That looks as though there are cutouts on the foreheads--is that so?

That Middle America/Netherfriends thing is pretty cool, actually.

Hah I know that Netherfriends guy. He's on a mission to record a song in every state in the USA. Really nice dude.

trimdon orange explosion (electricsound), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 07:04 (fourteen years ago)

gah, there hasn't been a "noteworthy" album cover posted since the break. burnt friedman art is kind of cool in a "looks like a detail from a mati klarwein painting" sense, but other than that...

Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 07:09 (fourteen years ago)

fu if you don't think God's Father cover is notable

Turns out it's a detail from the painting Harikiri Schoolgirls 2002 by Makoto Aida

the digitally dicked with version posted above, otoh, is hideous. and i dunno, i feel like i have at this point seen enough manga-style japanese art depicting cleverly butchered schoolgirls to last me a fucking lifetime.

that is: Silvester Anfang – Perzische Tapijten (2012)

interesting note: first pressing of 500 sold out. 250 more currently being pressed. pressing denoted by 1st in rougher matt sleeve, 2nd in glossy sleeve…

good luck Peeta Mellark (Bee OK), Thursday, 22 March 2012 03:15 (fourteen years ago)

one of those rougher matt sleeve pressings took a beating in transit

dang, i hope it actually comes wrapped in an ancient towelette like that, not just a picture

Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Saturday, 24 March 2012 06:44 (fourteen years ago)

but a picture's cool too

au cover is also great. i get seriously into agate sometimes.

Wow is that bad!

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 24 March 2012 18:06 (fourteen years ago)

yeah, just do not understand. something good might have come of the basic image, i guess? if the background were a different color maybe, and if the text played up the garish WTF-ness. i mean, i'm reaching, perhaps because i like the gossip & beth, but i don't see how those elements could be combined in a less successful fashion.

Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Saturday, 24 March 2012 18:29 (fourteen years ago)

do love sigh – in somniphobia. much better "painted cover" than either high on fire (their worst yet? at least tied w snakes) or day trader.

Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Saturday, 24 March 2012 18:32 (fourteen years ago)

Beth Ditto's hand is strangely fascinating to me but everything else on that cover is a complete howler
