>>60282813

>>60282866
upon closer inspection, perhaps.
It's a hand
its a hand puppet
>>60282901

>>60282846

>>60282970
It's a joke.
>>60282970
I have seen this image dozens of times and I still don't see the ear
>>60282970
Where? Looks like a hand to me desu
>>60282970

>>60283181

>>60283142
More specifically, a minotaur.
>>60283203
peter is wearing a different shirt
also, that's a 6.5/10 ass
>>60283238
>Implying you wouldn't cosey her fanni tutti
>>60283143
>We did the cover so it was a pastiche of something you would find in a Woolworth’s bargain bin. We took the photograph at the most famous suicide spot in England, called Beachy Head. So, the picture is not what it seems, it is not so nicey nicey at all, and neither is the music once you take it home and buy it. We had this idea in mind that someone quite innocently would come along to a record store and see [the record] and think they would be getting 20 really good jazz/funk greats, and then they would put it on at home and they would just get decimated.[4]
>>60282700
To symbolise niggers are oppressed?
>>60283333
>Anony
check'd
>>60283084
Wow
Honestly thought it was an Armpit all this time.
>>60282997
i thought those were carrots
>>60283215
The point is that the artist feels like a minotaur - a monstrous creature useful only for the wicked purposes of those above them, cared about only as a functional (though horrendous) tool. They just want to forget everything, hence the album is called Amnesiac.
>>60283411
they're hotdogs
>>60283447
its actually spaghetti
source: my mom is the one in the picture
>>60283478
I too enjoy a bit of 50 Cent every now and again.

It's a turtle head.
Dennis is feeding the air
>>60282922

>>60283824
Pushing thru the market
square
so many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
we had five years left to cry in
News guy wept and told us
earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
then I knew he was not lying
>>60283958
Now all that's left to be done is a Kanye/Bowie mashup
>>60282901
I thought it always looked like a camel. AND A CAMEL IT WILL STAY
>they're letters and not buildings
It's the colour you see when you look at the sun with your eyes closed.
>>60284410
I thought this for the longest time to looking at it on tiny icons on websites.
Shame to, that would've been a way better idea imofam
>>60284501
No one is retarded to that
>>60284827
huh?
the actual annie's mouth
>>60284827
yslimp nbei
>>60284930
>>60282006
>>60282718
>>60282781
wow im dumb
>>60282006
ah i also used to think it was all weird pieces floating in some misty void and loved that vibe. when i realized it's a patch on a jacket i got bummed out
It's not an actual bear but a bear costume
>>60285022
holy shit....
>>60285022
i refuse to believe this
>>60285022
>>60282042
It's a tambourine. A potato doesn't have that pattern on the side. You know what does, though? A tambourine.
She's holding a weird fish
>>60282970
that's a hand desu
>>60285123
It's a drum. but the meme is a meme.
>>60285143
>she
>>60284930
its a Swans tribute
>>60284827
What?
The album cover represents Prince's spiritual rebirth. Hence the themes of god on the album and the nudity on the cover.
>>60285168
sorry, xi
>>60282813
overrated post
>They're all highschool yearbook pictures.
>This ties into the themes on the album.
>>60283181
damn..
Every panel refers to a particular song on the album.
The whole thing is Iggy's face sideways and he's actually laying down
It's the jazz musician Miles Davis
>There's a grey bar due to lighting at the top of the cover
>There are lines at the top, bottom and sides of the light thing
These took me way longer to notice than they should have
>>60285309
that is one horrendous cover
and Lady of the Dancing Water is probably their worst track, like, of all
You may have noticed Mr. Skeltal's spaghetti hair, but did you notice he's wearing a tuxedo?
That's because Mr. Skeltal is actually a vampire, looking in a mirror!
>>60282042
>>60282996
>>60285123
This was objectively proven to be a drum. Being contrarian for the sake of itself is just shitposting.
>>60285341
>>There are lines at the top, bottom and sides of the light thing
Are you talking about the scratches that spell out Death Grips?
>>60284827
I'm assuming you meant
>No one is retarded enough to do that
which would mean you read his post wrong because he said eyes closed, not eyes open.
>>60285382
I read the wikipedia article too.
>>60285341
>death grips fans are actually this slow
>>60285408
Wow, I didn't know they added that.
I guess I'm a bonehead, haha!
>>60282042
It's a fucking drum. I have it on vinyl and on the backside of the cover it has musicians playing the same fucking drum
that logo in the middle? a "melded" version of the covers of their singles gun & recover.
cover is actually a cat riding a USA rocket waving hi
>>60285440
this is such a lively pun i can feel the warmth of that joke coming out of my computer screen
>>60285381
I'd say about that any track between the first and last.
>>60282813
The original was "you're living on it" and flows better desu senpai
>>60283203
Wait a second, isn't he gay?
>>60284501
holy fuck me oh my fuck
>>60285489
Shit. Thought it was C S A
C standing for cat obviously
>>60284501
>implying I have to be white to get the album cover
>>60285489
Also he's not waving hi, it's the Shaka hand sign
>>60284827
people dont think it be like it is but it do
it says the name of the album
He's lying down
>>60285576
This is a heavily debated topic. I paraphrased there a bit, but it's commonly accepted that the cat's smile indicates a friendly gesture. The shaka hand sign would be followed with a more stern, "cool" look on his face. Although he is riding a rocket, which would certainly make me smile regardless of the situation, so I can definitely see the other side of this debate.
>>60285309
it's The Beatles
>>60285170
I thought it was a can tribute
>>60285650
Which is what Happy Family is about.
That song is difficult to listen to for reasons you'll realize if you try to listen to it.
>>60285630
it's just a shitty 3d model
>>60285642
As open to debate and courteous yout seem, I must proceed to tell you to fuck right off.
Animals do not "smile" but bare their teeth as a warning before they attack/defend themselves.
The cat is not actually happy, so it's not a happy wave or smile.
The Shaka sign is to tell you to stay loose, to prevent causing a fight, also represented by the rocket
It's actually just a shitty fan-repackaging.
>>60283613
it's actually an inverted picture of a highway
>>60285734
You ignorant fuck. Where did you get your biology degree from? The cat is clearly smiling in the traditional, happy sense. While true, animals do smile as a warning of attack, its not a modern fucking cat, but an advanced cat-form. How the fuck do you think it's riding the rocket ship? Does your fucking stupid lazy cat fly spacecraft in it's off-time? I didn't think so. These cats are advanced enough to build and fly spacecraft, and your sorely fucking mistaken if you think that level of intelligent life cannot express happiness through facial expression.

