"Album covers"

I like album art a lot. It interests me.

Whole point of this topic is, please, to give links to album covers and art... the best album art you've seen.

Lifehouse - No Name Face

awesome cover.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon also rules. All the rainbows... weeee.....

I also agree with Sheepy on the OK Computer cover too.

Def Lepard - no, really! Their compilation album of B-sides and soundtrack material had the 'woman in the mirror' picture that looks like a skull. You know the one.

um...The Beatles white album?

The Soil - Halo single on vinyl. It has two layers - you can scratch the first off. It rules.

Smashing Pumpkins - Machina is excellent.

Hate the tree but love the image on the CD.

I can't believe I missed seeing them live, I so wanted a shirt with it on :-(

My favourite which I own are:

Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary

Far - Tin Cans With Strings To You
(http://images.amazon.com/ (space) images/P/B000002BFQ.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)

I like Diary because I just love the whole art theme for the album. Tin Cans...in real life it looks like pretty raw and unproduced art much like Far did when they handmade the 'In The Aisle Yelling' tapes in their early days.

Oh and this is my favourite album even though it is Pink:

Mmm, yeah, Lemon Jelly stuff always looks nice. I used to really like the Mo'Wax stuff that was always so beautifully packaged; it showed they really cared, and weren't just banging out a CD to make a quick buck. The DJ Shadow album was really nice, but I found out my one was a bit broken the other day. Sob.

Oooh, but the absolute *best* CD box was the Spiritualized album 'Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space' that was made up like a box of aspirin. The CD was even behind a little foil cover that you had to break. And the sleeve notes were like a drug information leaflet. I just went and found it: it even has an actual pharmacist's label (not just a picture) that says '1 Spiritualized Tablet 70 M: Play Once Twice Daily'. And the leaflet inside says 'What is Spiritualized for? Spiritualized is used to treat the heart and soul'. Yeah, that is the best bit of packaging ever. Brilliant, brilliant album too: go out and buy it.

My dad's Yes LPs are pretty cool

Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons.


They're graphic artists who dabble in experimental dance noodlings. Famous for their gig tickets being specially printed T-shirts. If you aren't wearing the right t-shirt you can't get in.

Tools last 3 albums

Undertow
Aenima
Lateralus

Class.

I was going to say - since when have there been 67 minutes in an hour?

Steal This Album by System of a Down is nice and original, having a picture of a copied CD on the cover and no inlay. Although someone's probably done it before...

Translation:

Grix has got some pirate albums, and is looking for cover art to print off, so the CD-R's don't look too conspicuous in his collection!
