Album Covers of the Year 2015
http://www.redefinemag.com/2015/album-covers-of-the-year-2015/

Another year of our favorites in Top Album Cover Artwork, and once again, we interview musicians and artists on the often-underappreciated work that goes into creating a product that not only tickles your ears, but speaks to your eyes and hearts. Album artwork, though often only viewed on tiny screens in this day and age, is indeed a long and laborious process that we love to give its due credit.
So read on, and choose your own artistic adventure:

> Digital & 3D Album Covers
> Fine Art & Illustration Album Covers
> Mixed Media & Collage Album Covers
> Photography & Digitally-Manipulated Album Covers

conditional random jepsen (seandalai), Saturday, 23 January 2016 18:07 (eight years ago) link

My bad actually, I was positive we already had started it (I got it mixed up with the cover connections one)

moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Saturday, 23 January 2016 20:38 (eight years ago) link

Finally an actual noteworthy cover (the one for Slowness)
