Guest Helper ET Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 in my childhood years, i was so deep in it, yet completely unaware of it. as i grew older i became keen to the idea but didnt really care, and i kind of liked it. now, i wondering what the fuck is up with that! i cant even give you a single example because its just so true to almost all albums the artworks colors, tones, and shapes seep into your imagination as you listen to the music and it all sounds like the way it looks. ya know? right now im listening to an album in which ive never seen the artwork for, and that is a another whole issue. also the issue of music, that hasnt been released with attached artwork, or released at all music like that, often has certain colors and shapes too though, and it seems like some artists dont tune into that, and make artwork that isnt what the music sounds like, or clashes with the music. i dont like this, as the aforementioned opinions above state clearly, the artwork will indefinitely influence the way the music unfolds *throws down capsule and disappears in cloud of smoke* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cult fiction Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I remember listening to Hell Hath No Fury for the first time, and imagining the cover to be like a picture of chrome, or snow, or cocaine... something pure and timeless and cool as fuck like the album.

jeremymacgregor87 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 For the most part I agree.. But then I had a look at the art for this little beauty: For the most part the artwork of albums in my collection fit perfectly. Eg. Cocteau Twins, Ae, Tool, etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I find the more abstract the cover is, the more likely this is to be true. So, something like this- Definitely. But something like this- Not so much. Of course, there are exceptions where a straightforward cover does convey the feel of an album well for me.

o00o Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I know what you are talking about sadly not many people care about that and just use something people might expect from the genre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
