What are some good ones? What are some bad ones? Was it a good decision to have the album be self-titled?
It always bugs me when bands do this. Often they're in the press going "it's self-titled because it's our artistic identity condensed into a single album! It's our mission statement!" but what it really means is they're trying hard for a commercial comeback. The Mötley Crüe album from the 90s is a hilarious example because it didn't even really sound like them

We need more Led Zeppelins and Chicagos that number their albums, but keep it going always. King Gizzard should have done this - wouldn’t you have loved arguing “but XXIV isn’t quite IX”

I'd say that would be fairly accurate for BOTH of the Stone Temple Pilots releases.
