I really like elaborate, kind of "framed" album covers like this one and the Hush Sound CD below.

Just posted this one because I think it's funny. Also, pretty much all other Ben Folds Five cover art sucks.

In addition to having a neat cover, this is also hands down the greatest album I've ever heard. But I'm 16, what do I know.

All the artwork associated with this album is great. I'm curious who the artist was.

My favorite album ever, and the cover just fits. It's got so many layers & I can't help but notice something new every time I see it, just like the music.

Any album that uses artwork by Dave McKean is going to look great.

Frank Zappa - We're Only In It For The Money

That's not the cover. This is:

which, unlike a picture of half of the band, pretty much tells you what the album is all about. And looks good! And is funny!

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

You lazy craps, try to write a sentence about an album if you can. When I did the good/bad thread to start the fad, I could at least be arsed to supplement each one with a subject and a predicate so it wouldn't just be an imagedump.

The Thought Industry - Short Wave on a Cold Day

Love this one. Reminds me of The Polar Express, which is particularly resonant imagery for many of us who read it in elementary school and were introduced to it as award-winning illustration. Musically, it's kind of a really accessible prog-metal, and sounds as cold and bleak as the art would lead you to believe. First five tracks are terrific and the rest are pretty good, too. Go get this!

Some of the albums posted are pretty terrible. It almost seems as if people are just posting their favourite albums regardless of the art.

Nope. Not me. Half the albums I posted I do not own. I just think the cover's great.

(Updated to explain why I like them/justify that I'm not just putting my favourites)

I don't know, I've always liked the abstract-like feel to this. It's incredibly odd and random, which also reflects the music.

Does this one even need an explanation?

This one just looks cool. It's not too busy, but the pic is great and it reflects the bum trailer park hick sound of the CD.

The colours look cool and I like the sparrows. Mind you, Billy Talent III is hardly the most creative name (you can guess what their previous two albums were called). Bonus: White Sparrows is the name of one of the tracks.

Simple, yet great-looking. The colours look awesome as well.

Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

These 2 are just fantastic and classic, I like 2 a but more than 1, as I like the blue used more and that hes about to strike the bat (also he doesnt look nude). The first one is an awesome one too, showin someone gettin out of hell!
