Late Eponymous Albums and Eponymous Songs Too 

Interesting video. Peter. Matt Bianco's 2nd record, The Velvet Underground's 3rd, and Love & Rockets' 4th are all eponymous.

Cool video idea. 😎 Hypocrisy's 6th album was called Hypocrisy. Dimmu Borgir did a cool song called Dimmu Borgir.

Another great video Peter, I always enjoy your 'Music is a Journey' videos........ I can understand a bands first album being eponymous, but it does seem odd to do it with a later album, watching your video reminded me of a set of songs that I played on my radio show where the link between the songs was that the song on a particular album was also the title of a different album, for example Led Zeppelins 'Houses of the Holy, I did a bit of research and there are many examples of this....... it's another odd thing to do.

great video as always 🙂 Iron Maiden has always been played live I believe, usually ending the set. how about Motörhead for an eponymous cover song? can't be many of them about!

Very interesting look at and thoughts about that particular naming… trend. Odd how some bands never do it, some will do it on their debut and some randomly and all over the place. Like Weezer, forcing people to colour code their records to tell them apart.

Hey. here's a cynical take: The late eponymous album = "we were too lazy to think up an album title". Not saying this is reallya thing, but sometimes it almost seems that way. The metallica s/t record was their worst up to that point (in my opinion) even though it sold a lot of copies. One inexplicable one is -- Genesis - Genesis. Really guys? Come on. I think doing eponymous songs is a cool idea and my former band made one early on, giving it our band's name, "Demontage". Kind of feel like you must put special effort into a track like that. There are some cool slight variations too, like Agent Steel with their track "Agents of Steel".
