ITT: top tier album covers
Disregarding the actual content
>>64768973
This is my favorite album cover of all time.
Artfag, so I can't not love David.
>>64769151
Why? Just for formal reasons or do you wanna do the girl?
Love this one
>>64769159
>crop of an extremely famous painting
>"good"
YOU'LL HAVE TO EXCUSE ME, I'M A FOODFAG, SO I CAN'T NOT LOVE PIZZA
>>64769169
Normal reasons. I think it's perfectly balanced, and the way the colors combine resonate with something inside me. I love the lighning, it somehow looks like artificial light (probably a white balance thing) yet it's obviously outside. The sky is so clean and beautiful. It's just so crips simple, and the hand looks gorgeous. I also love ponytails.
>>64769185
damn, you sure rekt him son
>>64769006
>>64769173
Terribly generic
>>64769229
what album is this
>>64769243
I forgot about this cover. Thats as real as it gets if you don't count that one band that got to use the suicide on theirs.
>>64769291
In The Court Of Crimson King
>>64769185
Is it not visually satisfying enough for you?
I mean, of course the original is better, but this isn't a thread about amazing pieces of artwork, it's an album cover thread.
>>64769291
Venetian snares - songs about my cats. I like it, not the best from VS by far though.
captures their spirit so well
>>64769414
is it even amazing artwork in that form? it's not only cropped but reduced to a little digital file or a glossy cd cover. it reproduces the art, but it's not the art by any means. it's not even a good crop

Reverse Image Search by Google
Quite popular on this board, I'm surprised you haven't heard of it before
>>64769197
i actually like the deluxe edition's cover more. the album is less about kendrick's childhood but more about that one night in his mama's van

kys
>>64769151
very beautiful indeed
>>64768973
>>64769312
shame how shit he is
Someone be one of those faggots who goes through and rates every artwork out of 10, I'm bored.
Pic related is from the inner sleeve of Wish You Were Here (just in case some of you plebs didn't know). In general, all of Storm Thorgerson's work is great.

absolutely disgusting
>>64770244
Drop us a god tier cover by your standards. Not spiting, just curious.
>>64770323
Great album too
By far the worst in their discography but fuck me if it doesn't look slick as hell.
>>64770323
Also in similar styles and colours you could say Master of the puppets.
I genuinelly love this dirty look, suits the content that lies beneath perfeclty.
>>64768973
OP's is the only one I agree with so far
>good album cover art thread
>no one has posted a mastodon one yet
>about five gems in the thread, rest is photoshopcore or le vintage photograph
You guys got good ears but no good eyes
>>64770299
C'mon anon it's easier to judge others :^)
But one of my favorites is prob the 'red veil' from Wish You Were Here.
It's kinda hard to do it off the artwork alone as I find it hard to discern the cover from the content... But I'll post a few
>>64769258
Dude, it's not even their worst.
>>64770850
This band has a lot of great covers (and sound great as well if you're into psychrock)
>>64770860
In general, most of PF's covers are great.
I like this cover mostly due to the backstory, but I like the simplicity as well
Most of Earth's album covers are great
>>64770879
Finally, I really like this, dunno why
But overall, I wouldn't consider any of the covers I've posted to be godtier, don't think I know any truly godtier album covers
dunno why i just love it
>>64770884
I wish the album was as good
>>64769293
>caring
>>64771075
mah nigga
>>64770054
Ayyyyyyy
>>64771205
That cover sums up the visual effect of 1P-LSD on me
>>64769312
potato kanishes
>>64771342
artwork was the reason I bothered listening to that in the first place, so fucking good
This image is art.
>>64771799
So whose dick is it?
>>64771838
Some mutilitated ameritard's, obviously.
>>64771838
It ain't Stefan's.
>>64770860
Not a perfect 10 artwork But it reminds me of Dylan Dog drawings and the album rocks
Love this one, but it would be much much better without text on it
This one is so good
this is pretty good
Cover art is crazy as fuck, album is great too.
>>64771475
hi elliott
>>64771075
This, every Baroness album has god tier art
>>64770531
>>64770553
These are only great if you take the content into account. Do that an they're god tier, but that's not the purpose of this thread. Not hating just saying.
>>64770850
Does Floyd have a single bad cover???
>>64770928
Yes, except for pentastar. That shit is fucking awful.
>>64775112
The one with the beds
And this fucking atrosity
A picture and the name of the album. I would believe that there's a story behind it.
My personal favorite, shame about the white border though.
>>64769151
It's fucking trash god why
>>64770831
MY NIGGA MANE
>>64769291
Cat Stevens- In the Court of the Kitty Cat
nice ass, bad album.
>>64768973
Coil- The Ape of Naples
Sol Invictus- In the Rain
>>64768973
>>64769159
>>64769308
>>64770088
>>64770420
God Tier
>>64770304
This one is one of my favorites, Although isn't nothing new or original, it sets the mood of the album well and it's comfy af
>>64769217
This is garbage, this 80's shit got old quick
>>64778415
>80's shit
More like 2010's shit that looks more 80's than the 80's actually were.
>>64774602
This is so good, especially her eyes looking at you from the mirror
>>64771498
Freaking great
>>64778750
Yeah, you're right, not going to shit on 80's because of these memes
>>64777732
So fucking good.
>>64768973
That album cover is shit, though. It's iconic because of how striking it is, but it reeks of "LOOK AT ME!" Bear in mind, I love that album, but it doesn't match the music whatsoever. It's just "here's a guy screaming!"

