ITT: Best album covers.
Doesn't matter what genre, just cool, interesting CD covers.
>>701865792
I absolutely love hand painted covers from classic metal bands, they're gorgeous.
>>701866443
Agreed.
>>701866204
sleep! yes! that shit is fucking awesome
>>701865792
I have this on a T-shirt and it is fucking fly
>>701865792
>>701866204
WTF! This has been my background for the last couple months...and this pic is backwards.
>>701865792
FBD O.G. cover
>>701868265
>backwards
holy shit you're right.. never noticed that
>>701865792
I like this one...
>>701870137
And people freaked out over the first RATM cover. Jesus fuck
>>701869944
>>701866443
The detail on that one is incredible. Every time I look at it, I see something new.
>>701866928
This is their best album cover with South of Heaven as a close second. JMO.
>>701868299
I heard that was Dimebag's idea to use this as the cover.
>>701866443
>>701865792
ME company makes the best covers IMO
>>701865792
>>701872404
>>701872361
My favorite black metal band is Living Colour.
>>701872585
>black
>metal
Choose one
>>701872706
What?
>>701872706
Like a fucking airplane...
not really epic or badass or even "orginial" but i just found this one fun and simple
I love the style of all teir cover
Cheezy af but gold
>>701873726
MODS!
Art
>>701873153
Looks like HR Giger the guy that worked for aliens
>>701874263
MODS!
>>701873726
I'm actually surprised that wasn't more controversial. Kiddie porn and pedophilia were in the media enough by the early 90s that I'm surprised there wasn't a lot of public outrage over it.
>>701874381
I would say it
>>701872330
Die, Tiny Tim.
>>701865792
this by far, best ever
>>701874643
It does look like him.
>>701872585
They're more of a rock band imho.
Just an cover. And i like this times
>>701874544
maybe because "is just a baby who swim" not somehting like an old asshole who fuck a poor young little preteen
>>701874691
>>701874699
Apparently, it was him, and whoever designed the cover super imposed the hand holding the gun afterwards.
sup boys
>>701874263
I love scorpions covers
>>701874801
Yea, I get that, but the public have gotten outraged and gone full retard over much less.
>>701875092
Sup faggot
Who doesnt love some dio
>>701873087
Agreed
>>701874544
this on is HR Giger he did some dead kids and dicks like this if i remember corectly
>>701874263
This is a real album cover? You have got to be kidding me?
>>701875092
Mastodon is the fucking tits.
Anyone have the full artwork for Once more around the sun?
>>701875114
maybe people of art take it like: "huh you don't understand the reality behind all this, is like, huh, a critic about the world and his economy, like, we don't control anything like a baby in the water but all you see is the money, and the hook is the society who try to guide us more and more further to get it" or i don't know, really
>>701875462
The Dead Kennedys got arrested and put on trial over using it as the Frankenchrist album cover. That was actually part of their defense. H.R. Geiger's art was readily accessible to anyone including children at fine art galleries, and in art books at the library, yet it somehow became obscenity being peddled to children, once someone put it on a punk rock album.
>>701875592
The funny thing is the picture they choose to replace it with, such awkward poses kek
>>701875592
Yup. Real cover. They changed it later on, though.
>>701875941
I listened to the as a kid but I didn't know that, thanks bruh
>>701874666
Hello satan.
>>701874263
13-14 year old "tits" perfectly acceptable in the 80's, what a time to be alive it was
>>701876048
>Germans trying to look British
>>701876358
It's from 1976, actually.
>>701876358
she's 10 idiot, learn to wikipedia
>>701876330
Thats their worst album...and its still pretty good!
>>701871982
Fucking gold
>>701876295
Np. Tipper Gore was the one behind the whole thing too. Jello actually went on Oprah to debate her on censorship, and Oprah pretty much let Tipper talk as much as she wanted, but kept interrupting Jello.
>>701866204
was gonna post that myself. The music pretty much narrates whats happening on that image.
This ones pretty dope, its satan hitting the bong, whats not to like?
1/2
2/2
>>701876330
>>701876525
I only recently discovered them. Pretty fucking impressive to be honest. The best 80s metal in over 25 years
>>701876881
Meh.
>>701876924
From 1991. But glad you like it.
>>701877024
>>701877122
Okay, this one?
>>701877090
lol I meant Toxic Holocaust, not Sepultura.
>>701876662
Art is dead... Taboos are misplaced... People are dumb... I'm not a robot...
>>701877262
>>701872585
kek'd
>>701865792
So Fucking Awesome.
>>701865792
>>701876846
i wonder which one of the band members came up with the idea to mix blood and jizz and use it as the cover
>>701877329
Oops. My bad.
I like them too, btw.
>>701877335
Better.
>>701877470
Probably Lars. He's into all that artsy fartsy stuff. The image itself is by an artist named Anders Serrano, and it's entitled Blood and Semen.
>>701877478
i fucking love them
>>701872404
even if you hate this kind of metal, you have to admit how incredible this art is
>>701877761
would've called it inner fire...
>>701877912
Ten bucks says that this is where Judas Priest got the idea for their Painkiller album cover...
![474[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/tNLAqMV.jpg "474[1].jpg")
>>701877999
Fuck how hasn't this been posted yet
Art II
Great fucking album anyway....
>>701878043
Inner fire? Why?
>>701877534
No prob. I didn't think about what I was posting. I can see how it could be confusing.
