Noteworthy album covers of 2011

it's no Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, but I'm feelin it.

I possibly shoot out a star with a BB gun / pop some balloons with darts at a state fair to win that in coke mirror format but that's about it.

^ would possibly...

hate the Symaca cover even though it has all the elements that ought to appeal to me. Looks like someone dropped a mint on a tiny civilization or something. Also the font is pretty shitty.

Limp Bizkit cover is amazing. Can't wait for the album.

Bizkit cover is way better than the Symaca cover.

why the black dude picking his nose?

Because he has a booger. Why do you pick YOUR nose?

Cover is surely Fred Durst's tribute to this:

limp bizkit cover is kinda dumb/funny (and yes godawful, but that's clearly the point)

prefer it to the symakya and emmanuelle parrenin, tbh

artist : the show is the rainbow
album : tickled pink
artwork : NSFW and really bad.

WOMEN ARE NOT FOOD LYRICS

women, woman, woah man!, i know man...
i will not look at you like i am hungry
i won't drink of you even though i'm thirsty
i won't drool or sink a tooth because women are not food
i won't pity you when you're rejected
you are loved and lauded not respected
i won't laugh or care for you because i will not be used

i can't be the first who said i'd leave it
i can't believe you can't believe it
a younger me don't get me started
after everything i think i did for it
i won't look at you like i am hungry
i won't drink of you even though i'm thirsty
i won't waste a bite on you because women are not food
i won't trick you into something funny
the thought of you broken up destroys me
i won't do what other men would love to do to you

i can't be the first who politely declined
so many bars with men waiting in line
they want to get confused and used blue
everything i do i do for the women

woman
woah man!, i know man...
i will not look at you like i am hungry
i won't drink of you though my thirst decieves me
your wet furry beach oasis feeds the dullest tools
i won't think of you like you mean nothing
you have thoughts you're alive your words mean something
I SALUTE MY MOTHERS FLAG BECAUSE WOMEN ARE SO COOL

^ the show is the rainbow - "women are not food"

He nicked that off an AC bootleg!

woah rad i had no idea icarus line was back together

Did they ever release anything after Black Lives? I didn't like that one at all.

no i think they went on hiatus after that. i got to see aaron north play with nine inch nails in 07 or 08 and he was awesome.

icarus line? holy shit, thought they vanished after pennance soiree.

I have a weaknesss for this prismatic kaleidoscope theme:

Africa Hitech - 93 Million Miles

- cover connection -

ELpH vs Coil - Worship the Glitch

both of those look like a filter being applied to a photo of something else. maybe if i squint...

The bottom one is like the junior boys record.

If you look at a small image of the junior boys cover, it looks like someone bending over.

I really wish they would stop letting bands near adobe illustrator.

oof that's disappointing.

re: Icarus Line. I saw them play in TO last year in front of about a dozen people in a medium-sized venue. Very awkward, and they didn't play any of Penance Soiree.

re junior boys cover - it's easier to notice in this one:

i would hang that on a wall

Not an album though is it?

well whatever

Sorry, it's a compulsion

What is it?

sorry, that's the cover for jamie xx's single "far nearer"

alright that's awesome

Yeah, I love it!

that reminds me of the spooky shapes test that was circulating some months back. "is this rectangle a liar?"

dunno what the deal with the spooky shapes thing is but it was bang on the nail about me

ooh that is fucking lovely

holy shit that test is otm
