Favorite Cover Art [2013]

[Ace.]

So far in this year, what is your favorite album and single cover art and why?

This is my favorite covert art for a single because it looks really nice.

My favorite album artwork because its nice and simple.​

 

[Weeaboo Name]

This one looks pretty good. I'm so not up to date on music I literally had to search 2013 albums, I have no idea who Ryan Hemsworth is.

The temptation to post Yeezus will be fought...

Album - Bring Me The Horizon - Sempiternal

In a year of poor album artworks, this is one I actually like. There have been a lot of albums I've appreciated this year, but the cover art has mainly been pretty crap. I would have went with French Montana's Excuse My French (which wasn't a good album), but the text on it really ruined the look.

Single - Azealia Banks - Yung Rapunxel

I usually have download whole albums rather than singles so I don't catch much single artwork, but since her album isn't out yet I have this as a single. It pretty much reflects the craziness of the song itself.​

Even though I hate singles and would prefer to get a full album instead, this single's art is really good. And I don't even like the song!

Land O' The Silver Birch - Doom Squad

 

[Hannah]

This album cover just screams I'm Demi Lovato. Buy my album because I'm so beautiful in this photo. I've never really been paying much attention to her music, but ever since I heard Heart Attack, I was hooked.

yeah basically

This is worth mentioning because it disgusted me so much I liked it.

The cover art to Foals' Holy Fire is probably my favourite from this year. Incredibly gorgeous.

 

[Domo Genesis]

Is Survived By by Touche Amore. Just...dreamy and surreal.

^ I second that.

Here's another that I quite like (VPI Harmony by Mood Rings):-

Three album covers spring to mind.

Native from OneRepublic
The blend of color and animals makes for a stunning and eye catching cover. It helps that the album is good too!

Yeezus from Kanye
I actually haven't listened to the album, but the minute I saw the album cover for Yeezus, I wished it was from an artist who I would have bought it from.

Bad Blood from Bastille
This has a perfect blend between the text font and the image. It's dark, intriguing, and much like the album itself it tells a story. It also has the very retro vibe to it that I like.

 

[Fire Flyy]

album is between these 2

not sure about the single, maybe

Spoiler:

Yeezus from Kanye
I actually haven't listened to the album, but the minute I saw the album cover for Yeezus, I wished it was from an artist who I would have bought it from.

Why isn't Kanye an artist you'd buy an album from? He's highly acclaimed by critics. Also you probably should listen.

His music just doesn't excite me. In general, Rap / HipHop isn't a genre I listen to very often pardon a few songs / artists. Probably the last song from Kanye I was really into when it was a big thing at the time was Stronger. Which coincidentally also had a cool single's cover art back then as well as a nice nod to Daft Punk.

This is also one of my favourites. It looks like a photo you'd find at the back of your closet that you took on a holiday a decade ago.

Whenever, If Ever by The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die:-

The Bad Blood cover art always kinda reminded me of this poster for one of David Lynch's films:-

God, I love Forest Swords. their new effort is just so awesome.
I find the covert art for Altered State by TesseracT to be pretty cool.
