Noteworthy album covers of 2011

flying dog and religious knives TM:OT

o shit plus that jenny hval shit, damn

Bugging me about Dum Dum Girls cover: small piece of leg in the "T" in "GETS" means that on a cursory glance, the record appears to be titled HE GET'S ME HIGH

That's like an Arcadian analogue to the last Efterklang:

IT SHOULD REALLY GO WITHOUT SAYING THAT IF A PIECE OF ALBUM ART DOES NOT INCORPORATE THE ARTIST AND ALBUM'S NAME, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY POST THAT ALONG WITH THE IMAGE
JUST SAYING

Not a fan of the Coathangers cover, but the 7" (done by the same artist, Jason Travis) is way better:

Mood Rings "Sweater Weather Forever" EP

Carnivores "German Flower" single

Carnivores one designed by drummer Ross Politi, who has awesome graphic design skills.

Er....oops, that the "Chandalier" one. Don't know if he did that, but probably...

That Sweater Weather cover reminds me of the Implodes one upthread... sans saturation plus laughably hip fading.

Not enough pheasants on album sleeves imo.

Um, don't know what happened there.

I think I like that

I know the image is big, but it doesn't read very well at a smaller size. If you check out an even larger picture (like here, for instance) you get to see the awesomely cheesy details.

lmao that opeth one has to be fake

Eh, it was posted on the opeth.com a coupla days ago. I also recall reading that this is to be their "jazz-fusion" record.

O_o

Like this art:

And the article about it makes me want to find it somewhere: http://thedecibeltolls.com/la-big-vic-actually/

What i've hear of their stuff has been pretty cool. Love this track
http://www.thefader.com/2011/03/15/la-big-vic-musica-mp3/

yeah that's a cool cover

Raise your hand if you knew Gomez was still making records. ANYWAY, this is nice...

Woah, La Big Vic's a must hear based on art work alone, even if I totally misread that as "Argyle" at first.

Listening to the La Big Vic album right now. It's a bit wispy, but really really nice.

I totally misread that as "Argyle" at first.

lol, me too.

me too.

great cover.

moombahton comp is, uh, eye catching, let's say, but pretty awful beyond that. hate the fonts & text placement.

do like the la big vig cover. it's a funny style to bite. who did that best of manhattan transfer cover, anyway?

gomez, eh

That La Big Vic cover reminds me of this :

"Featuring Rob Thomas" is definitely the most appalling thing about that cover.

This faux illuminati symbolism with triangles on the album cover bullshit must stop. Just be done with it already.

What is that even in reference to?
