I was repping for the Extra Life album on here yesterday I think - I am super impressed by it on first play and the vox didn't strike me as objectively more offputting than other dealbreakers of our time (Antony/Newsom/Dirty Projectors guy etc) who enough people think sound great

I've never heard them actually, and don't know how many albums they have. I just like the cover. If I had to guess, though, I agree that it's probably an "M" that was manipulated for effect.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 17 June 2010 12:24 (fifteen years ago)
I should note that when I saw a physical copy of that Mossa album the cover looked different, better looking I might add, but I guess they re-did it because there were semi-visible lady parts on it (I'm guessing this image was for done for safe for work online purposes?)

Underworld looks awfully busy in a 1998 way. Scissor Sisters is fucking awful.
I like the Robyn, though.

That Scissor Sister cover is shit, and so is the crumpled up paper one below it. Robyn is okay but not great.

This cover is so amazing it actually made me check out the album:
...which I am beginning, about 45 seconds in, to think was a *real* mistake.

That's an awful cover!
― ilxor has truly been got at and become an ILXor (ilxor), Friday, 10 September 2010 13:25 (fifteen years ago)
It's a beautiful cover! The colours! The way the sky... bends like that. It's awesome!
However, I expected the music within to sound like that Justin Beiber slowed down 8000 times track, but instead it's just annoyingly over the top art rock indie prog of the sort that L-Jagz would insist WAS THE BEST! THING! EVER! for about two weeks before admitting sheepishly "actually, that was kinda sub-Rundergren wank, to be honest."
― cymose corymb (Karen D. Tregaskin), Friday, 10 September 2010 13:28 (fifteen years ago)
The No Age album sleeve has these two fold-out booklety things w/ collage artwork and really looks pretty excellent - it's also pretty delicate and will probably get ruined if the album has any sort of replay value for you (ripping to iPods etc notwithstanding)

The Scissor Sisters cover is a classic photograph - it's Mapplethorpe, fer cryin' out loud! And it works perfectly with the album.
Add to that a perfectly tacky 80s-style hand drawn album title and the best band logo in pop, and it's a winner through and through.
