I liked the Graduation cover a lot, the art style is a radical change from the other ones which is a pretty good representation of the shift in production style. Also I just think it's cute in general desu

The Beatles had genius art concepts (and even lack thereof with the White Album). I love how Pepper has a meticulously crafted cover, and then the follow up White Album, which is their biggest and boldest record yet in musical terms, opts for no cover rather than attempting to top Pepper.

Shame MMT's cover is a bit weak. It suits the music but looks a bit like a school kid knocked it up on MS Publisher.

Literally any metal band ever. The only time metal bands have bad album art is when they are so broke they can't afford good art.

>>71114327
>they are so broke they can't afford good art.
So, every black metal band ever? They have cool album covers, but mostly because they didn't make them.

So you mean like every band then?

Beside maybe garbage shit like >>71114289 that is basically saying "its just a simple shape, but its a simple shape for intellectuals so you wouldnt understand". I'm sure that any musician could make something that pretentious by themselves.

I like milo's cover art a lot though I could see why other people might not. Difficult to find artists with consistently good art on their albums when they have long discogs

Other artists with good cover art:
Kvelertak
The Mountain Goats
