"Bleach" features no bleach, "Cartoon Heroes" features no cartoon heroes (at least none I recognize),
Also, the "Water Babies" cover is actually an ironic twist on the Victorian concept; "Danse Macabre" is similar, a hipster reinvention of the graphic tradition. "Moving Pictures" is not "yawnsomely literal" because it employs a pun. Ditto "Rocks"--ok, it might not be Shakespeare, but it is sure trying harder than "The Raven."
Looks like AC/DC are the champions here!

"Bleach" features no bleachWell, the photo is reversed, or, in a sense, bleached. Good enough for ya?
Note "in a sense"--i.e. not literal. Figurative. I would say that it doesn't even work very well, since the usual figurative sense of "bleach" is to whiten/make pale/washed out. But this image is simply a negative, with blacks as well as whites.
Evidently not enough of them, since I have no idea what you're talking about (and have never heard of Aqua till this thread). But I'm guessing they're actually a band. Either you're joking (i.e. it's not literal) or they are only cartoon heroes in a certain sense, or to a certain viewership, in which case "yawnsomely literal" is not going to cover it.
I also heartily object to the Betty Davis above--where is the literalness there...

Re. the 'Bleach' thing: The photo is clearly a tiresome and obvious pun on the title. That's yawningly literal enough for me.

You're right, at a certain point the figurative comes into play in all of language, nothing is purely literal. But I still see significant differences here.
Waits: "nighthawk" commonly means night owl, the album depicts people in a diner, presumably late at night. The idea is, teh title is "Nighthawks at the diner," let's show some nighthawks at a diner.
Joel: He wants to call the album Glass Houses, the suits say, great! Let's show you ready to throw a stone at, see, an actual glass house! Because that's the saying, you know! So we make the symbolism literal! Cool!
AC/DC: the phrase "Blow up your video" makes no sense at all, but the image is of a TV, with Angus Young on it, who could conceivably be in a vide being shown on that TV, and the TV is blowing up. It is a very lame attempt at a literal depiction of a silly idea.
In each case there is a phrase that is depicted visually in concrete terms.
Aqua: the thing is, they don't look like they're in a cartoon in that picture! I haven't seen the printed album, maybe it's different, but in the jpeg it looks like a photograph of the band. THey could have had them dressed as Superman, Power Rangers, whatever. So to see them as "cartoon heroes" I guess you're saying you need to rely on things you've seen in the past, subtexts, in which case we're clearly beyond the literal.
Nirvana: You're right, the image attempts to make a visual pun on the name. They don't say, "ok, bleach, let's show some bleach"--instead they think, how can we make a visual analog for "bleaching"? Let's use a negative image of the band performing live. YOu find this obvious--I don't since it inverts shades rather than erasing (bleaching) them--but literal it ain't.

But what's really interesting is what some of these covers say about what the bands and/or record companies think of their audience! Esp. since album covers are often this moment of sophistication (since, when, the late 60s? early 70s?), semiotic complexity, whatever, where the relationship between word and image is a game or puzzle... and then there's AC/DC's "Flick of the switch"! (or the one above, a great example!)

I think a lot of those are illustrating a visual pun on the title so not Yawnsomely Literal. Might have been thought of as quite imaginative at the time but got dulled by familiarity in the interval years. Not like somebody's come along and generically botched something up as a bad advertising company might. Seems to be some thought put into what has been illustrated and how. Also seems that a couple at least may have had the image in mind before naming.

just a taste... and that doesn't include any of the covers where the artist is looking winsomely inward, reflecting on his/her deepness.

Well done! Rupert Holmes ftw, looks like a pretty full life he's lived in that circle. We started at the Itsukushima Shrine, baby, and look where we've ended up.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 11 August 2014 01:15 (ten years ago)
ha. scrolling through i thought for half a second that it was a band called full circle with all kinds of inexplicable album titles.
― Merdeyeux, Monday, 11 August 2014 01:19 (ten years ago)
That band would have ruled! Like, each time they're trying to make up a really generic name for a different style of artist that might put out an album called "Full Circle."
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 11 August 2014 01:34 (ten years ago)
a lot of those albums can be summed up as "this is my first album in 20 years!" or "this is gonna be last album ever!" or "this is the album where I reflect upon my long and fruitful career." Rupert Holmes must have been an extraordinary human being in order to have gone full circle at age 34, just 2 years after his big hit.

Leon Thomas managed to avoid using the circle motif, despite the album title:

Though funnily enough, he used it in an earlier album with a different title:

alternate cover art: an elderly Brian Wilson is sitting on the beach with a margarita in hand, being fanned by two beautiful beach babes. nearby, five young men in green-and-white striped swim trunks are running down the pier, just about to jump in the water. the chubby one (representing a young Brian Wilson) is waving at the older Brian to join them, but the older Brian dismisses him with a smug grin and a flick of the wrist. No Pier Pressure.

