In fact, I think almost all songs have a certain "color" that they evoke, but that's a separate topic.

'Unknown Pleasures' is locked into that image for me.

S: Jane's Addiction: Nothing's Shocking
[Speaking of Jane's] Which mood is invoked when an album has two (or more) covers. (See also Split Enz wrt same cover, different colors.)

The Second Coming sleeve looks does it more than the first Roses album I think.

The Gorky's Zygotic Mynci albums always remind me of different seasons or months in the year and I've come to realise it's because of the colours of their albums more than anything else.
As for Boards of Canada, who have always put a great emphasis on colour in both their music and general asthetic, genuinely shocked me when they released Geogaddi with a *gasp* RED COVER!! And while there is only a minor technical difference between this and "Music Has The Right To Children", there is a distinct mood swing between the two albums. "MHTRTC" is cool, sunny, childlike whereas Geogaddi is claustrophobic, hot and threatening.

Sure, except that when I turn out the lights my burger doesn't suddenly gain listening fatigue-causing high end distortion and lose clarity.
