Perhaps you meant to refer to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Capital letters#Composition titles rather than WP:ALBUMCAPS (in which I see no mention of sentence case or all-caps). Whatever the guidelines exactly say, to me it seems a bit odd to use a different capitalization for a band and an album of the same name. (This is not an expression of an opinion about which capitalization should be used here.) —BarrelProof (talk) 18:45, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is in sentence case. The vast majority of sources reference the album and band in ALLCAPS in sentences. -- Netoholic @ 03:51, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. There should be consistency between the two articles. Nohomersryan (talk) 00:40, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per MOS:TM, WP:ALBUMCAPS, WP:OFFICIALNAME, etc. The first rule of MOS:CAPS is use lower case when sources are not overwhelmingly consistent in capitalizing, and that is the case here. If even iTunes (the first or second largest music distributor, depending on whose stats you trust) uses lower case, this argument is already over. A WP:CONSISTENCY argument is invalid (per WP:GAMING, WP:LAWYER) when the only thing to compare it to is one thinly attended discussion dominated by fans that favored mimicking the logo (which the band does not consistently use!!!), versus tens, probably hundreds, of thousands of articles on commercial entities and products with all-caps logos that are nevertheless at sentence-case WP article titles. It's a completely ass-backwards idea of what WP:CONSISTENCY policy says and means.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  22:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Seems logical that this should be consistent with the band name. The arguments made in that RM all stand -- it's outright silly for us to use an imagined name different from reliable sources when we know what the correct one is.--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:41, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
