I know I'm in an ever dwindling minority, but as I said earlier I still mess with AYWKUBTTOD, partially because how ridiculously OTT they are - in artwork, arrangements, even live. I saw them play like a 12:30 PM set at Lollapalooza the first year of its Chicago residency, and they played like they were in a dank club at two in the morning. Tore the shit out of their instruments (literally, towards the end of the set), spent half the time in the crowd (no small feat with the way the stage was set-up), and seemed to not give a fuck that they had a small crowd and a shitty time slot.

I think that "Tao of the Dead" album looks pretty awesome, like a poster for a steampunk cartoon or comic book. (Possibly the reason I like it is that I've nothing against steampunk fiction, and I don't quite get why many ILXors seem to hate it.) Much better than the sort of album covers with a mundane, faded 1970s polaroid and an IKEA-friendly font, which seem to get a lot of praise in these threads.

― dolphins cavorting in a cathedral (staggerlee), Monday, 31 January 2011 04:42 (fifteen years ago)
Also, why does it say "Horses" when there clearly only one single horse? I mean, everything else is on the nose obvious, so that seems like a major fuck up.

I think those are rocks. But I did just notice one in the vegetation.

Several horses in the vegetation (well, two, possibly more) and one in the sea foam.

Is the album cover better or worse now that's been discovered to be a game of "find the horses"?
― Hipster Thermador (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 31 January 2011 08:33 (fifteen years ago)

Ha, my previous post was meant to be joke, I hadn't noticed there actually are hidden horses in the pic.
― Tuomas, Monday, 31 January 2011 08:34 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, that kind of resembles yet ANOTHER horse.
Playing "find the horses" at least makes it remarkable, but I still don't know that it's very good.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 31 January 2011 08:35 (fifteen years ago)
I really like that cover picture. Reminds me of young adult fiction books for horse fan girls. And I love how there's a horse for each element in the pic: plant horse, water horse, air horse... Though it should have a sand horse too to make it complete. (Unless the real horse walking in the sand counts as "sand horse"?)
― Tuomas, Monday, 31 January 2011 08:40 (fifteen years ago)

Oh wow, I'm not sure if that's actually better or horribly worse than the picture they ended up using for ATWIAD.
― Tuomas, Monday, 31 January 2011 09:57 (fifteen years ago)
Also, the actual album cover has pretty much all the same elements as Warren's version (which makes sense, since they images are based on the song titles and lyrics), but the bearded man hugging a tiger is missing. I wonder what happened with that?

This always bugs me too. It happens a lot in cases where a physical cd will be released in non-jewel case packaging, making the art not squared, and then having to dig around in the depths of the internet to find a scan of the vinyl sleeve (if it was fortunate enough to be released on vinyl) just so I can have a square image to put in my iPod or upload to last.fm or whathaveyou.

― Radical Adults Lick Based God Style (kelpolaris), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 21:37 (fifteen years ago)
man, the computer thing...ugh. DIY covers used to look charmingly shitty in the olden days. something about CDs or something. don't know what it is. i see hundreds of local self-released CDs every year and they are pretty much ALL terrible. and a lot of actual label releases have that same problem. they look like random flickr account pictures and terrible software lettering/fonts.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 21:37 (fifteen years ago)
what is it about the lettering? it kills half the current album covers i see. there are some good type choices here, but in general...
― scott seward, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 21:39 (fifteen years ago)
really the only trend i can pick up is that the less attention drawn towards lettering, the more i end up liking the actual cover. if lettering is ever to take prominence, it should be sequestered away like here:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UMoebAEAL._SL500_AA280_.jpgor herehttp://www.ninebullets.net/wp-images/2009/PrettyHateMachine.jpg

