Ooh, I wanna contribute to the Long Titles discussion! Firstly, here's the tracklisting for The Red Sparowes album "At the Soundless Dawn":
1. Alone and Unaware, the landscape was transformed in front of our eyes. 2. Buildings began to stretch wide across the sky, and the air filled with a reddish glow. 3. The soundless dawn came alive as cities began to mark the horizon. 4. Mechanical sounds cascaded through the city walls and everyone reveled in their ignorance. 5. A brief moment of clarity broke through the deafening hum, but it was too late. 6. Our happiest days slowly began to turn into dust. 7. The sixth extinction crept up slowly, like sunlight through the shutters, as we looked back in regret...
And I'll also throw in a song by a band called Thriller: "There's no way you're wearing denim and I'm wearing leather. We're either all wearing denim or we're all wearing leather."
And a song by The Cho Experiment: "standing on the edge of infinity with a gun in your hand watching as the worm writhes and dies At your feet and pleads as it bleeds and tells the stories of long ago when Kings once ruled but also had sway on the Affects of Time without tripping on fallen limbs layed by all who Once tread where you stand at infinity with a gun in Your hand when the worm dies"

If obliquely.

I mean the rest of their albums are pretty f***ing stellar too...but nothing quite beats their s/t.

I wanted to add the album title to Fiona Apple's second record, "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," but then found that even that title is now outdone by Soulwax's "Most of the remixes we've made for other people over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn't think sounded good enough or just didn't fit in length-wise, but including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply because they haven't been released yet, a few we really love, one we think is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent," which in turn was outdone by Chumbawumba when they released "The Boy Bands Have Won, and All The Copyists and The Tribute Bands and The TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture To Be Shaped By Mimicry, Whether From Lack Of Ideas Or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try To Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother’s Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don’t Just Regurgitate Creative History, Or Hold Art And Music And Literature As Fixed, Untouchable And Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try To ‘Guard’ Any Particular Form Of Music Are, Like The Copyists And Manufactured Bands, Doing It The Worst Disservice, Because The Only Thing That You Can Do To Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It’s Over, Then It’s Done, and The Boy Bands Have Won" (and while I haven't kept track over the years, I'm 99% sure this is the longest sentence I've ever constructed).

If obliquely. Agreed. It's a fantastic album.

Bal Sagoth. Anyone else heard of them? They are the uncrowned kings of ridiculously long song titles. Seriously. Go look them up. The names of their songs are epic. If Bal-Sagoth are the kings, then Nile has to come a close second. It's hard to top titles like "Chapter of Obeisance Before Giving Breath to the Inert One in the Presence of the Crescent Shaped Horns" or "Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks from He Who Is in the Water". How could I have forgotten about Nile? "Libation Unto the Shades Who Lurk in the Shadows of the Temple of Anhur" has always been one of my favorites.
