I haven't listened to an ADULT. album since who knows when, but glad they're one of the electroclash survivors.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Monday, 28 February 2022 18:34 (three years ago)

That must be what being an electroclash survivor looks like, then

That Brandon Coleman one is dope, disappointed there doesn't seem to be a physical version in any format to go with it.

This thread has been very neglected - trying to throw up some of my favs... I could easily toss in a good half dozen more. But happy to bump it.

Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 14 July 2022 19:52 (three years ago)

normally this is one of my fave threads of any year.
however, the 2022 thread is a lot quieter than normal.
and if i am honest,
there aren't that many covers that have been added that make me go 'yeah .. thats a good'un'.
lots of covers that invoke 'yeah, that's ok .. '.
but that's about it.

also, i love the whole kompakt thing, but that perel cover is truly dreadful ..

mark e, Thursday, 14 July 2022 19:53 (three years ago)

yeah maybe 2022 is not a great year for album covers

check out this cursed aesthetic though:

Perfume Genius - Ugly Season

lots of covers that invoke 'yeah, that's ok .. '.
but that's about it.

Yeah feeling similarly so far this year. I haven't run across much of anything too iconic. The Perfume Genius one above might be my favorite so far this year, however.

I think the Rosalía is my favorite so far this year. The first two in the thread and the Steve Tibbetts are very good too (and Jon Daly if I'm honest).

Nabozo, Monday, 18 July 2022 08:54 (three years ago)

love most these albums above haha
think my person fav artwork has been grotto by wilma vritra
i just love cute ghost trains i guess

someone should use one of the ai-generated covers from the craiyon thread, specifically the terrible 70s album cover pic

I'd like it better without the text, but that cover makes me want to listen to Alicia Keys.

The Comet is Coming - Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam

octobeard, Wednesday, 19 October 2022 22:14 (two years ago)

I think the cover of the Alvvays album is great. (Just learned that it’s a childhood photo of the singer and her parents)

Reese's Pisces Iscariot (morrisp), Wednesday, 19 October 2022 22:33 (two years ago)

I love it too, the color combo is fantastic
