ITT: Post an artists best album cover
best campaign for an album design-wise ever
>>61821577
>not ziggy or a lad insane
It's a little rare to find an album that sounds how it's cover looks.
Most of their covers are pretty ugly
>>61821958
MPP?
>>61821986
MPP is lazy as fuck. Feels, STGSTV and sung tongs take the cake
>>61821797
not really
>>61821577
>not ziggy or a lad insane
>>61822038
i love this album cover
>>61822077
i love this album cover too
>>61821687
thats only neat because the two layers thing, that artwork is shitty and dumb though.
>>61821958
including that one. that artwork is incredibly lame
>>61822128
the layer/pattern thing is very nice i find, and i really like the colours.
MM dont really have pretty covers anyway
>>61821797
It's really not at all. How do Meme DeMarco consistently say the stupidest shit.

I'm not sure. There's so much going on and it's all so small that it can only really be seen on vinyl.

Anger he smiles towering in
Shiny metallic purple armour
>>61821577
i hate it tbH. i know he did it because of that painting but still.
Leviathan is pretty cool too.
>>61821958
its gay as fuck m8
>>61821986
Always loved this cover, definitely better than Sound of Silver and s/t
>>61823639
Agreed
>>61822160
the art is kinda bad out of context, however i like it because it matches the strange childlike nature of AACs music
>>61823706
i'm pretty sure it's the other way around
>>61823639
Better album, but a worse cover than>>61821577
Heroes is the correct answer.
u know it makes u laugh every time
>>61823812
am i the only one who likes ziggy stardust's art the most
im not usually a fan of photos as album covers tho so maybe im biased
>>61823811
>viper
>not rich
what?
he got all dis here money
>>61822748
It's a classic tho
I really like all the Bowie album covers that have already been posted in this thread but pic related has got to be my favorite. It might be because it was the first Bowie album that I had listened to all the way through (and I instantly fell in love with it)
>>61824666
He's holding a cigarette...
>>61822824
I prefer this
>>61824916
Ha I've been fascinated with this album cover for years and never even noticed that
>>61821958
i always thought HCTI was a goat cover. campfire songs isn't good but it's not bad. all the rest are just plain bad, except Spirit and Centipede which are fucking disgusting.
>>61826035
i cannot stress how much i love this cover
>>61825029
Respect to this man.
>>61821687
true
>>61821797
Another (demo) One is better
>>61821958
agree
>>61822038
I like the cover for Trans Canada Highway
>>61822088
true
>>61822824
ADBA
>>61826035
Agreed
>>61826346
His is either pic realted or Hvis
>>61826302
Theirs is Animals imo
>>61825029
>>61826791
imo this is the best album cover of all time

THIS, and joy division's closer
Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Sonic Youth commissioned graphic designer Mike Mills (who later directed the movies Thumbsucker and Beginners) to design the cover on the recommendation of Sofia Coppola.
Beck likes the covers so much, he killed the artist who designed them for him.
Beck liked the video so much, the director of the video died from a mysterious infection shortly after completing it.
>>61824972
Water tower is nicer.
>>61828303
Was gonna post this one. Also
>You now realise that Bjork is dressed like an airmail envelope because the album is called Post
>>61826866
correct cover
>>61822371
By The Way is better in my opinion.
>>61824483
gorgeous. almost made me listen to this shit of a band
>>61828507
ew, bad and bad cover
>>61827699
Your reply says otherwise :^)
>>61830373
Vision Creation Newsun is just so perfect though.
>>61826791
I've always wanted a turtleneck like that
>>61826035
Literally perfect
>>61830031
That's not City / Ocean Machine.
Boris' Flood.
King Crimson's In the Wake of Poseidon.
Design-wise, it's a bit of a clusterfuck, but I love it for the beauty of the art. Otherwise, I would have picked Discipline.
Beat, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Islands and ITCOCK are also great covers.
>>61831086
Fuck, forgot the image
>>61827792
why did le epic 90s bands have to use backwards letters in everything
>>61828413
>dressed like an airmail envelope
holy shit. this is too crazy for me right now I need to sleep
>>61827301
This cover haunted my dreams when I was a kid.
>>61823844
Still amazing.
>>61831111
quads confirm
floating spuds, c'mon it's classic
>>61831915
Didn't even notice, thanks for checking mate
>>61831973
Any time somebody implies they like Built to Spill and post this piece of shit I can't help but laugh.
>>61832041
sick cover tho
>>61828413
I didnt realize this until I went to the bjork moma exhibit and saw the dress there. It's made of paper and I had no clue
the bad taste in here is incredibly overwhelming save for maybe two of you. no wonder this place sucks.
I love this one.

