Covers With Great Photography
Pretty self explanatory. I'm a huge fan of album art and here's a list rof some of my favourite rcovers that use photography as the sole rvisual basis. |
| 1 |  | Defeater
Travels
The expression and the colours evoke such a dark story, which suits the
album's story perfectly. |
| 2 |  | The Rolling Stones
Beggars Banquet
This one has such a spontaneous and rocknroll feeling. |
| 3 |  | The Mars Volta
Frances The Mute
Gives such an odd feeling, like a David Lynch scene. |
| 4 |  | Battles
Mirrored
It's so sleek and hyper real. |
| 5 |  | The Libertines
The Libertines
I love this one, it tells such a story. |
| 6 |  | Bad Religion
80-85
Super punk, and the design makes it look like a proper classic. |
| 7 |  | DJ Shadow
Endtroducing
It looks really unusual but fun to look at and creates a cool mood. |
| 8 |  | Crystal Castles
Crystal Castles II
Same as above. |
| 9 |  | The Strokes
Is This It
Despite the subject matter this photo has such a great sense of shape, like
a porno Man Ray. |
| 10 |  | Fang Island
Fang Island
I like the playful mood that I feel complements the music very well. |
| 11 |  | Nirvana
Bleach
I've loved this since I was about 12, it always encapsulated the spirit of
rock for me and that feeling stuck with me since then. |
| 12 |  | Wild Nothing
Gemini
Obviously chopped but still counts. |
| 13 |  | These Arms Are Snakes
Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home
I just love how offhand this is and the deep colours are awesome. |
| 14 |  | These Arms Are Snakes
This Is Meant To Hurt You
Love the creepy atmosphere. |
| 15 | | Dangers
Messy, Isn't It?
Looks like a screencap from a film, with such a grim message revealed with
your second glance. |
| 16 |  | Celeste
Nihiliste(s)
Such a beautiful black and white shot, with a mood that complements the
music's incredibly dark sound. |
| 17 |  | Russian Circles
Station
No idea why but I just really like how this just works. |
| 18 |  | The Chariot
Long Live
Just looks really bad ass. |
| 19 |  | Deftones
Around The Fur
Love how it doesn't explain the music's sound at all, and the unusual angle
makes it look very stylized and uncomfortable. |
| 20 |  | The Cave Singers
Invitation Songs
I dunno, just love the serenity. |
| 21 |  | JR Ewing
Ride Paranoia
I've always loved the sight of tons of equipment thrown about. |
| 22 |  | Dillinger Four
Situationist Comedy
Bizarre is good. |
| 23 |  | The Afghan Whigs
Gentlemen
Don't actually have this one but the boy's eyes are so eerie so it's stuck
with me. |
| 24 |  | Beck
Odelay!
Love this dog! |
| 25 |  | Radiohead
Amnesiac
Couldn't think of another one, but I suppose this could count. |
