album
English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Latin album (“blank white writing tablet”), from albus (“white”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- (historical) In Ancient Rome, a white tablet or register on which the praetor's edicts and other public notices were recorded.
- A book specially designed to keep photographs, stamps, or autographs.
- 2013 June 14, Jonathan Freedland, “Obama's once hip brand is now tainted”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 1, page 18:
- Now we are liberal with our innermost secrets, spraying them into the public ether with a generosity our forebears could not have imagined. Where we once sent love letters in a sealed envelope, or stuck photographs of our children in a family album, now such private material is despatched to servers and clouds operated by people we don't know and will never meet.
- A collection, especially of literary items
- 1965, American Philological Association, Transactions and Proceedings (Press of Case Western Reserve University), volume 96, page 364
- This mixture was to be effected either by drawing the juries partly from the senate (of about 300 members), partly from an album of 300 equites (Plut. CG 5.2, Comp. 2.1), or by adlecting 600 equites into the senate and drawing the juries from this new senatorial order (Liv. Per. 60).
- 1965, American Philological Association, Transactions and Proceedings (Press of Case Western Reserve University), volume 96, page 364
- A phonograph record that is composed of several tracks
- A jacket or cover for such a phonograph record. (Can we add an example for this sense?)
- A group of audio recordings, on any medium, intended for distribution as a group.
- 2012 August 21, Jason Heller, “The Darkness: Hot Cakes (Music Review)”, in The Onion AV Club:
- When the album succeeds, such as on the swaggering, Queen-esque “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us,” it does so on The Darkness’ own terms—that is, as a random ’80s-cliché generator. But with so many tired, lazy callbacks to its own threadbare catalog (including “Love Is Not The Answer,” a watery echo of the epic “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” from 2003’s Permission To Land), Hot Cakes marks the point where The Darkness has stopped cannibalizing the golden age of stadium rock and simply started cannibalizing itself. And, despite Hawkins’ inveterate crotch-grabbing, there was never that much meat there to begin with.
