I don't, but I happen to like both of the covers I posted anyway. Better than a gray square with blue capital letters for sure. But whatever. Most album covers are really somewhere between passable and terrible. I wouldn't find much music if I went for stylish covers.

I like some quality heavy metal fantasy cheese. It makes me feel warm an fuzzy inside.

And the Prince impersonators looking for blimps?

The only problem I could possibly have with that cover is the two images of her being superimposed over each other, but I don't find that it looks corny. It's not like The Miracle by Queen. That one looks awful.

It's also very clean and slightly "airbrushed" looking like some very mainstream albums are, but not in a bad way. I basically fail to see what's bad about it. It's harmless at worst.

Damn that Queen album cover is awful lol.

I find this one corny though. *shrug*

Totally understandable, but I'm not really seeing it.
Inspired by this exchange, I posted in this thread... http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...ml#post1862306

Maybe I just have corny taste. I don't know and don't care :laughing:

Easily my favourite album so far. Though I'd put the instrumentals of No Now up there, which is probably better than the original album itself.

^an aural turd

Don't be a lazy poster. Tell us why you think it sucks.

but god forbid you say why it's good

At least there're genre tags on the page.

well those genres suck

I didn't know you felt that way about black metal.

well now it just sucks even more

I'm not even gonna listen because it sucks so hard

I think it's great because it successfully unites genre I've never heard successfully united. Listened to as a whole it sounds like nothing I've heard before. It's interesting, enjoyable, and groundbreaking. It also uses collage sound techniques but in a way that doesn't make a point of it or sound like a collage. It uses the electronic tape musique concrete ideas of the past and puts them to use in a sonic framework that works in 2017.

None of those were in any real order. It's an incredible record I need to hear more.

Zola Jesus - Okovi

officially added to my favorite albums this year.

.

That demonstrates literally nothing about the music.

you must have never had someone take a dump in your ear to know what it sounds like

.

you ever hear of this fancy thing called noise music

I guess it's not like those other songs that I can use to solve math equations, you're right.

.

Frown

Who cares?

Music can't stake out new terrain without leaving most people behind.

The typical music fan is about 80 years behind.

Think about it. Coltrane died almost 50 years ago. Schoenberg's first atonalities were a century ago. There's no point in arguing with people who still don't believe in evolution.

.

that album isn't really anything to soil your britches over, pretty basic chopping and screwing

Bull****

There ain't nothing else like it

Reminds me of Macintosh Plus.
