Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere (May 27, 2016) Album • Page 46

This is fascinating. I didn't know there was actually a correct way of doing this and I've been capitalizing a proposed album title I hope to use in the future completely wrong.

 

you need to take a step back and look at what you're getting upset about.

 

If Blink-182 is willing to call themselves blink-182 for sake of style, then all rules go out the window as far as band names, track names, lyrics and album names.

If Thrice's web site, Vagrant and Amazon are all capitalizing "To," I'm simply asking what the band intended.

Their album cover has the title in all caps so that makes things even more unclear.

 

I'm not upset. I'm just always having to defend myself when I posed a valid question as to what the band intended. Bands stylize names, tracks, lyrics and titles rather often and that's why deferring to Chicago/APA/AP etc. guidelines doesn't answer that question.

If their official site, record company and Amazon have it one way while iTunes has it another way, which one determines what the band intended?

 

What I'm saying is I doubt they wanted to go with the wrong capitalization and don't feel all that strongly about whether the to is capitalized or not. Ask them on Twitter if you really want to know.

 

Perhaps the band felt that it looks better with To capitalized regardless of the rules. That would explain why their official site, record company and Amazon page have it capitalized. Applying conventional wisdom to an industry where style often trumps APA/Chicago/AP rules is not out of the realm of possibility.

 

I really want you to ask the band if they meant to capitalize the to or not and see their response.

 

Choosing to stylize a band name one way versus just being wrong are two different things. This is truly the dumbest argument, of a variety of dumb arguments, you've started on this website. I'm getting so damn tired of it man, I can't keep warning you to knock this shit off before I'm going to just be done with it. This is not a stylistic deviation because it "looks better" - one is correct, one is wrong, and you're driving me up a wall.

 

Honestly I stopped reading at "the point is" because I knew it was going to be followed up with some truly pointless dumb shit.

 

That's entirely possible, I just doubt it's what happened. Either way, you should probably find out before being bothered by what's on iTunes.

 

This is my last post on the subject, but there are countless other examples of bands ignoring the norm for sake of style, such as the spelling of Blink's "Ben Wah Balls." I just went with the first example off the top of my head.

Also, I wouldn't have to explain myself any further but another user insulted my intelligence when he said that title capitalization is taught in high school english class.

Of course I know what the rulebook says, but based on Vagrant/Amazon/Thrice.net's capitalization of To, it was worth asking the question as to what the band intended.

I have nothing but good intentions here.

 

The title is actually tO bE eVERYWHERE iS To bE nOWHERE

 

This album needs to leak if only for this thread's benefit

 

Thrice x ZAYN tour coming to an arena near you.

 

I was going crazy over this a few weeks ago. I am currently ripping my cd collection to FLAC and then backing up the rips to dropbox, many albums have different capitalization depending on the service (itunes, amazon, etc). Don't stress over it.
