oh! no, i meant i *liked* the Friends cover but really more for the nostalgia it evoked than it being anything particularly innovative.
but for the count, that You Made Me Realise cover is likely in my top 5 album covers

Ah, thanks for clearing that up! Didn't see the friend crush cover in your original post. And assumed you weren't talking about Weird Al's record being a cross between the two lovely covers you put up ;-)
I'm intruigued by this Friends one btw.

Oh good, it's time for another Damon & Naomi album I'll listen to once, like very much, and then file away never to be listened to again.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 22 April 2011 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks for the link Johnny! Wouldn't have guessed 'Sdneirfbackwards'...
I like the Damon & Naomi cover. Unfortunately it will pretty much go like mr. Fever described up here. Which is so stupid of me because I do really like it, nearly all albums. For some reason they get marginalised in my mind.

Pretty Lights covers are so good. Love that pulpy scifi paperback vibe.

It's unfortunate that he's so awful. He's from a local college town here in CO, Fort Collins, and is p much a shining example of frat boy electro.
― kelpolaris, Monday, 25 April 2011 02:57 (thirteen years ago) link
admittedly his moniker tho stems from his light shows, which i've seen and are pretty neat. on drugs.

Not so much for the xcover itself, but for the execution of the whole package, the new Explosions in the Sky

See I think that Girls Names looks like a hundred other Altered Zones/chillwave covers. That whole aesthetic is just boring for me now, even if it is a pretty photograph.

i like it a lot, it reminds me of something else that i love i can't quite put my finger on. doesn't hurt that the album is really great too
i love this though, although i don't expect anyone else to. i love every cover this band has done

that art museums album is v. nice! agree with the strange familiarity -- kind of a "miami vice" interpretation of abstract/pop art? not sure how to describe it, but they nailed a very specific aesthetic there.

Art Museums reminds me of Tusk, for some reason. Obviously it's like a lot of '80s covers as well.

You know Skeletons, table? I kicked about with Tony a bit when he was over in the UK for a while and saw them play - lovely guys and a great band.

One look at the Skeletons cover and I was all "This Last Night in Sodom by Soft Cell!" -- although... it's not really all that similar?
