Bands often use catchy album titles and some sound like they have a whole story to tell.
Curious to see what the longest or quirkiest album titles are.

I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass - Yo La Tengo
Show your Bones - Yeah Yeah Yeah
Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not - Arctic monkeys
One day it will please us to remember even this - New York dolls
Good news for people who love bad news - Modest Mouse
When it's all over we still have to clear up - Snow Patrol
We have the facts and we’re voting yes - Death Cab for Cutie
Mellon collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing pumpkings
And then nothing turned itself inside out - Yo La Tengo
The creek drank the cradle - Iron and Wine

When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind is Your Might So When You Go Solo. You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand. Then You'll Know Where To Land And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You Know That You're Right - Fiona Apple

An obvious competitor.

Way more than likely.

I am already searching to see what that album looks like. I'm betting it comes w/o graphics.
