Good,bad,andrush Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't really know how to phrase this question but I frickin love album covers and i think they really affect the atmosphere of the music. So which rush album cover do you think best represents the music? For me it's hemispheres, moving pictures, Signals, P/G, and hold your fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. If they were in any particular order 2112 would probably be last on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hemispheres, the cover is literally what the first song symbolizes. Also, since La Villa is an instrumental, that's all up to interpretation if a person hears another version of Hemisphere's story. Personally I think it fits because when I hear the main riff, I always picture a series of bizarre events on a sky blue background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it fits because when I hear the main riff, I always picture a series of bizarre events on a sky blue background. Same, and I feel circumstances fits, especially the bridge. The trees is the forest that seems like it could be int the title track too. The most otherworldly perfect album cover for me would be the VDGG ones. I love Pawn Hearts and the very first one: Aerosol grey machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 "Presto". The gray overcast skies and November release fit the feel of the songs on Presto. Cold ocean winds on "Grace Under Pressure" also fit the feel of that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you have the Buddha in the center, you might be tempted to think that it's Neil's way of saying that the views expressed in the album are his "enlightened" way of thinking.

Ancient Ways Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 VT cover looks like it would be really noisy if you could hear that fireball cracking, hissing, and popping. I choose VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 If you talk about a-sides only, it's obviously 2112 and Hemispheres. But if were talking whole album, I'd go with Grace Under Pressure. The overall sound is depressing and dystopian and so is the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scars Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Vapor Trails--the music itself is raw and distorted, the picture (which I read was meant just to be a rough draft) characterizes the same elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