>>60285022

>>60283916
HOLY SHIT
>>60283084
This was always my first impression. Though I sometimes wonder if it's actually a knee.
>>60287535
That'd be a really fuckin' thick knee.
>>60283084
its white and gold you idiot
>>60283613
>>60285845

ITT: People who don't collect records
>>60283215
Thats not a minotaur its a man covering his face crying
>>60288527
That's a pretty stupid statement. Any of the people in this thread could collect records but not own that particular record.
>>60285467
They're playing on the same fucking potato.
>>60285259
Personal!
Responsibility!
>>60282718
holy fuck
It's the inside of a piano
It's a car parked at the flamingo in Vegas, mirrored in 4 quadrants
>>60285381
>horrendous cover

>>60282006
Sez who?
>>60283004
the whole thing is an ear

>>60282006
Look at the bottom corner
>>60283024
It's the self destruct counter from the predator
He's eating grapefruit
>>60282042
Holy shit, you fucking assholes.
We've been over this in every goddamn "album cover revelations" thread. The picture is printed on cardboard and the face is cut out of the picture.
Obviously first post was a joke, but the rest of you are dumb cunts.
>>60290873
You fell for some pretty weak bait man.
>>60285489
I wish this was the jamboree cover
>>60290730
holy shit
>>60290730
now i want to cry ;_;
Its a dead animal
>>60290902
I know he was just potato memeing, I was aiming my pointless anger at the tards thinking its a tambourine or some shit.
But yeah, I shitposted in response to shitposting.
>>60283024
That's fucking cool
>>60291007
D-DONKEY?!?!
>>60282981
kek
It's a hubcap
>>60291024

>>60288033
holy shit I had this album on vinyl as a little kid
no idea what happened to it though
can someone explain this one to me

>>60282718
shit i hope my mom never saw me listening to this album
>>60291045
Lmao
Bloody cum
>>60291186
Jesus fuck.....
>>60291186
>load
They really went all out with this one
>>60291186
Yeah, found that out when I was about 16. It's Lar's and Kirk's if I remember correctly.
>>60291213
Scratch that. It's from a photograph.
>>60288033
>if you invert the image it looks like "911" right over the twin towers
>the POV of the image is looking out the window of a plane
>>60291186
>>60291186
>>60291213
>Lars and Kirk were very into abstract art, pretending they were gay. I think they knew it bugged me. It was a statement around all that. I love art, but not for the sake of shocking others. I think the cover of Load was just a piss-take around all that. I just went along with the make-up and all of this crazy, stupid crap that they felt they needed to do.[

I thought it was quite a marvellous discussion.
