| Most Beautiful Album Art
Beyond even the music itself, one's first impression of any given album
often comes in the form of the artwork adorning the jewel case (or,
increasingly, attached to the .mp3 files). While the old adage of "Don't
judge a book by its cover" certainly rings true, it's hard not to formulate
some opinion based on an album's cover art. Many bands will take the
easy route and come up with something that represents their sound well
enough, with varying degrees of artistic and design competency that
varies based on their budget, sobriety, etc. For example, a drawing of a
bloody autopsy underneath nigh-indecipherable scribble may not be a
particularly novel idea, but it fulfills its purpose of letting you know what
you're in for, sonically (hint: probably not Kid A).
Some groups take it a step further though, and hold back nothing,
throwing every ounce of self into artwork that, while describing the
music perfectly capably, transcends the album it represents and
becomes a praiseworthy accomplishment all its own. Here are four such
instances... | | 1 |  | Avenged Sevenfold
2000 Demo | | 2 |  | Avenged Sevenfold
Waking the Fallen | | 3 |  | Avenged Sevenfold
Avenged Sevenfold | | 4 |  | Avenged Sevenfold
