Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 As a music fan and an architecture student who gets to work in paint, I love album covers. I was just a having a long conversation (with myself) about how absurd it is to me that U2's album covers nearly all have the same black white and grey color palette, with touches of other colors thrown in on occasion (most of them being portrait or landscape photos on top of that). Then I looked at my Queen poster with all of their album covers and couldn't help but admire the vitality and variety of colors and images on display. What are some of your favorite album covers? Please post images! Here are a few of mine: I have plenty more, but I'll post them later 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yes yes yes and let's not forget: I love the album but I've never been the biggest fan of the artwork. Really? I love it! I get it's pretty simple, but seeing as Priest were practically the first band to embrace the term "metal" and this is the album where they did that, it's just so fitting to me. Also hey, it's iconic, and he's holding a giant razor blade with a sick logo cut into it! To each their own though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own though.I got the album in 1980 just after it was released, on vinyl, and I've always felt the same way. Great, amazing album, only ok cover. I like the back better! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