So many aspects of 60s titles carry the seeds of the thread genre - the jazz albums punning on the artists' name thread really opens out that territory. It's really hard to articulate what feels different about the lame and terrible jokes or proclamations of casual-ness from the later period. Maybe the sense that the artist came up with the title themselves and feel it represents their DGAF Good-Times Young Dude Swag, versus the studio titles cooked up by the advertising boys down the hall.

But the windmill isn't in a valley, it's on a hill. Why would you put a windmill in a valley? The album should be called Hill of the Windmill.
Or "Valley From Which You Can See the Windmill". Imagine if it was called Whirlpool of the Meerkats or Ocean of the Spiders. It wouldn't make sense. I'm sure there are whirlpools from which you can see meerkats but that doesn't narrow things down enough.
Otherwise every place on Earth would be called Location From Which You Can See the Moon, except for caves.
― Ashley Pomeroy, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:44 (six years ago)
I think the windmill rules over the valley with its metallic sails of doom, is the idea. Ocean of the Spiders would've been better for sure.

It's mostly the leavings from a roast chicken I think? I've looked at that second LP a few times but I had never even noticed the characters from the first LP (even the lamb!) before.
I think these Toe Fat records are too weird to be fully yawnsome. And the toes themselves are maybe not fat enough to be literal?

It just hit me that this "iconic" album title and cover is actually horribly unimaginative, literally named after the fucking recording studio and the cover is just them walking on a road. It's not far off from calling a song "Untitled Original." Still one of my favorite records of all time.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 30 November 2020 06:11 (four years ago)
In 1970, the studio was renamed from EMI in honour of the group's 1969 album Abbey Road.

Is "God's great banana skin" some known expression/metaphor that I'm just not familiar with, or did Rea come up with it himself? What does it even mean?
― Tuomas, Monday, 30 November 2020 07:54 (four years ago)
Ah, it's explained at the Wiki page for the title song:
Rea was inspired to write the song after he noticed his daughter was tempted to laugh at "somebody who'd been giving her a hard time". Rea told John Pidgeon in 1992: "I told her 'don't laugh when people go down even if they've been awful to you because you're tempting God to throw you a banana skin'. It's half moral and half superstition. Anybody who's done me a disservice in life, and I see them go down, you get tempted to laugh. I don't know whether it's superstition or not, or I daren't laugh just in case God throws me a banana skin as well."

Circles is even better than that picture portrays. The vinyl had a die-cut cover around the largest photo of William and it was also a circle, of course.
(Album is decent, btw. Very Bitches Brew and Hendrix-inspired fusion.)
Fleet Foxes Shore is also another one where it's like, "Yeah, what else could possibly go on the cover?"

One of the other threads prompted me to look through Hipgnosis' portfolio, which was about 1% greatness and 99% terrible puns. I was slightly surprised that Herman Rarebell's Nip in the Bud wasn't a cutting-edge 1970s photo collage of e.g. a Japanese woman curled up inside a flower. Or a cartoon of a Japanese man emerging from the mouth of Bud Flanagan. I don't know.
But for every record that subverted my expectations there were e.g.:https://i.discogs.com/jmwFe8CMWGMTebwwg6Zyl025k8_rmMQcSs1TMUzDgnk/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:596/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI4MTk4/ODMtMTM1MzcwMjU0/Ni01ODI4LmpwZWc.jpeghttps://i.discogs.com/HYyu7Aq6s54H_wEbN0HIO0C0kHZztznhl10nYBba12M/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:484/w:493/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTI1NzMz/NTYtMTI5MTEzNjI3/OC5qcGVn.jpeghttps://i.discogs.com/TA1FtI02uBHilzt6hJyWtMGtzyiNbLu9VFKR1WR9iQw/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:600/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXNjb2dz/LWRhdGFiYXNlLWlt/YWdlcy9SLTM2Mjc3/MDktMTQxODMxNTQ3/Ni0zNTk2LmpwZWc.jpeg

And also Big Jim's Back by Big Jim Sullivan - it's a photo of his back. But that seemed too obvious. It must have been posted already.
Scrolling through all those records I am again struck by how utterly, totally, inconceivably alien the likes of Third World War, Toe Fat, Ancient Grease, the Edgar Broughton Band etc are to my Depeche Mode-trained ears. It's as if the British music industry decided in 1970 that Humble Pie and Spooky Tooth were the future, so they signed up loads of scuzzy British blues-rock bands that sounded like Slade - but slower and without the catchy melodies - and then realised a year later that it was a bad idea and dropped them all.
Meanwhile the public rejected them, they were erased from the collective public memory by pub rock, and they never ever had a revival anywhere on Earth ever.

I've always felt the first two Wire albums had brazenly literal covers. The first is simply a flagpole with a Pink Flag, and the second a table with Chairs Missing.
I find both covers charmingly artful and humourous rather than yawnsome, however. I actually laughed out loud the last time I pulled out Chairs Missing.

Just last night I saw an episode of The Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club which featured Roger Whittaker (and his 'eye-catching' backing band, Saffron), which was followed by an episode of Budgie which featured Roger Whittaker's version (complete with whistling) of Two Little Boys. Now this. What's going on here?
