SO I HEARD YOU KIDS LIKE THEM JAPANESE ANIMES

bowie deserved to die for this cover, i am glad he did.

this made my day

...

...

...

last two sun kil moon records, what the fuck was mark thinking, oh look I just took these pictures with my phone, better choose the shitiest so I can fuck the people with synhestesia and to associate a shitty cover with my music

Nothing wrong with this

...

...

...

This is like a proto-Pen & Pixel cover.

...

This is a real album. It's on Amazon streaming.

...

this applies to almost every album cover from the last 35 years of bowie's career

Eh, Heathen is pretty good

fuck you this is good

this does not suit a VS album, even this one

...

I think it suits the album personally

...

Still one of my favorites

...

I can handle Reality. This one on the other hand...........

never thought i would see a lift to experience reference on mu

Here is the improved cover,idk why he's so pissed in this one :^)

It was cool in 2002 dude. you had to be there, then

jej, you're right

I have no idea how Pen n Pixel stays in business when their design style is so fucking awful and gaudy.

It's more that all of Venetian Snares' other album covers suck

How did anyone think this album cover was a good idea? How??

>not liking the choclate wheelchair album
absolutely haram

Fuck you

I like this one

This one is one of those so-bad-it's-good cases

>I have no idea how Pen n Pixel stays in business when their design style is so fucking awful and gaudy.

Because these people like it

Methinks the "so bad it's good" appeal is how Pen n Pixel is still operating.

okay, all the covers except chocolate wheelchair and songs about my cats suck

songs about my cats has the greatest cover of all time

we're all going to die user

i don't get it, weird cover imo

>Foodfight-tier CG modeling
>violates rule of thirds
>blurry background
lawd

agreed

I like it

...

...

In fact, all of their album art qualifies except Brain Salad Surgery (special shout-out to Trilogy and Tarkus).

Crap cover, great album.

gagreed

Tarkus has a better cover than music

wtf

It's supposed to look like the back cover of a jazz album

I will forever defend this album cover

The Reality cover truly never gets better with age

In the same vein

I unironically love this cover

Obligatory

>i just started studying 20th century graphic design and want to use it all at once

what exactly is happening in this picture?

the cover made sense once i listened to 8-bit tarkus

You mean because it's the only cover in which he isn't depicted?
Minimalism is generally never a bad idea.

I recognized that from this article, which is probably the only good thing Pitchfork has ever made:
pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/6194-the-worst-record-covers-of-all-time/

No, it's just boring

I just noticed the guy chest says mom

It's a comfy setting, and the dog is cute.

Doesn't mean I don't love it, though.

>scroll down
>no Puscifer
come on Sup Forums

the only thing that bothers me about this cover are the nostril guns

It's minor Sup Forumscore

the fact that they have a song called "cuntry boner" makes me feel like i know exactly what they were thinking

why is mike singing with the bee gees

crazy how they were going for "vicious and ferocious gangster" vibes but instead we got snoop dog sitting in a car in a dark alley with three doggos just happy to go for a ride.

DT is like my favorite band, but this album cover is hilariously stupid.

>make your magnum opus
>make it look like a shitty pen n pixel joke tape
pretty fucking ballsy

literally nothing wrong with cover

...

It probably took them 2 minutes to make that in MS paint.

That's amazing.

lmao

that really captures the mid 2000's tween aesthetic tho famalam

this is great though

>people think this is worse than The Astonishing, Black Clouds or A Dramatic Turn of Events

wew lad
WDADU is best DT album anyway

...

Dumb as fuck cover for a bland as fuck album

...

The Next Day is a great cover though.

It's got to be self aware, it's too funny

This cover is great, it fits the album (especially the last song) perfectly

shut the fuck up

holy shit this is fucked

That cover has always been a love hate thing for me. Still love era-1 mortiis

this is good

Yeah, he seems to have a good sense of humor so I wouldn't be surprised.

Album still isn't good though

have you considered that maybe Aaron was being ironical with that album art

>He (David Byrne)’s a genuine eccentric," says Eno. "He’s always been exactly like that, and I’ve seen him remain like that in quite extreme situations. For instance, we were mugged together once in New York. It was quite frightening; we were mugged by 14 people. My enduring memory is of David being dragged off into the bushes, saying ‘Uh-oh!’ That’s absolutely true; it was like a cartoon scene.

minus the "tho famalam" faggotry, he's right

That's the best Dream Theater cover, which is saying something.
Even Hypgnosis couldn't save them

lol 'Were gonna MAKE KID A AND SAVE GUITA MUZIK

He *is* the blackstar though

fun fact: Cuntry Boner was written by Tom Morello when he was a teenager.

>proxy.jpg
if this is a Peter Sotos pedophilia joke I applaud you

>God spelled backwards is dog
uh-oh

ho-hu

But like, Octavarium