I think this one is pretty cool.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 08:20 (fifteen years ago)
I'm with Kelpolaris on the lettering thing; usually I feel that the less text there is on the cover, the better it looks. And the text should never be just on top of the pic, as it tends to mess up the picture. It looks much better when text is in its own box. The exception to this rule are the covers where the text is aesthetically integrated to the picture (like in the Super Paolo pic above), which can look nice. And of course there are some cool covers where the text is the picture, like with Daft Punk albums.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 08:29 (fifteen years ago)
unless Photoshop 3 filter presets are now cool as kitsch, that cover is just really offensive
― rockapads, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 16:01 (fifteen years ago)
I'm pretty sure 99% of the people who buy records don't know about Photoshop 3 filter presets, nor do they judge a cover based on whether or not they are used in it.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 16:20 (fifteen years ago)
I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the "99%" - especially in Super Paolo's case. Anyway, the Photoshop filter presets as graphic design kitsch was me being generous toward the designer of that cover. If it's not intentional it's just very poorly done.
― rockapads, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 16:41 (fifteen years ago)
I don't know from Photoshop, but that cover kinda sucks. Looks like a homemade cassingle from 1989

Yeah, before seeing the actual product I really dug the horsevag cover. I mean it's stupid but v memorable... this thread'll continue on into next year and I'll prolly only retain about 6 or so as really ingraining themselves upon my mind.

As far as "new records by people who've been making records for close to 40 years" go, that's actually not as c0rny as it could've been. Generally, people who peaked in the 70s and 80s do not understand the photoshops, though.

that art museums album is v. nice! agree with the strange familiarity -- kind of a "miami vice" interpretation of abstract/pop art? not sure how to describe it, but they nailed a very specific aesthetic there.

Art Museums reminds me of Tusk, for some reason. Obviously it's like a lot of '80s covers as well.

Sahara Hotnights are actually a Swedish all-girl group who came around the same time as The Hives and used to sound a lot like The Runaways, but are totally refined and excellent now.

I agree with these things re: Sahara Hotnights. I really miss painted cover art. Everything now is just splatters and doodles OR created to look like paintings in Illustrator and Photoshop. I probably won't buy it on vinyl because I don't have a turntable, but I really hope the LP release is gatefold and on heavy stock.

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 12 May 2011 03:39 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, that one doesn't beat the Alex Moulton cover by Boris Vallejo, even though it's okay.
One particular thing that makes this "Justice of the Unicorns" cover inferior is that the eagleman has a weird lower body! Based on the upper body you'd expect him to have human legs too, but then they should be shown in the picture, and they aren't. Of course he could have eagle legs instead, but even those should be visible in the pic! Unless Vallejo got some kind of an unexpected biological insight, and realized that even a mutant eagleman should be a tetrapod, and therefore the "legs" are actually his hands (while the wings are his "true" hands). But that would be kinda weird too! It looks more like he just didn't bother to figure out the lower body, so he just decided to cover it with an "artistic" blur.

Debut LP from this French electro producer; features appearances by M.I.A., Justice’s Gaspard Augé, and Mayer Hawthorne. Yes, that album cover above is indeed an image of SebastiAn kissing himself.

The thumbs down cover is a comp of the complete recordings of black metal band Vondur called No Compromise. I have no clue about the music, but the cover is, uh, notable. Kinda want to hear it because they cover Elvis, Judas Priest and Motley Crue. Who doesn't want to hear "Love Me Tender" and "Red Hot" in fine mid-90s black metal style?

Cosign! Its Foetusishness is if anything strengthened by the Winner's Circle one, in a way I can't quite explain.
Mock-Arabic fonts/writing really bugs me (as does mock-Cyrillic, etc), so dnwts the Shabazz, nor Black Lips who are also doing this.

When I saw a small pic of this album cover online, I thought it was awful (looks like her face is covered with alien jizz or something), but when I got the album and looked at it closer, I kinda started liking it... As far as I can tell it's not a Photoshop effect, but a forest(?) picture superimposed on her head.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 10:38 (fourteen years ago)
Too bad the actual album cover adds her name to the pic, thus making it a bit less cool:
http://www.israbox.com/uploads/posts/2011-06/1306957071_cover.jpg
Basically I don't think album covers should have any text at all, unless the text is in some way integrated to the picture, or if the cover has nothing but text. There are many cased where a cool image is tainted by the name of the band and the album.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 10:41 (fourteen years ago)
I like that typeface, though. Very 40s/50s.
― Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 10:44 (fourteen years ago)
I dunno, it just looks too stark compared to the organic feel of the pic.

i wonder why the C, N and L are all thicker than the other characters. and this the S is a bit of a cop-out. could've just used a 5x5 font and not needed the non-standard slots in the S
