I have no idea how people could ever do that. It's like buying a record based on what the cover looks like. It doesn't make any sense.

When I'm hearing an artist for the first time, I don't care what they look like (and most of the time I don't even know at all). If I care to get to know who they are as a person, their looks are often just a bonus of unconditional appreciation.

Wait what? They're not the same at all. I buy/listen to albums based on the album covers all the time.

Because album covers aren't random. They're a marketing tool deliberately chosen to represent the content of the album.

This. And if the album sucks, then at least you still have the bitchin' cover.

The music contained within this cover sounds exactly the way it looks



I just wanted to mention that, because it's one of my favorite covers

A recent example.



If you saw that and expected anything other than a stupid weird piece of something, then you are mistaken.

Makes me think of Katatonia, all their album covers were eerie and grainy.
