he's had much worse

Sadly true

this album is better than i'd expected but the cover art looks like it was made on a 2008-era iphone app

unfortunate letter-spacing

beck cover is nice enough

Some of these covers are amazing!

Is that wizard on a motorcycle a new cover? Cos a band in Atlanta called Chopper did that idea for a single years ago.

reminds me of the roy harper album from last year

Hate the Beck cover- looks like a magazine ad as most covers from the past couple of years have.

on a serious note, I like this one:

Already have the original (itself with a sleeve image I'm really fond of), but I'm tempted by this on vinyl.

Legowelt's Teen Romance 12" on LIES- I forgot to post this on the 2013 thread; still creepy as hell

Language of Faint Theory by The Hazey Janes.

Isn't that Hardware cover just the film poster?

One of them, yeah- on comparison it looks they did some minor touch-ups (flames in both eye sockets instead of a red laser dot in one, removed the cityscape background, degraded the image a little). I just thought it was a fun reference/appropriation/whatever.

...and here I was going to mention that seeing a track titled "3Jane" on the upcoming EMA album had me wishing for a late 80's/early 90's cyberpunk revival, only now it looks like the track's been retitled "Neuromancer." Subtle!

noteworthy board spamming of 2014

sorry

xxp Looks kind of Acid Mothers Temply.

That Foxes cover. I don't like it. Apparently contrived head-and-shoulders shots of artists staring off-camera and expressing vague emotions annoy me. See also that one St. Vincent cover.

What is the Mø record all about? The cover is surely a tribute to AR & Machines, right?

otm. tired of these covers. see also close up of someone's face with colored paint splattered all over.

If you don't want to take a photo for your album cover, you should make some art for it instead.

It looks like Morrissey is teaching a dog that world peace is none of its business. Which I guess is true, but I still don't get it?

What is Moz holding in front of that dog? It looks like a solidified turd.