Casting one vote for Heroes, although bowie has lots of great album art.
>>61821797
This album cover was inspired by the art for Haruomi Hosono - Hosono House according to his video for Amoeba (What's In My Bag), if you were curious.
>>61822088
NLDW (NSFW version) come on dude
>>61826791
Bitches Brew or Miles Smiles for me.
>>61823780
>>61826035
>>61826866
Agreed, love these.
>>61828217
fuckin' Scientologists man.
This is their best
>>61831922
yeah but c'mon there's Duty Now For The Future
>>61821698
No.
>>61821577
Pretty much all their covers expect "Endless River" and "More" are GOAT
>>61830007
yes
Not sure if this one or Script of the Bridge is better
>>61821662
no. Americana. also has some of the best illustrations ever in booklet.
>>61828350
kek yeah that's their best album cover by far
>>61833678
10 YEARS LATER STILL WAITING ON THAT SECOND ALBUM

>>61833555
great cover and great album
>>61821958
They may be unpleasant to look atsometimes, but to be, their album covers have always represented how the album sounds extremely well, especially SJ, HCTI, MPP, and Sung Tongs
>>61833785
>Not The Chronic
>>61833757
Coming out this year, hopefully.
I really like all of lightning bolts covers
Purely because of how iconic it is.
>>61827301
Fantastic album.
>>61821986
Lodger rip-off
this imo, but best Andy Stott cover art is a tall order
>>61822242
Faith +1
>>61835642
Also his best album btw
>>61833620
>>61832078
>>61831922
>>61822114
Agreed
>>61832752
Amazing that women found these people attractive. Lennon there looks like George Meyer.
>>61823903
Woah what is this
>>61832941
lol
>>61828121
ur right
>>61826346
Good cover, but Filosfem has always been my favorite.
>>61837003
>not No Love
>>61822242
That's not Tommy, anon.
>>61830066
Absolutely disgusting
>>61821577
>>61833620
Agreed. The back side freaked me out as a kid, where it had the pool of blood and the kids shoes
>>61838535
>>61827832
>>61826866
love these
>>61833678
this
>>61822824
F#A# is better
>>61822371
When it comes to DG, I respect everyone's personal choice but for me it's definitely ExMil. Just the fact that one of the band members kept it in his wallet and they just used it with the wear an tear is unique. The cover simply goes with the atmosphere that the whole album creates, not to mention that no one has ever found the original of the photo itself. I just simply love it.
>>61835608
That's the point, the whole album is referencing his influences (much more directly than usual)
>>61825029
Not the hugest Miles Davis fan but I absolutely LOVE the Bitches Brew artwork.
>>61828507
Their worst cover. Both Lonerism and Innerspeaker look better.
>>61832013
Yes.
>>61832901
I prefer ...Like Clockwork, but Era Vulgaris is severely underrated, both its artwork and the music on it.
Like, a lot of albums have that one weird song that kinda sticks out and that you skip every time, but then you do listen to it one day and it kinda sticks with you, and you notice that it's actually the best fucking song on the album.
Era Vulgaris is an entire album full of songs like that. Take any song from that and put it on a different album and it would be the song you keep skipping but will end up being your favorite song on it.
>>61840968
I agree. It definitely fits the whole DIY-"look at this weird unknown tape I found"-aesthetic they had going back then.
>>61835757
no sir
>>61837143
>not the OG original viking Dauði Baldrs
>>61826302
stop
>>61833747
That's one of my fav albums. And my favorite album cover idk why.
>>61831086
>>61831111
Check'd, damn. Also Islands is my favorite from them.
>>61828350
lol
>>61828121
that's terrible wtf
>>61827301
my nigga
Panda Bear - Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper.jpg
shame it was just wasted on a singles cover that no one would ever see
>>61841862
thank god for that
>>61841213
I'm sorry but you're wrong. All the artwork for Currents and the singles is amazingly well designed.
>>61821691
I find all of these beautiful. What Manic Street Preachers album should I start with?
>>61841896
talk shit post fit
>>61833730
worst album, best album cover
>>61837039
honestly all Radiohead album covers are pretty good and represent their music well
>>61821577
What's so great about it? What do those hand gestures mean?
>>61839366
It just looks really weird on the white background
>>61840968
I'd like this more if it didn't have the band name on the side
>>61842024
I don't get it, is it because of how simple it is?
I always loved MBDTF covers.
I'm just too normie to get this?
>lust for life intensifies
>>61828507
My favorite
>>61842086
>best Iggy Pop album cover
>not Preliminaires, Zombie Birdhouse, or Party
>AnCoe - Here Comes the Indian
>Björk - Debut
>Bowie - Ziggy
>Death Grips - NotM
>GYBE - FA
>Have A Nice Life - TUW
>KC - ITCOTCK
>Kraftwerk - Autobahn
>Slint - Tweez
>Sufjan - C&L
>>61842154
look at that lust for life you can feel it from the photo man, no way any of those are better. MAYBE the idiot. Raw Power is better but that doesn't really count
nah. Surf's up is by far the best beach boys cover
not the best album but really good art
>>61821577
It's not a big contest but still..
>>61842080
the version that just has the girl in the dress is goat
>>61841979
either Everything Must Go or The Holy Bible
>>61842701
yo!
wtf?
Delete this
That is seriously fucked up
>>61822302
Excuse me
>>61842874
How new are you?
>>61843086
correct, this album cover made me start listening to sonic youth again
>>61843124
