CD cover art you are digging at the moment

nyahh, 1 March 2003 - 1:21am

uh, these are the ones i can think of at the moment:

I like the heart design on The Foo Fighters-One by One. I'ts simple but effective.
Also the photo on Degrees K-Lifelike is pretty nifty.
Aaron Dustin's design on Marystaple-Reset Speed is wicked.
The psychedellic rainbow couloured circle on The Musics album.
The picture on Badly Drawn Boy- Don't Forget to Feed The Fish is cool.
The painting on Lifehouse-No Name Face
Pearl Jam always seem to have cool covers. Well the last few esspecially.
Radiohead also always have cool cover art.

((Also what do people think of speculations that stanley donwood IS thom yorke...i'm thinking this isn't true but you never know))

I like the little Robot mecha thing on the cover of LostProphets album 'Thefakesoundofprogress'.
Also, although the band is rather blah in my opinion, Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park - what a brilliant artist!

Music and Art. What a brilliant fucking combo!

Don't forget Joseph Hahn, his artwork is equally impressive.
And what do you mean by 'blah'?

Dave McKean does my favourite covers. He did Obselete and Demanufacture, both by Fear Factory, as well as all the Sandman covers.
The Giger cover for Brain Salad Surgery is also a fave - crap album, though.
The Tool ones are very clever.
The APC design is nice.
I like the NIN packaging.
And I really liked Michael Whelan's art for Sepultura and Obituary. Very old-school fantasy metal but the detail is great.

well like everyone else... one by one
and definitly -lateralus - tool
-coldplay - rush of blood to the head
-blindspott
-linkin park - hybrid theory and reanimation, its cool how they carry on that dude with wings in the reanimation cover as well but they sort of 'reanimate' the character dude aswell. :)
-ummm the papa roach cd, the latest one, i dont really like the cd all that much even tho i own it but the baby with the headphones on the front is pretty damn cool.
-staind, break the cycle
-incubus, make urself
-betchadupa, the alphabetchadupa, mainly because the picture on the front is actually taken by Liam who is actually holding the camera and in the phhoto. its obviously taken in a mirror or sumthing.

i think thats bout it. :)

Liam took the photo for the Alphabetchadupa in an elevator (one of those ones with mirrors on the walls), according to the flying nun website. the first time i saw it i was like, huh lots of people who all look the same, then i'm like, oh its reflections, but then i thought, hey Liams holding the camera! how the hell? oh i see, more than one mirror, i get it now :)

There was a total of about 2-3 good songs on Morning View. 11am is my favourite Incubus song ever but when you have a song like that it's hard to rival it. And to be honest and this is just my opinion I thought the cover was excellent it almost made me wanna buy the album when i saw it but then i was given a copied version of it and I must say i was dissapointed and 8 months down the track no other tracks have grown on me. You might like it but thats fine don't bother trying to shove it down my throat when you should very well know that not everyone's going to like all the bands you do and some people are going to like cd covers better than the music inside it.
