This is what I love everytime a new album comes out, all these little things that everyone gets so excited about! :D

Well it could be a play on word's and be a name. Major is a military rank, and also means "the dominant, or bigger, thing" while minus (-) refers to making something negative. So they're sort of opposites, but I think it's a name, like Sgt. Pepper.

I really like how it sounds! And it all makes sense!:D But I still don't know how they will relate this to UFO's and graffiti :shrug:

I dont know about the UFO´s, but the graffiti could be some sort of representation of the revolution/rebel forces that want stop with the media hipnosis?:confused:

Yeah, it's pretty exciting! It makes me remember of the days before Viva came out :D

That's exactly it. Like the White Rose Movement.

Major is a military rank

 

i thought of this just now, too!

 

so, Major Minus could be a name, Major Minus Media could be some sort of underground/resistance radio communication system, eh? :wacko:

That´s it!

 

And another thing that makes me think that this is the album´s title is the eye theme all over the boys chlotes, that relates to Major Media´s lyrics

Yeah, it's pretty exciting! It makes me remember of the days before Viva came out :D

Yes indeed! We'd freak out about every tiny word that appeard on some coverart! :laugh3:

Hmmm, idk...the album art could be a number of things. Like the radio tower for instance...

And this makes a lot of sense with Major Minus' lyrics! "They got one eye watching you, and one on what you do..."

I was on to something like that too...also if you guys listen to the lyrics Chris says "You got one eye watching what do" , "don't believe the word its just us against the world" it can have double meaning as in perhaps being against the media and extra- terrestial beings?

Yes indeed! We'd freak out about every tiny word that appeard on some coverart! :laugh3:

 

yes :lol: but I don't know, it seems to me that lp5 is still far away, you know? :( I mean, they already played some new songs but we still don't know nothing about the tracklist or the album title, or when it's coming out :\ I hope we'll get some news soon!

It's either they, or we. Not you. "You got one eye watching you" makes not sense.

It's either they, or we. Not you. "You got one eye watching you" makes not sense.

 

i think "you got one eye watching you" makes sense. it may not be entirely correct grammatically, but it could be the equivalent of saying "they're watching you."

Oooh! I see what you mean. Ok, that makes sense.

I also thought Major Minus might mean "a big, huge negative thing", as has been stated here. I also like the military rank interpretation. I like all of this, all of these speculations. I wish there was some kind of way the Major Minus Media could brainwash me so it would appear as if ETIAW never existed... Yeah, all this has got me excited again.

 

I'd like to add that the lyric "Us against the world" in the title track (we can safely say now, although you never know), which is also a song title, could refer to the White Rose Movement.

 

It all makes sense... Or maybe it doesn't, and it's all just a coincidence and it all means nothing, and tomorrow we will wake up and it has all been just a dream... :dizzy::dizzy2::wacko:

^ I like that theory

Oh ok ok, this was my first thought this morning, but the wordreference vocabulary didn't report any translation in Italian about the military rank, so I rejected this idea :D thinking I was inventing new words hehehehe :D

 

So if you confirm the opinion about a military subject this wiki page tells us something more about this theory

I think that it isn't the title of the album mainly because during one of the new songs we can see a big M followed by xylobrytes in the back so i think this is part of the title like micro xylobrytes or something like that!

"Xylo" for xylophone which you can hear at the beginning of hurts like heaven and brytes maybefor an english word i don't know or smth else! :D

putting the word Media into the title is so not...artistic. I'd rather keep it Major Minus.

 

Hahhahaha reading the posts above it seems as though WE are settling for how OUR album will be called :D Compassion or what?

Ooooh this is exciting stuff! I'm not too sure if I like the name yet though hm, if it turns out to be the album title, It'll probably grow on me, the song itself sounds awesome!

Hahaha I feel like a total idiot.. I don't think I'd come to this conclusions even if I tried.. :P But amazing stuff you all! I love speculations and it makes total sense! =)

And this: Guy is quoted in Jan 2011 Q magazine as saying when asked about the album name:

 

"I don't want to say. It will probably begin with M. Two words."

I hope it will not be Major Minus Media. But just Major Minus. Awesome name for a album

Major Minus has been stuck in my head all day. I'm hoping it's the title of LP5 for realsies. Then my favorite new song can also be the title track! :dazzled:
