ITT: album cover hacks
>you now realize those are creases and not ropes
It's a potato slice.
It's a guitar
>itt people who only download albums and use shit software that only displays tiny thumbnails
a lot of people think the bottom part says blackstar but it actually says fuck this retarded thread
>>70396324
Okay this one legitimately blew my mind
It's not a guitar
This is the side of a closed eye.
>>70396345
You can change album art display size pretty easily on any music player that matters though
>>70396355
huh
>>70396402
Whoops forgot pic
>>70396355

>>70396324

>>70396585
I don't see it, any help?
>>70396804
The UFOs are guitars, neck towards the back.
>>70396804
>>70396804
look at the bottom of the UFO
>>70396855
nigga what?
>>70396804
>>70396517
Reminds me of HR Giger. Most of his work is very erotic
>>70396721
Hahaha same
>>70397011
Hahaha same
>>70396846
>>70396855
Holy frick these two did it for me
>>70396324
I'm not sure if that makes this album cover more cheesy or less cheesy
>>70397021
Hahaha same
>>70397114
Hahaha same
>>70396933
Giger did the album art
>>70396355
boi you sure showed us all
>>70396395
wait, what exactly is not a guitar?
>>70396355
You mean Bowie, you plumbfuck.
>>70397125
Hahaha same
>>70397360
Hahaha same
>>70397402
Hahaha same
Not really a hack but the longest time I thought this was taken while Dylan was walking, which is why it looked fuzzy. Turns out he was leaning against a wall and it was cold that day, so both he and the photographer were shivering.
>>70397441
Hahaha same
>>70397353
the magazine he's holding. Given the way he's sitting and a small thumbnail it's easy to assume he's holding a guitar
>>70396395
this one is the only one that also got me, even knowing it's not a guitar, my brain can't process that it isn't when it's the small image
>>70396324
MOTHERF
actually it's Mothra
>>70396287
I always thought it was a fence.
its actually a windowpane
>>70396610
i thought they were ropes, to bundle together stacks of the albums
>>70396287
Yes, r u dum? When that came out they all said it was a pic Ride had in his wallet that was crumpled up.
>>70396309
Lol all jokes aside it's a tambourine
>>70396324
Woah holy shit
>>70396355
Really makes u think
>>70396395
Wait what isn't a guitar I don't see anything that even resembles a guitar
>>70396428
Knew this but it's still cool
>>70396517
Was that intentional?
>>70396566
Fuckin awesome
>>70396754
Lmao ya got me
The two hands don't belong to that head
>>70398746
>Was that intentional?
Yeah actually, the illustrator drew that and intended on it being a lot more blatantly obvious but the record label wouldn't print it so they brushed it out
>>70396517
>>70398746
>>70399004
>not recognizing a Giger
I'm too old for this place
>>70396287
>ropes
are you retarded?
>>70397709
you gotta be fucking kidding me
the birds are the continents
>>70399092
I'm sorry I didn't major in art history and instead decided to get something that would help me in the real world :^)
the guy on the right is on fire

Giger is pop culture, and there's no excuse for you living in the backwoods.
>>70399663
Maybe in the 70s, nimrod,
Just looked him up, gotta say I really like Penis Landscape, It Really Makes You Think,
>>70397663
Heh.
>>70398829
Yeah I seen the full fold, looks sick. Any ideas on pic related?
litlle heads of the band are in the bottom left
Sufjan is at the bottom above the beginning of "People".
Maybe I'm just blind but I never noticed the face until recently.
>>70401485
ole Neville Longbottom lookin ass
>>70399180
how have i never noticed this
>band member's faces
The person holding Bowie is himself
The title is also in the bar code
>>70396309
I always thought that was a coconut cut in half
Fleetwood isn't holding Nicks's hand
It says "Here comes" backwards in orange below the title.
It says PBVSGR
>>70397084
Definitely more
>>70402168
I like hours but that version of the cover is awful
>>70402379
There's a different version?
>>70402435
1999 US CD cover
>>70402259
My life is fucking lie
>>70396395

>>70396465
oh weird it kind of does
i hadn't noticed
>>70397663
underrated
>>70402259
i love this cover its so shitty and so good at the same time
>>70402317
I thought it was panda bear visits the grim reaper with the v there. But then realized the s dudnt make sense. Then remembered its pbmtgr. And V S is just vs
>>70401200

