^ this is one of my favourite album covers. It's simple but powerful - love the imagery and the colours.

^ gorgeous colours, very fun and colourful like the album, and the doodles are really cute as well

Will post more as I think of them

Oh ok

Really cool painting, probably has a meaning that I don't understand

It's kind of simple but I love it, great band name and awesome album name

This one is also very simple, but it's a classic

There is a deer, and I approve of that

Always liked this one, it's really nice.

I know this is technically the cover for the single, but it is just so cheesy that it's fantastic

My last one for now is

I know that this is the CD, but it's really nice looking

This album art was a really stunning one for its time. Seriously, what ever happened to MIKA because I hardly hear anything about him these days, other than probably being a one-hit wonder.

Oh ok

This a reason why I love Radiohead, and it's because of their awesome album art.

Ones like Amnesiac, Hail To The Thief, OK Computer, In Rainbows and their latest one A Moon Shaped Pool are all really beautiful to look at.

i've always been a fan of kings of leon's because of the times. it's not pretty by conventional measures, i suppose, but i love the fact you can see every individual shard on this shattered glass.

Spoiler:

mother mother's very good bad thing is aesthetic honestly???

Spoiler:

uhhh this album isn't very GOOD, but i downloaded it because i love the colors on the album cover. it's nevelle viracocha if anyone is wondering. it's got like one or two songs i enjoyed. maybe worth a listen if you want.

Spoiler:

that's all for now, sorry. lol

 

[Spyro]

I really like most of Dream Theater's album artwork, but my favourite cover is Octavarium's. There's a lot of symbolism on this cover, and in the artwork of the booklet.

Spoiler:

Vanden Plas's Chroniclesis also one of my favourites, I love the little details of the picture, like how the tree branches go around the band's name, or the reflection in the water.

Spoiler:

I'm also a fan of Ayreon's album covers, they fit their whole weird ass sci-fi story, and they all have the same art style.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

All of Plini's album covers are also incredible. I often use them as wallpapers on my computer/phone

New Moon by Swallow the Sun

Emerald Forest and the Blackbird by Swallow the Sun

Roman by Sound Horizon. The full cover goes back to back like this:

looking at this thread is really like looking back at myself; love your choices guys.

album covers are really great. I find when I really love an album, I find myself looking at the cover and thinking how it's a great piece of art. when a cover and the musical content go together, it really contributes to a great experience.

I can't list album covers that are up there for me in terms of a life-experience, it's constantly changing. I'll mention a few that come to mind instantly.

Koi no Yokan by Deftones
Just for a Day by Slowdive
The Score by The Fugees
All of Cocteau Twins' albums
All of Massive Attack's albums
Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z
