WORST. ALBUM TITLE. EVER.

Wed, Mar 19, 2008, 4:50 PM

Here in the Nation, we try to avoid judging anything too harshly. Lest we be judged, and all that. For instance, you're not going to see us diss your favorite band (without our tongue planted firmly in cheek), no matter what that band is.

But we could not let this pass.

Rolling Stone reported today that the new Coldplay album will be called, drum roll, VIVA LA VIDA.

That is just... awful.

Ricky Martin connotations aside, VIVA LA VIDA sounds like a flamenco record, or something by Miami Sound Machine featuring Gloria Estefan. 

Of course we must remember, this is a man (Chris Martin) that originally named his band, drum roll, crash cymbal...

Pectoralz!

With these kinds of marketing blunders, and near-blunders, how does Pectoralz... sorry, Coldplay... ever expect to get famous and marry movie stars? 

Oh, wait. 

Well, in any case, how do you think this ranks with some of the worst album titles of all time?

    I think Cold Play should name their new album Hot Work.
