but seriously, I do recall an interview with D-able-bodied chap talking about how it can be translated differently etc.

Wasn't it something like "Those Insane Gods" ?



But I'm pretty sure someone on here who did Latin or spoke to a Latin professor about it, explained on here how it was a little wrong.

That was me. I have a Master's degree in Classics (Latin/Greek/Ancient History), and am currently a Ph.D candidate in the same field. Dave, or whoever came up with the title, made a horrible mistake in trying to piece together a Latin phrase. It looks like he merely picked up a Latin/English dictionary and took the dictionary entry of each word he wanted and slapped them together. For Latin, or any inflected language for that matter, this won't work.



Latin, as mentioned above, is an inflected language. That means that the endings of the word change in relation to how they work grammatically in a clause. English is 99.9% not an inflected language. A rare example of where it is retained is in he/his/him. "He" can only be the subject of a sentence (i.e., He went to the store and bought Tom's old book). "His" can only be a possessive (i.e., Dave drove his car off a cliff), the pronoun "his" can refer to Dave, its direct antecedent, or somebody else as English can be rather unclear with its pronouns, but, regardless, the "his" in this sentence is always related to possession. "Him" can be a direct object, the object of a preposition, or an indirect object. You could never say, for example, "Him went to the store to buy his's old book, which he then threw at he."



This level of ridiculousness is what the name of the album sounds like in Latin.



I posted about this on here, and on MA's official Facebook page... maybe Dave actually saw my post... who knows.





I was going to paste my original post here, but there seems to be some kind of word-altering program on the board here, so a lot of what I said has certain words manipulated.

The word altering 'joke' on this forum is annoying but don't let it bother you to post stuff.
