STUPID

#yolo contendere (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 30 March 2012 04:55 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah, I love a good typography cover. Someone let them know that's not one.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 30 March 2012 04:55 (fourteen years ago)

wow that pink/moore cover is quite bold

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Friday, 30 March 2012 05:36 (fourteen years ago)

When you uninvert the colours in that Ariel Pink cover, it actually looks pretty cool (except for the Yin Wang thing):

NSFW, obviously

Why couldn't they have just used the original instead of the arty inverted one?

Tuomas, Friday, 30 March 2012 07:10 (fourteen years ago)

"Yin Yang"

TALiB KWELi SODMG (The Reverend), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 05:36 (fourteen years ago)

that is p amazing actually

the album sounded ok while they were reviewing it on npr but it also sorta reeked of black keys

akadarbarijava (psychgawsple), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 05:57 (fourteen years ago)

Just the fact that he's even approaching being aggressive in any way again is refreshing. He's been dishing out meaningless jingles for decades.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 April 2012 15:18 (fourteen years ago)

this kinda thing is total catnip to me, stolen from the punk thread:

Not a big fan of Cold War Kids, but I love this style of cover (note to The Walkmen: typography based covers done right can look really good!)

^^i thought i hated dr. john until i heard this album, which is a heavy groove, maaaan

the penultimate prophets (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 4 April 2012 17:14 (fourteen years ago)

like that fake limbs. reminds me a bit too strongly of pissed jeans shallow though.

I do not like these past three covers, band names or titles.

Oxnard Cohen (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 7 April 2012 06:12 (fourteen years ago)

it hugs back have done some lovely sleeves, but that is not one of their lovely ones.

Slava - Soft Control

Can't remember if I posted that already. Yet another hands-only cover, kind of fascinated by the moisture content of this one though.

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Saturday, 7 April 2012 18:55 (fourteen years ago)

for some reason that gives me the creeps.

Yeah, that hand looks like something they found in the fish counter at Sainsbury's.

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Saturday, 7 April 2012 20:29 (fourteen years ago)

it must be some kind of oil with water on top to give that droplet effect, no? very weird

ilxor, Sunday, 8 April 2012 04:22 (fourteen years ago)

scumulator (electricsound), Sunday, 8 April 2012 04:40 (fourteen years ago)

Like the Mirroring cover, too. Cover connection with the Flights of Fancy one!
