11.07.15 | ok so i didn't realize sputnik is weird and has a different album cover for Tigers Jaw...anyway tell me what I'm missing because I know I'm missing a ton and I love looking at album art |
wwf
11.07.15 | good list, I agree with 14 especially. If you wrote an entire paper on 21 then I'd hope you have at least a little bit of an idea why you like it so much lmao |
Conmaniac
11.07.15 | true! it was a "statement" so it was only 300 words and it was a comparison to another work of art haha |

11.07.15 | pg. 99 - document #5
today is the day - willpower
helmet - meantime
unwound - challenge for a civilized society |
Conmaniac
11.07.15 | not a big fan of the first three but the unwound album cover is pretty interesting @supercoolguy |
KrazyKris
11.07.15 | 3 and 23 are indeed amazing covers, though 3 looks better, if it's not too big.
Never got the love for the Dark Side cover. Same with Unknown Pleasures. Both are iconic of course and cool in their own way, but their artwork just doesn't communicate much in my eyes. |
Conmaniac
11.07.15 | the Dark Side cover is decent and I probably wouldn't have included it if it wasn't so iconic tbh |
Avagantamos
11.07.15 | autechre - draft 7.30 |
Conmaniac
11.07.15 | wow yeah I really enjoy that cover @Avagantamos |
BMDrummer
11.07.15 | amebix- arise
the cure- porno
women- public strain
the brave little abacus- just got back from the discomfort |
Conmaniac
11.07.15 | almost included The Brave Little Abacus...agreed hard with the Amebix and Women album covers wow |
KrazyKris
11.07.15 | Oh, forgot my fav before:
Rammstein - Rosenrot
Of course there are a few others right behind, Kid A and Pinkerton for example, but that one takes the cake.
And Public Strain is beautiful for sure. |
insanedrexl1
11.07.15 | Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger |
Conmaniac
11.07.15 | Kid A and Pinkerton are great albums but I feel like I love the album covers so much because of the music |
KrazyKris
11.07.15 | Yeah, definitely has something to do with it. On the other hand it is quite a quality too, to make sure the cover art is so fitting for the music. If you look at the Kid A cover, that's pretty much the visual equivalent to what its title track or Idioteque trigger. Plus, it would look both epic and absolutely terrifying if you'd see it in wall-size format. |
Conmaniac
11.07.15 | agreed. Kid A's album cover captures the coldness of the music so perfectly...love it when albums are able to do that (Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice as another example) |

11.08.15 | can I read your paper on the WYWH album cover? |
danielcardoso
11.08.15 | Oohh yes I'm curious as well. |
Conmaniac
11.08.15 | @OvDeath I mean when you put it that way.....
And I would love to show you but I think it gives away too much personal info so I'm not really comfortable sharing it |

Saw your post in the meds, change the start=x to whatever list you want to see |
FullOfSounds
12.03.16 | I kinda hate 15, but the rest are really good. Nice list |
TVC15
12.04.16 | Yeah 1 has an awesome album cover/title. Too bad only the first half of the album is God-tier |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | not true lol
but why do you hate 15? glad I finally checked it full, art def helped |
FullOfSounds
12.04.16 | The cover is just really bland imo |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | it's supposed to represent what it's like to lay in the sun and what you ~see~ when you close your eyes aka sunbather (: |
Deathconscious
12.04.16 | forgot about 17, i need to hear the whole thing. |
RLWFormula
12.04.16 | stopped reading after seeing 1 tbh |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | hmm yeah check it but I wouldnt be surprised if it's too emo rev for ya. I love the fuck outta that album still tho |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | good @RLW I'm really glad |
FullOfSounds
12.04.16 | "it's supposed to represent what it's like to lay in the sun and what you ~see~ when you close your eyes aka sunbather (:"
ahh good point |
FullOfSounds
12.04.16 | i would have preferred more hues though |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | true yeah I agree Full |
Deathconscious
12.04.16 | @con musically its pretty awesome, the lyrics are what hurt the album for me. |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | haha I see that. some hit really hard but some are wayyy overdramatic theres no inbetween haha |
anat
12.04.16 | i've always hated that tycho cover, looks like a ginger with a chinstrap |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | lmao wow interesting stuff. I always thought the art matched so well with the music plus it's aesthetically pleasing to me |
Deathconscious
12.04.16 | well its emo so i expect the melodrama but idk, there just isnt a lot of clever wording or interesting observations. that and it has the "breakup syndrome", so like 9 out of the 11 songs are about girls, and i always find that kind of annoying. and he wont shut up about his drinking problem.
My lifestyle is a form of suicide
But then again everyone’s is
Mine just may be faster than others
The drinking, smoking, hearing from my mother
That I should take much better care of myself
we get it, youre a self-destructive alcoholic and blah blah blah.
lol anyways, those are just my thoughts on it. i can look past the lyrics though since instrumentally its pretty amazing. |
anat
12.04.16 | i would submit
low roar - 0 / great colours and the contours help give the album a sense of vastness
kubichek - not enough night / love the pink and black and the angry crow
we were promised jetpacks - these four walls / lovely imagery and all of their subsequent covers have sucked
|
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | It must take a mastermind or some kind of genius
To figure out the reasons
Behind all of this
And why I’m not over it.
that always stood out to me as a pretty great line but yeah I agree with all of those comments. the lyrics really fit the music though if that makes any sense. like the "FUUUUUCCCKKK. EVVVVEERRYYYYYTHIIIIIIING" in Two Beers Deep is just perfect to scream along to even if the lyrics arent clever or groundbreaking. that's kinda how I see it |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | good additions I like that Low Roar cover and I still need to listen to These Four Walls in full! I love It's Thunder and Lightning tho |
Deathconscious
12.04.16 | i dont necessarily agree but i see your point. regardless, the guitar work is really impressive. |
Log S.
12.04.16 | Turn On the Bright Lights |
Conmaniac
12.04.16 | true yea it's fun as hell |
