Great album but it's a shame people dismiss it because of the cover art.

I don't think I've ever heard good contemporary jazz album that didn't have a bad cover

>The Epic
>good
>good album cover
Maybe it's a good cover good in the sense that it foreshadows how the album is going to place image over substance.

fify
Can't think of any. Most good albums I know have good album art, while most bad albums I know have bad album art. Someone will probably say that my perception of the music is dictated by the album art, but that's bullshit. I just can't think of any good album with bad art. There are albums I thought I'd love based off of the artwork that have left he hugely disappointed though. For example, everything about the Santana album Abraxas made me thing that it was going to be a new personal favorite of mind, everything from the artwork to the opening minutes of the opening track. But as soon as that, "Mmmmuhshe'sa' black magic womawln" kicked in with that Las Vegas lounge act beat behind it kicked in, I was like, "Fuck...," so don't think I like or dislike an album just because of it's artwork.
Every ANCO album cover except STGSTV and MPP are kinda ugly imho, M. Night Famalam...

Are you saying that all Animal Collective albums have bad artwork and that the only ones that are actually as bad as their artwork are Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished and Merriweather Post Pavilion?

how's highschool?
>>66271850
They're just saying they're nice album covers im pretty sure
>>66271850
I'm saying all their albums could be considered good (in my opinion which carries little weight here) and the only two albums with decent album art are the ones I mentioned
Most Kool Keith albums have bad artwork, except for Dr.Octogynacologist.

I feel the exact opposite, I like the cover but I didn't like the album
Bad art, great riffs.
I can't show the album to people without them looking at the album art and thinking I'm a perv
Magical Mystery Tour
>>66272457
I know right, shit sux.
It's not really bad at all I do like the cover, but it hasn't really aged all too well, the Illmatic XX cover is miles better imo
>>66272457
imagine what that woman was thinking when that picture was shot
"I dont even have huge tits or anything what the fuck"
The legacy edition fixes the artwork though.
