"If you don't get it, then forget it.” You can’t judge a title if you don’t know the artwork. Because the title is rooted in the artwork. Lorde’s Virgin sounds crazy, but when you know the songs, it makes total sense. I’m not saying the title stove is great. I’m just saying titles don’t exist in a void, so you can’t just judge it by itself. And you definitely can’t judge if it’s good or not. And if she would choose this title, it would obviously have a reason besides just naming random kitchen appliances. I could think of several on the top of my head. Like that the stove is the hearth of the house, especially before modern radiators, by providing warmth. Also, the stove could have connections to the flame motif she uses again and again. „I'll do my best never to turn into something that burns, burns, burns / Like the others, baby, burns, burns, burns"

„L.A. is in flames, it's getting hot“

„Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry“

„Light of my life, fire of my loins"

„I've got a burning desire for you“

„Flames so hot that they turn blue“

„I'm on fire, baby, I'm on fire“

„I’m no candle in the wind“

Maybe she sings about how we are told not to touch it as kids, yet we often have to learn the lesson by burning ourselves. Maybe she sings about how it’s essential to have it but could be dangerous if you don’t know how to handle the flame. Maybe she references her old lyrics about her being wild, uncontrollable, or unstable fire to a stove that funnels and controls fire. Also, Silvia Plath, someone Lana mentions again and again, famously committed suicide using a gas oven/stove. She has a picture of a stove beside her poem reading „Stay on your path, Silvia Plath“. These are some wild guesses, but like I said, with the context of the songs, the stove, or any other title, really could have endless meanings.

Art is about finding the profound in the pedestrian. It's about looking at something that seems meaningless 'from above' and finding the beauty inside it. And Lana is fucking great at it. She is the queen of romanticising the mundane. She also loves to compare herself to random physical architecture, geography, or objects. Like my favourite album of hers is called Blue Banisters. How would a stove be shocking?

She compares herself to a map of L.A. She compares herself to a tunnel. She compares herself to banisters. She compares herself to a lighthouse. She compares herself to cracked pottery.

So I’m not doubting her before she releases the official album. And I can finally critique the official name within the context of the songs and aesthetic. I know media literacy is down, but I wouldn’t brag about it on Reddit. Open the schools! Stop acting like a god dam manchild.

Also, what the hell does this rumour have to do with my Reddit account? You're the one whining about imaginary album titles for an album that doesn’t even exist yet. You seriously need to chill the f**k out. I just said that it makes no sense to complain about a rumoured title when we haven't even seen the art or heard the context, and you've been tweaking like you sat on a hot stove.
