Yeuch, don't remind me

Yeah, My Aim Is True's the more iconic one. It's a close second with me. The North cover just reflects a kind of downbeat melancholy probably better than any other cover I've ever seen. Shame the album itself is so boring though.

I done a thread very similar to this a week ago and it got removed because there is meant to be already countless threads like this, or so I was told. Now this gets to stay?

...okay rant over, I'll participate and stop complaining.

Tool - Lateralus GOOD
The see-thru booklet dissects the body of this man, it's very cool. Because it is Tool the art goes hand and hand with the music too.


My Chemical Romance - I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love BAD
Just always hated this cluttered mess of an album cover, right down to the overly long title.

Alex Grey deserves his own thread.

^I love Brian Gibson art. The album covers fit the music perfectly; controlled chaos.

Torche, the album is their self titled album. There's two album covers for that album but the other isn't as cool.

I always liked this one. Dirt's still my favorite music wise though.

Nice work with Lateralus... I tried posting Tool covers but everyone just snubbed them and called them pretentious. But Alex Grey is seriously amazing.

My Chemical Romance though? Ewww...
