effort to interpret or appreciate their painting when truthfully they didn't try to do that themselves?

I agree with myself. See explaination.

I also think song-titled CDs are a dumb idea, but that's not what this debate is about.

I feel guilty for not commenting when I do have an opinion... I think it shows a lack of presumptuousness, if it's a first album, or a closing of a door if it's a greatest hits. Usually the case for self titled albums.
