i think it's a great cover, but it does look a lot better against a non-white background

Agree with JF on this. It's an annoyingly bad cover.

Have we done Chvurches' new 'Power, Corruption and Lies' homage? I like it.

Found these a few days ago when I came across the Atomnation bandcamp page. Beautiful covers and the albums are quite nice as well.

Any "best album covers" list that includes the Drake album gets the stink eye from me.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 14:36 (eight years ago) link
That list was terrible. There are, like, 3 good covers in the whole thing. (The Kid Rock one would be great if you got rid of the text. And if it wasn't for a Kid Rock album.)

CnN looks like a 70s jazz record where the cover tricks you into the thinking the music is outre but it ends up being like trad standards when you put it on and you're a bit let down.

New Tame Impala is a Synergy record. I actually kinda like it.

Nice. Love that their label seems to have a generally high standard when it comes to the cover art.
