Black album

A rip off title that "Jay-Z" stole from Metallica.

Person 1: "Man, can't 'rappers' be original like they say they are?!"
Person 2: "Yeah, man, I know!"

Black album

After Viktor Tsoi died tragically in a car accident near Riga, the Russian rock band Kino released an album without a title, though it is always cited as Chornyy albom (Russian for The Black Album) since it has a wholly black cover.

- My favourite album from Kino is the one without title.
- Which one is that?
- You know, the Black album.

black album

Metallica album released in 1991, it was officially self-titled, it was nicknamed "black album" after the completely dark black art cover. Metallica's most popular album, sold over 10 million copies.

the Black Album may have made them the biggest selling heavy metal band, but Master of Puppets is their best album in my opinion.

black album

An album released by an established band or musician that ends up falling below expectations. The album is still good, but not nearly as good as the previous releases. All further albums continue the downward trend to mediocrity. Originates from Metallica's self titled album which is popularly known as "The Black Album" due to its all black cover.

"The Dungeonmaster's Guide" is Dieselboy's black album.
