I am about to release my second album, though this is pretty much my lifes work and will probably be my last album. I wrote the material from the ages of 18-21, a time when my disease almost caused me to take my life on numerous occasions. It was a struggle to survive everyday. I'm a manic-depressive, also known as genetic bi-polar disorder. I'll have to struggle with the disease for the rest of my life, but I am beginning to reclaim my life.
I'm thinking of titling the album 'Confessions of a Manic Depressive'
What do you guys think?

it sounds like a good title, but more importantly i hope that you can reclaim your life so that you can continue to do what you love. i hope that this is not your last album.

To be honest, it's a downer and a bit dull. You want to create interest in your work, not scare it away. I'd suggest the same message can be delivered more appealingly with some humor, some irony. Harry Chapin's "Dance Band on the Titanic" comes to mind as a compelling title that plays on a similar theme. Likewise, James Taylor's "Knocking Around the Zoo", about his time in an institution. Both make the audience want to hear what the artist has to say.

i would like to hear some of you're music. I'm sure there is alot to learn from the experience you have had.The title would make a very interesting book and I would read it, but for the music I would probably pick my most favorite song, or the one that describes what you have felt the deepest about and title it that.

it's interesting and full of feeling. Most people don't even think about the bands album title, most of the time its just random stuff, that the fans don't understand. So if your feeling the title and happy with it, then keep it. But if your still unsure maybe play around with it a bit.
Love to hear your stuff, Leave a link to your myspace or something.

i think titles that start with "confessions of..." are used to much. it's not bad, but if you want the title to really pop out, why not something like:
1. disease: mood, mind, soul
2. the mood pill
3. the mind ailment

yeah, that's good.
but i wouldn't limit yourself to that right away; think about it some more and gather some more suggestions; you might get something you like better
