Album Art

[JellyWorld]

Which albums do you think have the best album art? I like blink-182's self titled album (i think it's self-titled, didn't see a title anywhere) and My Chemical Romance's Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.

 

[IonizeMyAtoms]

I think the Paper Chase's God Bless Your Black Heart has a pretty cool cover
The first Arcade Fire demo is sweet
The Constantines' first full-length, the original cardboard one
I dunno, there's lots

 

[Lemonking]

Reanimation from Linkin Park

 

[evil^milk]

i'm not sure if this is for the album itself, but The Strokes have a nice thingy-picture for "Is This It".

[[w0f]Oblivion]

The new soad album art. Its really good, and painted by Darrens Father (not positive it was darrens father .. but you get the point)

 

[Stigmata]

I'm kind of partial to Billy Talent's album art, but that's probably because the disc didn't leave my CD player for six months straight.

I'm also a fan of minimalist-style album art. Assuming my personal definition of "minimalist" is in-line with everyone else's, Death From Above 1979's album cover sort of fits my definition. So does the Foo Fighters' One By One album cover.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane over the Sea

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of DFA79 but I do really like that cover

#1- Dark Side of the Moon-Pink Floyd
http://www.steve-marshall.co.uk/mma/wallpaper/Dark Side of the Moon Albumn Cover.jpg

Most amazing, thought provoking, ingenious album cover I have ever seen.

#2- Wish You Were Here-Pink Floyd
http://www.steve-marshall.co.uk/mma/wallpaper/Dark Side of the Moon Albumn Cover.jpg

Again, ingenious, thought provoking. So much connotation I cant even begin to explain.

#3- Wish You Were Here alt. Cover- Pink Floyd
http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/pics/05caljan0.jpg

This is also for the picture for the song "welcome to the machine". Guys this will make you think some more. Same reasons.

#4- Animals- Pink Floyd
http://102thebear.com/PinkFloydAnimals.jpg

Same reasons...notice the pig in the center?

I think pink floyd has the best album covers and pictures for their work. There is always a lot of thought put into them and it will always make you think. When you get a floyd album you get the whole deal...pictures, lyrics. Its awesome, and their pictures mean something. It always makes me think.

I mean look at these pictures for some of there songs

Shit I cant find the other pictures in the booklet. The guy swimming in the sand is pretty interesting. But I cant find it. Just buy wish you were here. You wont regret it.
