Yeah, I love a good typography cover. Someone let them know that's not one.

wow that pink/moore cover is quite bold

When you uninvert the colours in that Ariel Pink cover, it actually looks pretty cool (except for the Yin Wang thing):

NSFW, obviously

Why couldn't they have just used the original instead of the arty inverted one?

that is p amazing actually

the album sounded ok while they were reviewing it on npr but it also sorta reeked of black keys

Just the fact that he's even approaching being aggressive in any way again is refreshing. He's been dishing out meaningless jingles for decades.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 15:18 (1 year ago) Permalink

this kinda thing is total catnip to me, stolen from the punk thread:

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 15:20 (1 year ago) Permalink

Not a big fan of Cold War Kids, but I love this style of cover (note to The Walkmen: typography based covers done right can look really good!)

dr. john throwing back to his old psychedelic swamp days! nice cover!

^^i thought i hated dr. john until i heard this album, which is a heavy groove, maaaan

I do not like these past three covers, band names or titles.

it hugs back have done some lovely sleeves, but that is not one of their lovely ones.

Slava - Soft Control

Can't remember if I posted that already. Yet another hands-only cover, kind of fascinated by the moisture content of this one though.

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Saturday, 7 April 2012 18:55 (1 year ago) Permalink

for some reason that gives me the creeps.

Yeah, that hand looks like something they found in the fish counter at Sainsbury's.

it must be some kind of oil with water on top to give that droplet effect, no? very weird

thread is always full of bafflement. only "noteworthy" covers good or bad in the last few days are the slava and the zammuto, and the latter's no great shakes...
