the black album

The name Black Album has been given to several albums, either officially or by fans to refer to a self-titled album. Notable Black Albums include:

''The Black Album by The Damned (1980){The Damned are the first to use this now notible title in an offical release}
The Black Album by Boyd Rice (1981)
This Is Spinal Tap by Spinal Tap (1984)
Metallica by Metallica (1991), generally referred to as The Black Album, even by members of the band.
The Black Album by Prince (1994)
The Black Album by rapper Jay-Z (2003)

The trend of naming an album by the color of its packaging can probably be traced back to The Beatles' self-titled album, which is generally known as The White Album, the first of which was done as a statement of punk as the "new music" by The Damned by reversing the packaging exactly to black & embosing The Damned in the place of The Beatles from the White Album. There are also several albums known as The Blue Album, two called The Off-White Album (one by Martin Newell, the other by Dennis Miller), and one album known as The Green Album (by Weezer). Also of note is The Grey Album, by DJ Danger Mouse, a remix of Jay-Z's Black Album with The Beatles' White Album. See also List of sets of unrelated albums with identical titles
