03.07.12 | Let's face it - in this day and age of being able to access any album with a couple of clicks (it used to just be one click before the unfortunate SOPA debacle), it becomes increasingly important for an album to be able to grab your eye. This is where creativity comes in for the artists - oftentimes the most intriguing music is accompanied by insane album art, and that leads to visually indigent guys like myself finding themselves quite pleased with those that go over the top. This list is a compilation of examples of album artwork that really caught my eye, and most of it is pretty tight stuff musically too, so check out whatever intrigues you the most. |

03.07.12 | sick Omaha (btw I live in Bellevue) yeah artwork is much more important than most think. Props for putting up 100 albums. The one I did today only had 10 lol |
Yuli
03.07.12 | SilentPotato, tons of them are just pretty. Deep metaphors are great, but there's nothing like a gorgeous album cover
Thanks Throne!
Ah man, apparently when you edit lists it messes up a few of your albums. Ah well. |
Yuli
03.07.12 | Haha, thanks Chuck x) if it makes you feel any better I definitely should have been doing homework instead of this.. |

Yuli
03.07.12 | System, that one is really nice; I love its tranquility. I honestly wish I'd picked the God Particle one! Haven't gotten around to listening to that, but I need to.
Ignim, just saw your review earlier and had to add the album in here at the last minute x)
And Tyrannic, you're only one of those man |
Recspecs

Yuli
03.07.12 | Great minds think alike! I'll be sure to check it out Recs, I was wanting to get 100/100 but screwed up three of them, then went back to edit and messed it up even more. So I'm done trying here at this point.
I love people that constantly have url's at hand for any given situation. |

03.07.12 | I don't think the RATM album fits here, but I love most of these. The guy who did 7 and 58 does awesome work, does anybody know his name? |
Dreamflight
03.07.12 | I find the near absence of Travis Smith's work quite sad. but great list anyway. |
Yuli
03.07.12 | Dave, considering what the album artwork has in it (a guy setting himself on fire) I just had to include it.
Those albums' artwork were done by Storm Thorgerson, according to the almighty Google
Baseline, but flashy is the most captivating!
And Dreamflight, thanks! Was there one on here that he did? |
Dreamflight
03.07.12 | Yes, the Devin Townsend one.
Take a look if you have the patience. :D

JohnnyoftheWell
03.07.12 | Best artwork list I've seen
However, no artwork list is complete without Pink Floyd somewhere
Also, Opeth - Morningrise
Rush - Grace Under Pressure
Cynic - Traced In Air
In Flames - Clayman
Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here
At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul |
Yuli
03.07.12 | I definitely agree with the Cynic and Opeth ones. I was planning to put Traced in Air on here, but forgot.
This guy's got some nice stuff, Dreamflight. I didn't know a lot of these were done by him. |
Rev
03.10.12 | just noticed I'm on this O: |
