Noteworthy album covers of 2015

the image not all that remarkable, but the background is matte while o'rourke's image is glossy. has an embossed sort of feeling to it, shows a lot of fingerprints.

miguel went big with that and pulled it off imo. backgrounds a little busy and unnessecerary but still, thats bold

FIrst time I saw the Miguel cover, my immediate takeaway was "he's got HUGE thighs!"

Dommengang - Everybody's Boogie

― yeovil knievel (NickB), Wednesday, 20 May 2015 09:04 (eight years ago) link

only thing i don't like about the miguel cover is that you can't see his right hand and it kind of looks like he's jerking off

― marcos, Wednesday, 20 May 2015 14:44 (eight years ago) link

40 years from now we'll have a thread for this kind of cover.

Missed opportunity for David Dees imo

first half of painting would have been waaaaaay more effective on its own--too much other guff going on

The art's a little bit early 70s throwback, but this is mostly all about the stunning portrait.

Probably less sexual innuendo on Bella Union.

Suzanne Kraft - Talk From Home

― feargal czukay (NickB), Thursday, 16 July 2015 12:09 (eight years ago) link

Precisely the sort of album cover I would hope for from someone who took the pseudonym "Suzanne Kraft".

― We'd like to conduct a wobulator test here (Sanpaku), Thursday, 16 July 2015 16:52 (eight years ago) link

I can't explain why exactly, but that cover art is making me ANGRY.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 16 July 2015 16:55 (eight years ago) link

Take it to the irrationally angry thread.

― We'd like to conduct a wobulator test here (Sanpaku), Thursday, 16 July 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link

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

Kraft cover is horrible but the album is good

IRL lol @ Kraft = secretly Paddington

I was thinking Monie Love might be hiding under that hat. Agreed, great image.

― geoffreyess, Thursday, 16 July 2015 18:55 (eight years ago) link

I think it's just that style/shade of denim that sets me off.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 16 July 2015 18:56 (eight years ago) link

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

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

love that but "sassyblack" aligned left really bothers me, should be center-aligned?

If they're going with the Star Wars font, I want a full opening crawl.
