Any others that you can think of -- it doesn't have to be related to the star's [alleged or actual] criminal activity, it could just be a really stupid album title (like REO Speedwagon's You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish).

Pretty Boy Floyd- Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz.
Does it get any worse?

Anyway, Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz isn't nearly as unfortunate as the band's fate, but that album title is exactly what they were trying to project, and it's unforgettably amusing. So, can't say it's unfortunate.
Todd Rundgren owns this thread:* Todd Rundgren Runt: The Ballad Of Todd Rundgren* Todd Rundgren A Wizard/A True Star* Todd Rundgren Todd* Todd Rundgren The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect
Felt completely own this thread, and their albums are even better* Felt Crumbling The Antiseptic Beauty* Felt Let The Snakes Crinkle Their Heads To Death* Felt Forever Breathes The Lonely Word* Felt Absolute Classic Masterpieces Vol. 1 (and Vol 2. as well)
(Actually, in all of the above, the more unfortunate the album title, the less unfortunate the actual album is.. and vice versa)
Others where the unfortunate album title was a signal for the album quality:* Built To Spill Ancient Melodies Of The Future ("I know! we'll, uh, have two conflicting words in the title... oh forget it")
* Starship Knee Deep In The Hoopla ("Someone's always playing corporation games!... who cares, they're always making shitty album names!")
* Liliput More Songs (fine band, until this album.. the title pretty much describes the enthusiasm in the record perfectly... "oh.. well.. yeah.. some *yawn* songs")
* AC/DC '74 Jailbreak (EP of great outtakes that were all released after 1974... exactly what the title implies. ?????)
* A House On Our Big Fat Merry-Go-Round (Winner of the Out-Morrissey-the-first-Morrissey-album-title contest of the year 1988)

Well, quite. The Notorious B.I.G.'s debut album, released when he was alive, was 'Ready To Die'. Then his follow-up, released when he was dead, was 'Life After Death'.

'In a darkened gallery at Greene Naftali, Chan has suspended a long, narrow, two-sided screen. Projected on both sides is a desolate landscape with a barren tree. Smoke billows and birds gather, stars traverse the night sky, sunrise and sunset come and go, and an interval of Rothko-like haze appears midway. Early on, a vulture pilfers Biggie Smalls's coat and brings it to a naked man (supposedly Pasolini) on the reverse screen. Later, photographers fire flashbulbs, lovers kiss, and hunters kill the birds. In one of the seven sequences, reams of paper blow through the air in a Jeff Wall/Hiroshige-like tempest. Finally, an army of suicide bombers triggers an Armageddon. All this to the sound of chirping birds and ringing cell phones. Chan combines history, desire, and revelation with nightmare—what the Bible called "the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen."'

Isn't there also the theory that anyone who names their album FOREVER is dooming themselves? (Bobby Brown, Spice Girls, Puff Daddy)
This didn't happen with Wu-Tang though. They're still around, and they followed Forever with an even better album.

Again not an album title, but the last song Eddie Cochran recorded before his fatal crash was "Three Steps To Heaven".

Re upthread. "Bankstatement" was not Tony Banks' first solo album. It was his fourth, except it wasn't a solo album because Bankstatement was the name of the band the album was supposed to be recorded by.
He has done the same trick later too - maybe thinking the fact that he doesn't sing himself makes him more likely to succeed if being marketed as part of a band (kind of the way Mike Rutherford has actually succeeded)
