I don't know why, but I just like minimalism in covers.

That Bloc Party one still doesn't fit the album, IMHO. That picture should be the cover of something like Sigur Ros. But anyway - this isn't about the contents, so nevermind.

I should have found a better photo, because the reds on that cover should really stand out.

Conveniently, also one of my favorite albums, but what a fucking great piece of cover art.

― John Justen, Thursday, 6 September 2007 01:22 (eighteen years ago)

two years pass...

A couple of my favorite album covers. Have most of these on vinyl and they look awesome.

Oh yes, did this ones for a 'guess the album cover' game with some friends so the names of the albums and the bands have been removed on purpose. Most of them are pretty easy to guess but if you wish to know info on a certain album please let me know.

one year passes...

Numerous album cover threads...Dave Wiegel, who usually writes about politics, has a slide show up of "The Beautiful, Horrible Album Covers of Prog" (he's been writing about the genre all week):

I haven't listened to this album at least since I had a cassette deck, but I'd still go to bat for a few of the songs and this album cover still draws me in, twenty years later.

― Judah Ben Ghazi (how's life), Friday, 16 November 2012 23:47 (thirteen years ago)

wow. just went and listened to some of those songs. maybe nevermind.

― Judah Ben Ghazi (how's life), Friday, 16 November 2012 23:52 (thirteen years ago)

yeah that one's a good second choice

Weird opening this thread and seeing posts by me under my real name NINE years ago.

Anyway, I've kind of settled on this being my favorite album cover ever. As I've described it before, it's an entire movie in a single frame.
