Awesome!

That's great--though it bugs me that the circle in the middle of the playing field is a smooth curve, not pixelated

BAND NAME AND RECORD TITLE IS?

� (a hoy hoy), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 02:10 (twelve years ago) link

guys we've been over this...

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

Jay-Z & Kanye West - Watch the Throne

bed bath and beyoncé (The Reverend), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 04:22 (twelve years ago) link

i'm split on the watch the throne one -- on the one hand the design is kinda cool, on the other it's pretty much kanye self-parody

gucci mande (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 04:25 (twelve years ago) link

It looks like the bougie version of Pen & Pixel, minus all the things that were dope about P&P.

that Mastodon cover looks like AJ Fosik's work. He's got alot of cool similar stuff in Hi-Fructose and other such places.

I posted the 2D cover upthread somewhere for the Danger Mouse/Daniele Luppi ROME thing, but here it is in its vinyl presentation

This band Sungrazer sounds like what you would expect from the cover.

EZ Snappin, Thursday, 14 July 2011 00:32 (twelve years ago) link

Like jacuzzi boys, very William Eggleston.

Mashup album art done rite!

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 14 July 2011 05:29 (twelve years ago) link

what happened to this thread? jacuzzi boys is nice (strongly reminiscent of big star's radio city), and i love legendary 1977, like kokmodo.

but otherwise, yeesh.

Little GTFO (contenderizer), Thursday, 14 July 2011 22:54 (twelve years ago) link

this cover is making me irrationally angry

bed bath and beyoncé (The Reverend), Friday, 15 July 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

there's so much wrong with it besides just the obvious thing

bed bath and beyoncé (The Reverend), Friday, 15 July 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link

Needs to wipe his nose imo.

Pitbull cover is great. Love it

van smack, Friday, 15 July 2011 22:34 (twelve years ago) link

imagine making passionate love to a beautiful girl in Miami, and then she turns over for some doggy and there's pitbull and he yells WATAGATAPITUSBERRY http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

"oh shit, i'm gonna spotify you so hard!!" (dave cool), Friday, 15 July 2011 22:37 (twelve years ago) link

Mike Simonetti- Capricorn Rising

mizzell, Monday, 18 July 2011 15:09 (twelve years ago) link

Oh dear. I love Maria Minerva, but I fear this will cause most people to never take the album seriously in any way...

oh man, what label okayed that? nnf?

scraping wheatus off the wheel (NickB), Monday, 18 July 2011 18:59 (twelve years ago) link

art is acceptable, font and mode7 clouds are not xpost

little mushroom person (abanana), Monday, 18 July 2011 19:07 (twelve years ago) link

oh man, what label okayed that? nnf?

Ha! Yes.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 18 July 2011 19:10 (twelve years ago) link

I mean, it's deliberately bad, though, surely? Wink wink bad, rather than, say CocoRosie's last album bad.

Walter Galt, Monday, 18 July 2011 20:24 (twelve years ago) link

I think so, yeah. I asked her about it on fb a few weeks ago, and she said (without showing it at that time) that it was either going to be on best or worst lists at the end of the year. Now I know what she meant.

Autre Ne Veut - Body

Samantha Mumbahton (seandalai), Monday, 18 July 2011 21:58 (twelve years ago) link

Definitely outdoes the Toro Y Moi cover for close-up grossness.

Johnny Fever, Monday, 18 July 2011 22:48 (twelve years ago) link

Human flesh is not gross. I like it.

Asamoah Nyan (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 18 July 2011 22:49 (twelve years ago) link

I kind of like it too, though I don't exactly know (nor want to know) what's pictured here

Bee OK, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 06:50 (twelve years ago) link

That Mr. Heavenly cover is....something.

bed bath and beyoncé (The Reverend), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 15:31 (twelve years ago) link

don't care for the horizontal lines on Tiny Ruins, but otherwise it's pretty nice.

rockapads, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 17:01 (twelve years ago) link

No apologies for the size, this is absolutely spectacular and needs to be seen writ large.
