Dark Angel Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) Yes, of course it made sense, and that is how I also feel about it. It's not a massive deal, obviously, and to me it won't make a difference what the album is actually called if I like the contents, but we're perfectly entitled to express how we think the title is good or not anyway , aye. Of course we are Ok, in all seriousness now, after I saw a few posts saying 'leave the guy alone', etc...: It's not a big deal. Why does any bit of "semi criticism" against something that Mika does or say always have to be construed as a big problem? So, some of us happen to think that it's not the greatest name. It's only our personal opinion. Big deal! It's NOT a big issue, or a big problem, and it's not something that will concern Mika in the slightests. Let's not lose perspective of reality here, we're just a bunch of fans giving opinions , that's all there is to it. I still think that he could have found a much nicer title. And that's it. Amen...

Shikutukumimika Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I really don't give a shizzle about what he calls it, even if he would call it The Tales of Toyboy in a Golden Lollipopland with Dr. John helping him and other characters out of my fanfreakingtastic imaginary world I would actually love it if he names it like that.

Christine Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 But then the acronym would be CCOMB - that's not as catchy as WAG - more like a hairdresser with a stammer:aah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzuzu Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks WAG reminds of Joni Mitchell's song Woodstock? "We are stardust Billion year old carbon We are golden Caught in the devil's bargain And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden" Just wrote him on Twitter and asked if he thought about it when he was choosing the name. Anyways I love the idea of it and WAG makes me feel like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika: The album's name is WAGGIE and has its artwork done by my sister WACK, oh and btw all my fans call me MEEKS and I sent flowers to TEEGS....

Louiza Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 PS Ideally, you give the title based on the concept of the whole album... Has anyone heard the album to judge if it was the right decision? thats exactly what i was thinking. we havent heard the album yet so we cant tell whether the title is based on the concept of the new record or not. just because it is the title of a track as well it doesnt mean that it doesnt capture the concept of the album. in my opinion this title fits with the whole theme about the teenage years that mika's been talking about in most of the interviews.

xlindee Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I opted for the 2nd option... It's not that I find it horrible or anything, but I really was expecting something more along the lines of life in cartoon motion. I never would have imagined that the title would just be the title song... You know? Exactly. 2. I really expected something like Licm again. I personally don't like it when any artist names his album after a single. But...most artists do it that way. Yeah me too. That's why I like Mika, because he didn't do that. See, I differ. To me it's not about whether the title fits with the album. It's just about how it sounds. I find We Are Golden too 'obvious' and uncreative a title. Life in Cartoon Motion to me was quite a clever little title, it was fresh and had a nice play on words, but We Are Golden is just....I can't really explain it, but for me it doesn't hit the spot. In my opinion, it's sort of kitsch if you like. It just doesn't convey (IMO again) brilliant yet classy and quality things, it's a bit too 'in your face', too 'boasty' and just verging on the vulgar side of things. Just a bit too 'blingy', like those rappers with tons of gold chains around their necks. That is the mental image that it conveys in my brain. Obviously this is how I see it, and I'm not saying that others should see it that way. Just saying that I feel a bit disappointed because I expected something with more weight to it and just 'classier' and more creative and original if I may say so. Exactly. Nothing more to add. Why not just go all out and call it MIKA? Or just ''TWO!'', or ''This is my second album yo.'' I really don't give a shizzle about what he calls it, even if he would call it The Tales of Toyboy in a Golden Lollipopland with Dr. John helping him and other characters out of my fanfreakingtastic imaginary world Hell no, that's a horrible albumtitle:mf_rosetinted: Yeaah sounds catchy, doesn't it and to make it shorter we can say SM I just wanted to say that:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neiobi Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) I chose the second one- Even though I also feel like I just want to hear the song and the album already:aah: I know I won't care when I do so. AND I don't want to judge Mika in any way for naming the album after the single.. Ok, it'll be a bit confuse, but a lot of other artists do that too, and maybe it wasn't because he wanted it as many said. AND if he wanted it? I'm no one to question him on why did he choose for something a bit repetitive. It's his choice, and IMO, it doesn't make him less of an artist. But yeah I was hoping for something else:pinkbow: But I'm happy enough by just knowing the damn title:naughty: Don't think people should start panicking over this. Might be aswell a marketing strategy for a particular track, but it can be so much more than that. I know when I hear the album I won't be worried about its title. Just the content! But in the end.. I was hoping for something more creative like LICM:dunno: But maybe what's inside it makes up for this. Edited July 15, 2009 by Neiobi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thy Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Where is the "I think mika had a short thought about the title and I wait until I heard it and until I got to see the album artwork before I judge about the title of it"? Sorry, but I can't judge about something before I had it in my hands and ears. I can't see the future. Not even with my purple sunglasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Angel Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 To me it's not about whether the title fits with the album. It's just about how it sounds. Totally agree!!!!! What i was trying to say earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could accept that if he had been more committed to the track and the title of the album a long time ago. There was talk in April of Blame it on the Girls being the first single and it sounded like up until very recently Mika was undecided about the album title. If this title so perfectly conveys the concept I would have expected him to have been working around it for months. I think it's going to be spun that way after the fact but I'm not convinced.

huikings Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Exactly. Or just ''TWO!'', or ''This is my second album yo.' i prefer TWO! what a powerful name:teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veroMica Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I don't like it when artists name an album after a song. Of course Suzie's and Louiza's point is completely valid and I agree, but it's just a personal opinion I've always had: you created lots of songs, you can create one more title! (WW, your siggy! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlindee Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah. At first there was all of this ''Ooh, it's a surprise, the title is still unknown'' thing going on. So I read it and was like: It just made me feel like he hadn't put much thought in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlindee Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 i prefer TWO! what a powerful name:teehee: Oh yeah, and it's short and catchy. There is actually a Dutch band which has released their 4th album recently, and they just called it ''VIER'', which means ''FOUR''. Also Led Zeppelin did this, they just called their first album I, their second album II etc. Like I said: Short and catchy, and it isn't a name of one of the tracks. Ofcourse I'm not serious and I don't really want it to be called TWO or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