The trash can in the bottom right
There is a hidden black man on Loveless.
He doesn't actually have a fish for a head he's just holding one.
It's a puppet
>>70403195
I don't see it...
>>70403284
AAAAAA WHAT THE FUCK
I'VE LISTENED TO THIS FOR 10+ YEARS
>>70403312
lmao this is why I love pointing it out
>>70396287
youre an idiot my man
>>70396465
MY MIND IS BLOWN
He isn't holding a guitar
>>70403195
There's a shuttlecock on the top of his hat
not music related but i just discovered this one like 3 weeks ago and can't get over it
>>70403522
Didn't even look baka
>>70396395
The yellowish smudge at the bottom of the cover is actually Iggy's face turned 90 degrees.
>>70397449
Weren't they like "let's go outside and take a shitty portrait cause we need an album cover"? That's what I was told happened.
>>70396309
fpbp
>>70399257
Underrated post
>>70396324
At first I was like wtf, but then I saw...
Goddamn...
the four Beatles' faces hidden in the cover of Their Satanic Majesties Request.
>>70403284
it all makes so much sense...
>>70396395
Holy shit... wtf
>>70403284
I still don't get it
>>70404216
it's a hand puppet holding a knife.
I thought it was pretty obvious.
He's not standing in a corner
>>70404324
Holy fuck I remember someone saying this earlier and I flipped shit
>>70404324
Fuck
>>70396395
Am I being memed?
>>70404184
>>70403312
What did you guys think it was, a deformed midged amputee holding a gigantic knife with his arm stumps?
>>70404403
i honestly still think i don't get it
i always thought it was just a leering face with a gloved hand holding a knife in front of it
i still think that, except maybe it's an oven mitt not a glove?? idk
>>70402725
>mfw the music sounds as shit as the cover looks
>>70404324
what the heck
>>70404403
I thought it was a hand with a boxing glove punching a smug looking/evil looking guy (presumably because he's a business owner or government man or something else) while for some reason holding a knife
The puppet thing makes a lot more sense I know
>>70403103
i don't see it
i can kind of see two fallen trash cans but it's a stretch
>>70404324
wtf how did i miss this lmao
>>70396309
It's one of those cutout displays at the beach where you stick your head through and take funny pictures. It goes with the theme of being a postcard.
Blank Banshee album cover is Lara Croft without eyebrows
>>70402047
if you mirror the image it kinda looks like 666.
>>70401951
woooooah, never saw this until now
>>70401951
It took me awhile too so don't feel too bad
>>70404436
wtf i hate gran torino now
>>70404431
Now I kind of see it.
don't you know what a hand puppet is?
Imagine this holding a kitchen knife with his tiny arms.
>>70396395
This is incredible to me. It's been like 12 years since I first heard and saw this album and I never realized.
>>70404674
yes i know what a hand puppet is, but the cover doesn't look like that holding a kitchen knife in it's tiny arms
that puppet has tiny arms connected to it's torso
the album looks like it doesn't have any tiny arms or torso, and instead there is just a man's forearm and gloved hand with a knife in front of the puppets orange face
>>70398829
MY GAWD THE BLACK GAWD
>>70404674
>>70404757
OH SHIT
I JUST GOT IT
you shoulda just said that the fingers and thumb parts of the glove are his arms and he's hugging the knife, and he has a little tie
honestly i kinda like the old way better, it always felt weirder and more menacing
There are people in the bottom right

They're not buildings. They are cereal boxes and various kitchen items made to look like the Manhattan skyline.
>>70404920
WHOA AND IT'S A WAITRESS NOT THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
YOU'RE BLOWING MY MIND MAN
>>70404757
it's one of those smaller hand puppets. the right arm can be maneuvered with the pinky, the left arm with the thumb. The knife is being held between those fingers.
>>70404324
OK WHAT THE FUCK
>>70404920

See the nice thing about this site is that you can be annonomus. It doesn't matter what age you are it only matters what your taste in music is. So could I ask why do you care.
>>70405171
We don't hate underages, only you. And the reason is because of posts like this.
>>70405171
>I already heard the majority of /mu/core and I can easily get into artists deemed as inaccessible such as Les Rallizes Denudes and Merzbow.
>>70405171
Listen, this board is a joke.
A shamble. A disease.
Why, you ask?
Because it's full of utter hypocrisy and judgmental hipsters, the same people who ironically call other people hipster douchebags.
When will you people grow up? Most of you are most likely 19 and younger and its quite sad you spend most of you're time judging someone else for their OPINION and taste in music and art.
Just because you listen to edgy underground artists with strange genres I've never heard of doesn't make you a special snowflake. And when you brag to your friends about how cool and "refined" your music taste and knowledge is, just know on the inside they're cringing and laughing at you for actually listening to Neutral Milk Hotel, DeathGrips and Radiohead.
Stop acting like a child. And stop using such immature terms. Grow up, you imbeciles.
In 10 years, none of this trivial tomfoolery will matter. Music is not everything. So while you sit there and torrent the new Bjork album, just know you could've been outside interacting with an actual human being or done something invigorating... Yet you chose to listen to music ironically to fit in with neck beards on a music forum.
How sad, how sad indeed.
>Cover of Uncle Jam. A flashlight and bop gun are on full display. This confirms Parliment and Funkadelic are in fact the same band.
>>70396566
I'd also hide my face if I ever produced a piece of shit album
>>70399274
>The album title is asking who's next to pee
At least I truly see
>>70405839
I always thought it was who (or what) do we pee on next
>>70405553

They didn't actually only townshend could go so he did the piss for everyone. Also they only found this spot when walking to another photoshoot and the whole thing was impromptu
>>70401485
Leonard DiCaprio is a bit below the S is Sufjan
>>70401485
Who are the people? I only recognize sufjan and leonardo dicaprio
>>70406083
I think I remember random fans sending in their pics for Sufjan's album, or people he knows.I'd have to google it
> Did you know those are not flames? It's actually spaghetti with sauce.

>>70399180
How the fuck did I not notice this until just now?
Holy shit. And everyone at work praises me for my attention to detail skills. Wtf
>>70396309
Hand drum not a tambourine idiots
>>70402168
Saw this artwork a while back. I think it's the most shockingly awful album art I've ever seen.
>>70404491
This is what I thought
>>70403284
It's someone handing someone a bomb, tripling as man running off with one and a hand puppet.
Also looks like someone punching someone in the face with a bomb in their hand.
>>70402252
WTF My whole life that's what I thought it was. wow what the hell
>>70405012
Shit you're cool.
Or maybe you just happen to have some specific knowledge these people reasonably lacked.
Also I saw it was a giger too but you're still the retard here.
>>70407500
haha you got me lad :^)
>>70406464
It's a nude woman with nails projected onto her
The back cover has a cameo by Master Splinter
>>70409129
The Offspring was my favourite band for like five years how did I never fucking notice this
>>70404324
oshit
you can see Lana del Rey's red bra under her shirt, it is supposed to symbolize how she looks like a normal botox fuck face but is actually a slut
>>70404324
How could I miss that lmao
>>70396287
how stupid are you
She has an extra arm growing from her head and the hand belongs to that arm.
>>70406671
>>70406718
you are literally high
>>70397472
Hahaha same
>>70410452
No, her left hand goes over her right hand. The hand you see is her left hand.
>>70396287
I thought it was a window with weird framing.
>>70402168
Maximalism was a mistake
It's not a pig man
>>70404021
Yes. And he was also really into doctor who apparently
>>70404494
>>70405420
Hes obviously saying that the album is bad
Not hidden or anything but I've only ever seen this cover on a tiny iPod screen and never noticed that the inset on the bottom right is a pedophilic image of a young girl on a bed with her dress pulled up.
I guess Sleazy was at it even back in the 70s.
It's a penis entering a vagina.
>>70403172
is that Hannibal Buress?
Hesitation Marks is referencing term "hesitation wounds" which is a test cut before suicide happens/test to try out how good the knife is, it is usually done under clothes´, the cut is usually horizontal.
The red line in this cover references just that, the hesitation wound.
The album also has the same font as The Downward Spiral, referencing it as it being either a sequel and also as an album Trent thought about who he was during its making.
>>70402252
He also has his nuts hanging out
>>70399180
oh shit you right
>>70399274
"Who's Next" (to piss on) this is a revelation
>>70406470
this is incredibly obvious if you ever see the cover in something larger than 100x100
>>70412376
this is actually uncensored on Spotify for some reason. They didn't notice I guess
>>70399274
So that's why they're all standing like...
How the fuck did I not see.
>>70404977
Fuck
>>70401951
anazing
>>70412286
>implying Sleazy would defile his masculine energy by having any sexual thoughts about women
>>70403195
Up until now, I just thought that the guy on the cover was wearing a mask.
A mask that replicated a trout.
A Trout Mask Replica, if you will.
>>70406028
Rule Two is one of those rules that nobody really cares about, like how in New York you aren't allowed to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket.
>>70406671
Spotted
>>70414288
But in fact, he's replicating a trout mask! The sheer genius of this album knows no bounds.
>>70407629
Hoooooooly shit, this is the only one to make me audibly freak out

>>70412286
Sleazy wasn't into bitches, he was a real man
It was probably Genesis
>>70404324
Don't worry I fixed it.
Never thought they were ropes to begin with
>>70405553
Yet, here you are.
>>70412376

I remember thinking it was a cheese wheel for the longest time
>>70417290
I always knew that from the belly button, but I could never figure out how (s)he is oriented. Like, where is the rest of their body?

No, that's what it looks like and why it's a hack. Look closer.

>>70396324
Holy crap
>>70404920
Fugg I've never looked close enough at this album cover before.
>>70412006
Blew my mind the first time I realized that.
There's a horse and chariot in the clouds
>>70404324
just fuck me up senpai
Took me a long time to realise this was a collage of armogedden imagery and not just a weird looking smiley face
>>70396933
You serious right now?
Alice has his willy out (well it's his thumb really but that's the implication)
it's a statue
>>70418366
Wait, did you used to think that was a real stag?
>>70402259
Lmao is padington bear dabbing in this one?

i only see pig man
>>70396287
you now realize that isn't MC ride on the cover
>>70396355

>>70412758
it's just linen.
those cuts on the itunes cover tho
>>70417290
i thought it was a fist with a dent in the middle knuckle lol
>>70406671
Holy shit I see it, it's moleman
>>70414600
It's also an AM wave
>>70412286
It's also the same girl that's sitting at the table. Look at the dress.
>>70412758
They're not marks made by testing a knife. That's just retarded. They're shallow cuts made by hesitating, or pussying out. Hence the fucking name.
it's a topless woman
>>70406851
Isn't that Autism?

Oh, I think I see it. Very interesting.
