1981 seems decidedly late to the party for yawnsomely literal album covers, but there you have it.
It's 2021 and Zara Larsson Poster Girl wants the party to carry on.

I don't understand why they didn't call their record "Reaching for Gulls." I do respect the pixelated font though

I love that, aside from the band logo, Kim Hiorthøy did the layout as one of his Rune Grammofon covers. Same typeface and all.

it also positions itself quite awesomely literally as a follow-up to MJ’s Off the Wall...https://media.s-bol.com/k2xPMDGL7Z4N/550x554.jpg...which is a prime example of the thread premise itself (and may or may not have been posted here before)
