Did... did I win?

The fonts, the lines, the dress covering his bloated body. It's all so perfect.

Spoiler

In all seriousness, I always thought this one was charming.

Funny how all it takes is one post to reignite a thread that was dormant for four years.

Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising (not CGI btw)

 

[Vincent Kars]

Blind Faith, probably today even more controversial as in 1969

Someone can explain to me who would consider yet another "lead artist/interpreter possibly with his instrument in a mundane situation" a great cover? Anyway, something more objective, interesting and rare is when the cover really matches the content (sonically, not lyrically, that's too easy). Some examples:

Enslaved - (1994) Frost
Indeed their most icy and minimalist album.

Atrocity - (1990) Hallucinations
Dark and psychedelic. One has to listen to it a few times to get how good the cover is.

Crowbar - (1991) Obedience thru Suffering
As crushing as the rough painting and what it depicts imply.

Well, it's a bit easy for extreme metal, since the style is so visceral by nature.

One of my favourite albums from last year...

Vanum - Ageless Fire

Supertramp: "Crisis? What Crisis?" (1976)

 

[Ron Party]

I played the heck out of Crisis when it came out. That and Crime, of course. Saw them in concert back in 78 at the Forum in Inglewood... absolutely fantastic.
