yah
>>64182456
albums pretty shit but I love that cover
>>64182570
you likeshit that looks like it was made by a highschooler who wants to be an illustrator?
ITT: pretentious crap
>>64182819
What? Pretentious can be a valid criticism but most of these covers are very easily digestible visual art. You sound like you're 12.
>>64182438
This is actually a really nice cover. Penguin Café in general have pretty dope covers. They fit very well in a collection too
>>64182525
love it
deftones best imo
>>64182570
>Sunbather

favorite album cover and favorite album
>>64184749
>>64185273
Never forget the first time my newly pubescent eyes saw this cover. I knew something was going on there.
>>64185443

If no one else is gonna post it
>>64184602
This tbqh f a m
>>64185443
Looks kinda like this
>>64184157
they do have some lame ass artwork, come to think of it. skulls and roses are played out as an idea. i'm fond of the white pony cover w/ back to school track.considering the stories of the making of that record, it's perfect. bam, no bullshit. white pony.
>>64185373
what am i missing?
>>64181206
>>64184647
Those struck me as very good.

this thread is for 10/10 album covers, not 10/10s on album covers
>>64188763
only Vespertine and Medúlla are 10s
I have a feeling that most people who think artwork is 10/10 generally only think that because they love the album and also happen to think the artwork is particularly good. Looking through this thread there's so many albums that to me look like absolute shit but they're all ones that I've never heard.
Maybe I'm just too picky but either way, pic related is my contribution. Anybody who hasn't heard it, could you genuinely agree it's a 10/10?
>>64188939
It's pretty good, 7+/10 and I like to think myself picky. What it lacks in my opinion is a bit of compositional eyefuckery like in >>64184647, the 'oh wait it's a normal photo/picture, it's just odd that someone would choose to highlight this of all things visually' factor.
>>64185443
I've seen this before. What's the title?

Uhh, it's a really, really good album. I was not expecting that.
>>64189501
C-O-M-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N
do you use it
>>64189669
Not even when playing guitar. Why?
>>64189950
the highs and some of the mids of the guitar the white eagle record are being crushed by the kick drum bass. that shit needs some eq or compression senpai.
realling digging it tho
>>64189226
Not at all what I was expecting.
>>64182465
wow, this is really fucking good. thanks for posting it man
>>64190095
fuck... this is some classy music.
>>64190011
Cool. You know I didn't produce that album?
>>64190216
*tips fedora and slips mysteriously into the shadows*
Say what you want about ghost, but they know how to make aesthetic album covers
>>64185547
I like Baths and all but that cover looks generic
>>64182377

Nice job
>>64185443
It feels like every element of the cover is meant to appeal to my brain and my dick.
perfect cover
>>64181206
>>64182570
you actually got the two switched holy shit
UTTER BEAUTY AND BEDLAM
>>64181206
>>64192709
this. I can't believe Avey just drew over some pics he took with the band
i saw a cover a while back with what looked like two cartoon clowns walking towards the horizon on a yellow road. Anyone know it? its killing me

>>64193040
definitely, so are those other two in the same style, esp the gas mask one
Blue Note is kind of cheating though
>>64188763
>this thing
>10/10
kek
>>64182611
yeah. I've got the shirt too
it's rad
Honey's Dead and Darklands were OK but this is iconic
>>64191972
I feel like it was one of the geneses of this type of album art and it only looks generic in retrospect because so many other artists have done similar things since.
>>64193677
Obsidian had a much better cover imo
Dead Cities is great too
>>64185984
I came into this thread to post this
>>64188939
Nope. There are a lot of albums in here that I haven't listened to but I can still appreciate the album art.
>>64194193
yessss
![AbbeyRoad[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ojhPeSa.jpg "AbbeyRoad[1].jpg")
you know I'm right
>>64185510
>this cover gives me fucking chills
Why tho? Curious
>>64185443
>>64195753
Get lost, /co/
>>64181206
>>64181206
>>64188939
This album looks and sounds like sherbet ice cream.
>>64185510
I get the same feeling from pic related
So fucking evocative. Their two best covers for their two best albums.
>>64195079
I'm mostly disappointed that it took so long for someone to post this.
Seriously, a "top 5 of all time" cover, it's on the level of London Calling or Who's Next
>>64185815
Pic related was better, desu senpai
>>64193837
Mahnigga.jpg
One of the greatest of all time
Here's another
>>64194341
Underrated band
Even if religious cucks
how come no one mentioned person pitch
probably my favorite cover ever
Here's another utter classic
>>64188677
this looks like a yugioh card
>>64181206
The album actually sucks but the cover is hilarious
>>64192183
>>64192054

>>64201412
This one too
every time
>>64188815
YES excellent post anon. All owl city albums have 10/10 covers and are 10/10
>>64192986

>>64192843
WHEN I'M STABLE LONG ENOUGH
>172 replies
>no one has posted Old Boots, New Dirt
What has this board become
I'm not sure I'd call this a 10, but it is one of my personal favourites.
If you stare at it for a bit it actually turns a bit trippy.
Definitely this
You can definitely tell how it feels
>>64193602
yes?
>>64185919
It's not a 10/10 cover but it fits the album perfectly though.
>>64188939
This looks brillant
>>64193775
I've always wondered, is the Dead Cities artwork supposed to be so Fargo-esque?
>>64198525
>>64194341
>>64198424
Those are good too.
>>64201614
(I love 'Unquestionable Presence' to bits, and the cover is great, but not quite as artistically cold, so to say, as 10/10.)
You people seem to judge covers either by the visual, real-life-representing gimmick (an everyday object being changed or added), shock value, or amount of painstaking effort gone into it ('the artist has doodled on it for so long!'). Not so much by the sense of balance or location of shapes.
>>64198051
Awesome pick
>>64192859
>>64184647
>>64184671
>>64192221
>>64193426
these
>>64194341
Best album and best album art they've put out. Hopefully their next album doesn't suck as bad as the last one.
>>64205785
I've never seen that film, but it certainly feels similar.
>>64205988
I personally look if the cover captures the feel of whichever album it's in front of. Totally subjective of course
you haven't forgotten, have you /mu/?
