The majority of album arts are chosen to represent the music in some way and those that aren't become associated with the music when you listen to it, so you eventually perceive the music to sound like the cover anyway.

It would be harder to post albums that don't sound like their cover art.

Yes, this is the perfect example of the cover encapsulating the music

Personally I feel like the music is more abrasive and distorted than this cover shows
>>54035144
Some tracks yes (all cats are grey) other tracks no (primary)
>>54035190
No, their music is about anger and hatred, this cover is about creepiness, it fits the lyrics, but not the music
>>54035252
It fits with some of the ideas of the album but in reality, most of that album is just teenage humour, which this doesn't show at all
>>54035264
Yes, completely