>>64771838
That's Zach's, are you guys baiting or do you genuinely not know it? It's not a secret he admitted so in a few interviews.
>>64777876
Mah nigga
>>64771046
he looks like hannibal buress
>>64772226
yeah, that font is disgusting af
>>64770304
Same with this, awful letters
My parents had the vinyl of this, I was often transfixed by it as a kid.
Someone know the name of this album?
>>64770244
bad
>>64779554
Google isn't that difficult to use
>>64779630
This looks like a tumblr art trend from five years ago
>>64779603
Thank for the help
>>64775528
it looks like a Dream Theater cover
>>64779678
Google the fucking song titles you retard.
>>64779655
I agree. Posted it because I wanted to know what people have to say about it.

Other anon is just angry because he couldn't find it either lol
>>64779809
If you did, you would have found it yourself, so no I don't think you tried before asking.
>>64778937

True shit
>>64779718
this is hilarious
>>64779855
lol indeed
oh wait it's the first result
>>64779554
>>64779678
Mon frère, le band s'appelle Time Scale
also a great album. most of their album covers were great, but of course a band composed of 70's prog rock musicians would have awesome album covers.
>>64779718
kek
>>64774439
>>64771609
Peter Saville is a goat sleeve designer imo

this
>>64780012
The font of ''Kyuss''? 90's, man. I think it's ok.
>>64780098
this is shit
>>64779969
god damn. forgot picture
>>64771193
pretty sick
>>64771498
really overrated but the colours are fantastic
>>64774956
pretty terribly drawn, don't let the fact that there's titties on it distract you from the horrible anatomy
>>64780342
I love DV's front, but the formatting on the back at least of the record I've got is pretty meh.
>>64771498
Is that a pig in the middle?
>>64780419
no it's a balloon
>>64771075
>>64774956
Baizley is a talented artist but he does the same album cover almost every time, including his work for other bands. They all have the same three ingredients.
>naked women
>nature draped over them
>monochromatic color scheme
It might look a bit of a mess, but it's made up of layers in the booklet printed on transparency

>>64780744
off the K
>>64780690
He's saying those are Tool's worst album art.
Anyway my favorite is Ænima with all its foldout options.
>>64780776
shes not hanging retard
>>64780788
tools album art is amazing
>>64780807
off the albums wiki
"The album cover depicts a young girl being approached by a large man who is holding what appears to be a horseshoe or, more presumably, blades; furthermore, the girl's shadow gives the appearance that her body is being hanged due to the position of the band's logo."
>>64780776
That's a normal shadow.
>>64780788
Nah, I really like 10k days art.
>>64780872
It really looks like a normal shadow. And that logo shadow makes no sense. Actually the all idea makes no sense.
>>64778320
>bad album
It's grotesque in a good way, not as bad a record as people think
Horse Rotorvator still best early Coil tough

Different anon.
Redpill me on music like this
>>64770244
you have very confusing taste
>>64782932
a bunch of kids play games like Hotline Miami and that Far Cry dlc thing and say things like
"omg this is just like the 80s XD"
"Wow this music is so old XDDD"
"Back when popular music was good XDDDd" (not saying popular music is any good today, it's just implying that all pop music was like this)
>>64773807
Pretty tacky desu
>>64783034
Synthwave has been one of the most artistically and creatively bankrupt genres ever since its conception, but Perturbator makes some pretty damn great atmospheric and energetic tracks. Disregarding that just because the genre is founded on a blind obsession with a certain aesthetic is quite unfair really.
>>64784926
I never said one thing about the actual music or aesthetic. Just the fans.
>>64785324
>>64782045
mentioned the music itself though. As if Perturbator's music is supposed to replicate "music from the 80s" (as if 80s music is a singular genre).
>>64779564
you know it my duderino
>>64785669
>As if Perturbator's music is supposed to replicate "music from the 80s" (as if 80s music is a singular genre).
which is how vidd game addict Perturbator fans describe it.
>>64778779
album?
>>64787019
Sleepy Sun posted this on fb. Maybe this will be the artwork for their next album.