>>701868299
I had that cd with that cover, ended up selling on ebay like a fucking idiot though
I bought it at the record convention in Austin that they used to have during spring break
>>701876358
Agree. Another cover. Blind faith. Older girl.
Never listened to metal but I've allways loved the art cover style...
Check verotik comics (if the still exist) you might like some of them
>>701865792
those kind of covers is like you tell a kid to draw the most badass shit he can do... a winged robot-muscular-skeleton riding a dragon-bike with circular saws on the wheels on a postapocalyptic scenario... you can love the music or the band, but you CANT deny the cover is kinda cringeworth man.
>>701878071
Fuck I never noticed.
makes the point
>>701878171
Looks like fire, it's kinda hot when you jizz and blood and sperm are in me... dunno... It's too obvious I like riddles !
>>701878490
Sure the cover always looked pretty cheesey. But no, I know from experience from seeing this cover a long time that this cover is great to look at.
>>701878490
Precisely!
That's what makes them awesome in my eyes !
>>701876084
cool album
>>701865792
1 out of 2
>>701865792
2 out of 2
>>701878171
Cuz only non-autists would get it.
>>701878267
That's okay, bro.
>>701878490
Judas priest has alot of covers better than that. Look to stained class, screaming for vegeance, turbo lover and defenders of faith. Such a piece of art
The cover really matches the sound as well.
>>701878321
That's Ginger Baker's daughter, apparently.
>>701879046
I think Peace Sells was a better cover. I agree about Rust though.
fits the theme of the album really well
>>701879205
Art
>>701878555
It always looked that way to me.
Also, nice trips.
>>701877470
Ew what the frouck. I didnt know it was actually jizz and blood? Whoa isnt Metallica supposed to release PG album covers? That is RATED X right there. That is really Lewd of them...And Reload had piss and blood too. EW WHAT THE FUCK? And it is just so awkward that the album also got shit reviews too....ew what the fuck?
Can't believe no edgelord has posted this yet. Your slipping /b/.
>>701879205
SFV and DOTF are my two favorite Priest album covers.
>>701879457
cause its a shit album
>>701879308
Yeah,couldn't decide so I chose the first one I saw
>>701879614
Too obvious, my man.
>>701879614
Well we were waiting for you dear lord
>>701879614
I prefer porn covers than violence. Even the two things sound good
>>701879672
I know I mean release a absolutely uncalled for graphic album cover (in a sense) ...like for a good album at least. The whole thing just ended up seeming like an awkward, embarrassing piece of shit,,,that lasted for two albums
>>701879803
Ok. Now where are the spelling Nazis at today? I should have a new asshole by now, for typing 'your' instead of 'you're.'
>>701879227
>>701880245
So nice, had to be posted twice.
>>701870061
That's the cover to the Motley Crue debut album, just with the text replaced
>>701879985
here we are, your new assholes !
>>701870061
hey poser
i think the cover really fits with the album
>>701879227
>>701880245
Look at these guys posting Ride The Lightning to play off the awkward piece of shit that was LOAD. Which had fucking JIZZ on the cover! What the fuck!
>>701880715
I will admit that Load was pretty shit. So was reload. RTL was my personal favorite.
>>701866443
Maiden had alot of good album covers.
>>701880439
Yea...
Fuck yea! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVIfqsBokyE
You know, that was the closest thing to a serious album that Anal Cunt released.
>>701880715
The bloody jizz was obviously from the guy whom the song Ride the Lightning is about. You lose control of bodily functions when you are electrocuted.
>>701876924
Agreed.
>Fuck you, i liked it.
Basque music
>>701881258
And a few bad ones as well.
>>701881555
Trips to go with that dubs sandwich.
>>701881475
Do you like American Psycho, Al?
>>701882196
>it was a pretty shit album too
>>701882075
This cover it literally the only thing I know about Basque culture--aside from the bombings that they are polite enough to warn people about beforehand, lest anyone get hurt due to being unaware--but it's seems pretty kick-ass.
>>701882489
All of my this.
>>701882489
No Prayer for the Dying is both their worst album and their worst cover art imho.
>>701882646
Bombings stopped years ago
>>701882452
This is probably where the guys in Cradle of Filth got the idea to put naked chicks on their album covers and T-shirts.
>>701882452
my negor
witchfinder general is sick
>>701865792
Quite like this one
>>701884551
Yeah. That one is pretty cool.
>>701868993
nothing interesting about a bunch of lines
>>701872108
This one's fantastic!
>>701873020
This one's always been a favorite of mine
>>701877999
>>701882716
Sick
>>701875063
This guy knows,
>>701885302
Ever heard the Cornbugs? If you like Buckethead (or Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2/Choptop) you'd probably like them.
>>701885885
good to know, ty

>>701886350
>>701886226
Grunge music had amazing album covers
>>701886415
Now that looks killer. Love how the artist made the colours jump out at ya.
>>701886894
>>701887068
Wish they didn't change the cover. This is boss. The other one was not.
>>701879336
Thats my shit right thur!!! Hail mary mallon bro
>>701887068
pretty good album too. I had the fold out poster of that one on my wall in school.
>>701875606
Best i could do off google.
Good album too
Every baroness album. Seriously some beautiful shit
>>701886910
I've been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to guess who this is without reverse image searching
>>701887330
Um, they didn't. Did they?
>>701883563
Dumb question. Is this the White Album I'm always hearing about?
>>701887911
Hint. OK Computer.
