[editline]7th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Doman;34585274]I think that any album art profiling the band is poor..[/QUOTE] That's kind of a dumb opinion imo.
You have the liner notes (or in modern cases, media such as the internet) to establish what the band looks like. The front cover can help define the album. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but a good cover can intrigue me to listen to the album. Three men in black and white doesn't tell me much.
Yeah but you do know King Crimson make badass music right? There's more than just "the cover" to make you listen to it, people talk shitloads about it.
No point going in depth in it here because the end results in us both winning.
true, but there is a humour to why the band decided to change their style and go for the photo of themselves. I think they finally had the confidence to go "this is what we are", it shows in the music.
[sp]Ignoring the fact that the album cover is satire, thus made bad on purpose...[/sp] music > album art [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SFcT-M9OApc/TeRCun9uX-I/AAAAAAAAAKo/0bEhR_FhrGc/s1600/Gwar-Lust-In-Space.jpg[/img] :v:
[img]http://www.betweenthesynapse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/There-goes.jpg[/img] great music but one of the worst album covers of all time this one too [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XGXe9wNfKC4/TP0ECMjanaI/AAAAAAAAAXU/eATRdGCp3r4/s1600/LedZepIIICvr.jpg[/img]
Even though the music is really explosive and insane electroclash, this cover is just bizarre to look at while hearing the music. [img]http://sleevage.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/mia_kala.jpg[/img] I dunno maybe it perfectly fits, but that's just me.

I kind of like that, for some reason. [editline]19th February 2012[/editline] kind of
Everything MIA pumps out is delicious + her album art is awesome. It's a win win.
