I've always had a soft spot for this one

Arena - Contagion

The vinyl of this one matches the cover theme!  I love it when that happens.


This cover was so iconic to me growing up.  So hood.

Ditto.........all time fave for me too, as is Gutter Ballet.  Unfortunately the shirt the band sell with this on it is awful (low res) quality.

So another couple of my favourites.

Couple obvious ones.

  :lol


PAINFULLY underrated french prog rock/folk

And,not really trying to plug or anything (I promise) but my album "Tired Of Me" has the fucking best album cover of the year,done by my good friend Christiana.

(If you wanna listen it's on bandcamp,spotify,itunes and pretty much every where. If you like lo-fi indie with emo/shoegaze influences you might enjoy it. FUCK I just plugged it. Sorry.)

going back to my youth...

one of the cool things about this album cover on the vinyl version is the exploding pieces of the orb are raised giving it a bit of 3D feel.

Some of these covers do absolutely nothing for me.

My faves, in sorta order:

1. Grace Under Pressure (go figure, it's my least favorite Rush album)
2. Tales From Topographic Oceans (Drama a close second)
3. Powerslave
4. Rock And Roll Over (Dressed To Kill a close second)
5. Rising
6. Killing Machine (Hell Bent For Leather for our US friends)

I never noticed the "In Rainbows" cover like that.  Pretty cool.

The upcoming Dear Hunter album has a really cool cover:



As does their previous, Migrant:




And then the covers for Coheed and Cambria's Afterman Ascension and Descension:

Yellow & Green. I mean it's so gorgeous and serene.


Set the Dial. This album's a rager and that cover is skronky and beautiful.


Geidi Primes. Adorbs ablum. Skronky cover.


Metal as fuck.


One of the best ever.


Just holy shit.

I could post many more but I'll stop there.

My literal first thought.

"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are God. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are God.” — Christopher Hitchens

Pretty much every Radiohead, Steven Wilson, and Opeth album has an awesome cover
