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

(Evelyn Thomas and Terry Knight refractions, actually)

keep em coming, just an entire thread of these would be amazing

Haha, thanks, so tired of reflections. Will leave follow-through to others w/more stamina. Subgenre also not represented: Image of the band but the writing is reflected.

lolling

the four corners are basically all the same emotion, and the bottom middle isn't really an emotion, it's just "looking away from camera"

Ha, I'd never considered that before.

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.

ha. scrolling through i thought for half a second that it was a band called full circle with all kinds of inexplicable album titles.

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."

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.

oh yeah, I forgot

(band name and album title)

Full Oi'rcle

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:

really happy they switched back to the original cover for at least the vinyl reissue. the one with the purple top and the ice hands shaking in the sky is amazing

the "full circle" album covers are killing it upthread

ahaha i had forgotten those... I was all ready to type "Rupert Holmes ftw" but discovered I already had, yikes. staggerlee's "reflections" series is also wonderful.

note to self: do not title an album, should i ever make one, "full circle"

That'd be funnier if it was an album called "John Lee Hooker" by a band called The Cream.
