The Offspring - Americana

>>434266 and picrel

>>441766
shit, didn't realize there was already an album cover thread in the catalog. oh well.

>>441761
While animals is better album, idk how anyone can not thing WYWH isn't the best floyd cover.
But I'll admit this is more /p/ outside of the singe mark on the top right. If we are talking straight-up digitally made I'd say At War with the Mystics was always a fave

Emergency & I is kind of one of those iconic album covers, but I think that "!" is a super fun album cover that managers to perfectly capture exactly what the album sounds like, somehow.

>>441782

Flaming Lips are some GOAT album covers for /gd/

deftones white pony meant a lot to mean back then.

Not really an album cover but also;

This is made by my favourite graphic designer every

Well that one's specifically vinyl covers

how would you describe this emotion? screaming in confusion?

>>442122
Hysterical inquisitiveness

There's multiple versions, picrel is the original that got pulled for using celebrity faces without permission on the inner sleeve, that showed through die cut holes on the cover...the later ones replaced them with "pardon our mess, cover under reconstruction"...but kept the same die cut which made it even more deliberately cheap and trashy looking than it was.

Not only a very complex package that was tons of fun to play with as you slid the sleeve out and the faces changed positions, it was also issued in multiple color schemes depending on region.

Not just cool for being complex and expensive to produce, the juxtaposition of that with the shitty cheap catalog art (from a real catalog) and the deliberately crappy color and die cut registration is hilarious and brilliant.

Toto is /fa/

90% of people who like candy claws discovered them because someone posted this album cover

>>441761
it was pic related when I was a kid. My parents had the LP and you could open it up and see the whole space station.
Now I like more minimalistic stuff. Maybe Steely Dan's Aja

all of rune grammofons releases are s tier

>>441761
this one

>>443114
...that's Bertha from the Grateful Dead.
Great photo, but did some metal band really just use that?

The Church - Seance

>>443412
They also did a blue version for whatever reason

One of my favorite versions of the album cover

>>444686
it's this one for me, i like to think it takes place years and years after the cover for Power. Kanye's decapitated head has decomposed and grass has grown on the battlefield.

i love both the album covers from dust my favorite 70s proto metal band

>>444813

full-on schizophrenic breakdown, his brain is torturing him

>>443327
yes (https://murmuure.bandcamp.com/album/murmu-re) and its actually a great album

>>443068
they all look exactly the same. one of them would tickle the nostalgia the right amount to be enjoyable. but the uniformity makes it smell like soulless, massproduced plastic!

>>443430

dunno if this counts but i love the artwork

same artist made most of the melvins' covers + tool's the pot cover iirc

unironically good album + any artwork by arik roper goes hard

Frank Kozik, died a month ago

>>445220
my friend showed me this in like 2007 or 2008 or something
i think it was called "jerusalem" at the time
the first track was like one note for 5 minutes straight before it changed
it was awesome
i should listen to it again

Love how this looks

>>445125
i love this album. i've always appreciated the text design but i wouldn't have thought of it for this thread

Silviera's meltdown

king for a day fool for a lifetime of faith no more :D

>>445739
Based.

I always liked this one. I remember seeing it and feeling sorry for the dove

>>441856
Modern factory zoomer as designer cover looking ass. Even got quirky text down.

>>445220
Great cover, until I look at the person in front and see this bad cartoonish art style.

the music sounds just like the cover

>>447041
Spotify has been pushing boards of canada on me for the last two or three days with smartshuffle. I like them although one of their songs sounds like the stereotypical youtuber outro song. Kek is this how they became famous

this is the most fitting cover I've seen for a 'dark ambient' EP I've ever seen. title track really feels like this.

>>441761
Not an album but a single.

>>447045
Unironically yes. They were making lo-fi chill beats to study to (but actually interesting) since the early 90's.

>>446964
It's the opposite
Most album covers nowadays have no text on them due to streaming not needing them
Back then only more underground acts or the super famous rock stars like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd could really get away with it during the era of the record store

>>443412
>>443413
crazy shit this album is from 1983 and not now
wouldn't look out of place with some noise indie goth rock act or black metal band

>>441761
I really like the many album covers from YMO's discography, especially After Service, BGM and Solid State Survivor, but the front and back covers from their first album's US release are the most iconic.

bit of an obscure one

>>443046
this probably is my fav album cover of all time. i love this album too (or at least my memories of it) and thats why i dont listen to it anymore

>>445764

>>442122
It's always struck me as a panic attack.

>>446623
I feel sorry, too. Being so close to that ebony earth goddess' vagina, a work of art that is smeared by that unsightly bush.

Why must we humans fear perfection?

shout out to cal schenkel
also i win the thread

>>443327
uh ackshually it's from a printing of the rubaiyat illustrated by edmund sullivan

hard to pick a favourite, it's hard to tell where the cover design is genuinely strong and where i just like the album. This cover has directly inspired me in some of my design stuff though, so it's at least up there.

>>445380
I love this album
>>448368

>>448368
this album cover was inspired by madonnas debut self-titled

>>448372
I remember reading that, it does share that monochrome with the splash of colour, but to me theres something more alluring with the way Madvillainy does it, just the square in the corner rather than as part of the title or logo or what have you. It's own seperate shape, but still complementing the rest of the piece.

it is perfect

>>445220
unfathomably based, i love listening to it high and reading sci fi books. check out picrel, i think you might like it

It spoke to me when I saw it idk

Inspired me to attempt oil painting

So pleasant to look at

>>448328
This isn't nearly as good as you think.
It isn't even his best.

>>441761
I really like Vinyl Wastelands old covers, the new ones are kinda meh

>>441761
A brazillian classic that also work as a reaction image

No Asia albums in this thread, disappointing

One of my favorites

>>442122
"Just realizing there is a roach in my shoulder"

This and Skeleton Tree's are, probably, my favourite

>>441761

Changed my mind, this is my favorite album cover.

>>441761
it got shit on but i think its nice

>>446652
ATTW3 was baffling. This is the best.

>>447220
Yes, back in my international marketing class in college, I presented this as an example of blending east & west.

>>445220
My demented old grandmother declared "This is fuckin awesome" when I played this for her. It's undeniably great.
It was playing in my car once and my friend said "This makes me think of a sci fi desert". I showed him the album art and blew his mind.

So many to choose from. There's hundreds of album covers that I love.

>>441774
Love this one. Their album Turn of a Friendly Card is another favorite cover of mine.

>>441769
That Rainbow Rising looks amazing.

>>443091
Cant go wrong with spaceship album covers

Last one. Gotta stop because I could post covers all day.

>>443039
I love this. She looks mid-orgasm.

I love Terminal 11

Casiopea is one of my favorite

>>448119
Reminds me of graphics in high school biology textbooks showing the different parts of a cell and what not.

>>450395

Both wrong, picrel is the best.

Posting some of personal favorites

Just received this LP as a gift today for Christmas. My uncle got this for me and was intrigued by the cover so he listened to it and was...puzzled...to say the least.

the blue note album covers had elite graphic design

>>451746
Okay, last one - I gotta get some sleep. Good night /gd/, hope you all had a good Christmas!

>>451745
this is literally the only good post in this thread.

>>441761
i know this is weebshit but I personally like this one

this one is my favourite cover of all vocaloid albums. it's pretty rare for vocaloid producers to make albums since most just publish on youtube, so there aren't many examples.

>>450503
that one is pretty good

Dennis Forkas' covers for Behemoth (Satanist) and Ahklis (Melinoe). That Animals one is up there.

Cool question. Maybe Radiohead?

>>458046
