The only one I can say I like is Maybe I'll Catch Fire. Beautiful warm colors.

As for the rest, they're rather ordinary. I really don't see what's to like about Paper Canyon. Personally, I would rate it as a bad album cover.

Thought that was too much of a coincidence, but the artwork does nothing for me.

AleG 06-27-2010 02:14 PM

I got the album recently, and like the cover enough to post it here...

"Weird", is all I have to say about it.

Same goes for James' list. Firstly, what's the chick putting in her ear in the last album cover?
The middle one's not bad though. Looks a bit psychedelic.

Quite like this one.

I don't hate all over the top albums. Just a general rule, I usually dislike them if there's too much going on. Quite like that one though.

My favorite Zep album cover is the second one, but honestly, none of them are very good IMO

My favorite album cover is probably the Chickenfoot album.

When it's cold its totally black with their logo and name on.
When you warm it up, then pictures appears.


Really amazing idea to an album cover!

I find David Sylvian's usually consistent when it comes to immense album covers.

There's something about this one that I like.

The Fascinating Turnip 07-09-2010 11:02 AM


It's interesting because, depending on how I look at it, I love and feel lukewarm about this cover.


Edit: The fact that it seems like there are a billion versions of this (colours) is also intriguing.
