What are some albums that convinced you to download them from cover art alone?
>>55162638
Cherry bomb
>>55162638
I liked it.
Best black metal release of 2015 and best cover art of 2015
>>55162783
The fuck is this? Can't find any info on this.
>>55162942
An Irish Folk album which came out in 1999.
I found it on a sharethread a while back, the cover along convinced me to download it.

Who keeps spamming this album?! Ive seen this shit in at least five threads and from what I've seen, nobody likes it.

Also favourite record of 2015 so far
>>55162638

Sweet trip
>>55162638
>download

I bought pic related because of nice cover art. It's actually good too.
its hideous and i love it
check i out if you've ever felt the urge to the hear R.E.Ms take on a southern gothic
It's a shame the album is utter shit tho.
>>55163145

Have you ever been to an art class? This is the first thing kind of thing you will draw, because they always start off with teaching perspective
>>55162715
>>55162764
look like advertise signs
You Can't Take It With You - As Tall As Lions
>>55166105
I knew of him before but this is still one of the best cover arts I've seen.
>>55165714
i have no idea how or why these guys are as popular as they are. their production quality is absolutely dire compared to other big "EDM" names
>>55166335
They still have sick cover art
>>55163145
Album name? Reverse image search does nothing
>>55162660
True
>>55165778
the album cover is from a short film retard
>>55163051
I've been posting it fairly regularly since 2011. It's one of my favourite albums.
>>55162764
this for me.
also pic related
>>55163051
super popular when it first came out, some mutatoes still stick to it i guess. No idea where you've seen the dislike.
>>55162710
I fucking loved it until I found out the "samples" are more or less just shortened cuts of the originsl stuff.
The music is good, but the wrong guy gets the credit.
>>55165778
>Not seeing the beauty in enigmatic imagery through simplistic motifs.
You missed the theory part of art school, anon.
>>55162638
That is interesting
Extremely glad I did too. Was exactly what I was hoping for from the cover, and a whole lot more.
Seriously, it is that good
>>55163145
wut is this

Mirror (Andrew Chalk, Christoph Heemann) has really great album art. So far I prefer Andrew Chalk's solo albums though.
>>55162792
Same here.
>>55163680
I have the red version printed on... hand-made paper (?), it looks pretty cool. http://www.discogs.com/Ksi%C4%99%C5%BCyc-Ksi%C4%99%C5%BCyc/release/1308045
Never heard any of their stuff and this was really cool
Should listen to more like it
The music isn't my thing, unfortunately. Upbeat chiptune + piano, sounds like something a happy fan of vintage video games would love.

Jung an Tagen – Äussere
It's also pretty good. Very repetitive, sounds almost like it's the same catchy but slightly dissonant melody throughout that's constantly interrupted and starts again. I think I can hear a Oneohtrix Point Never influence too.
This one very recently. I kept giving it a try, being put off because of how different it sounds from how I imagined, and then coming back just for the artwork. I finally decided to give it a full try this time, and I fucking loved it. It's a really good album.
I actually thought about making a thread like this last night.
Additional challenge: Album covers that are significantly better than the actual album.
>>55169672
i was so disappointed ; _ ;
>>55169702
At least their later albums are all incredible (with the exception of Chiastic Slide). I think TDR should be sued for false advertisement on this one, though. It should have been the cover for Tri Repetae instead.
>>55169628
I had something similar. I expected it to sound more spacey and ambient judging by the album artwork, but what I got sounded way too lively.
Eventually I went in expecting that, and found it's really good, and once you actually get the album, you realize that the cover fits surprisingly well.
now I love them
>>55162638
Found it just a few days before the RYM review
>>55170476
Yeah, this. I was expecting it to be a lot more relaxing and introspective, but it's actually the exact opposite. I do agree that the artwork fits well now.
Totally worth it.
>>55168200
my nigger sleeps album art is always god tier
>>55169702
I too was disappointed by baroness
>>55168933
Artwork for Sacred Bones' artists is awful but it would be worse without the text.
>>55167860
>>55162764
and pic related are the trifecta of album arts
>>55169672
>>55168248
You think Bloom's nicer looking than Teen Dream?
Teen Dream's palewave as fuck
>>55164138
same and i didnt like it my first time. maybe i should relisten.
I'm a sucker for the simple things
>>55170677
How did it become a meme? Does it have to do with that review?
Interesting shit too
>>55174394
I love the Coup, but this album was mad disappointing.
