>>72665452
op is a faggot

>>72666877
what do you like about it so much? what would you write about?

>>72667737
About how it portrays a teenage innocence in a subtly dark and eerie way. The expression on Walfords' face for example is happy yet in a way desperate, reflecting how the album conveys dark and emotional feelings even when it was written by such young people

>>72667531
blue album is one of the best album of the 90s. Don't shit on it because its popular. Worst, you are shitting on it because you think you are being contrarian and funny

I'd say muzzy as well. He should be on eatbrain or ram. So good of a DnB artist. Same with bustre

>>72669560
Didn't bustre quit?

>>72669705
Yeah he quit after posting an album. He got a band and is a teacher. Guess he knew he gained nothing, especially how all his monstercat uploads got barely anything past 1 million

He'd be a good fit in hospital or med school, even shogun audio

This might sound strange but the cover to MPII is my favorite painting of all time. The color scheme is simplistic but the smeared look gives it a lot of personality and it reminds me of living in Colorado as a kid where we could go out onto the Rockies and look at the sunrise

>>72668120
Love the design on this, very satisfying blend of modern minimalism with more retro styles like the rainbow stripes

>>72668134
Fantastic shades of orange on this one

>>72668469
Very serene cover, nice tones of blue and a satisfying gradient from one side to the other

>>72669226
The colors on this one are great, pink and black usually looks dumb but the blurring and the way the band looks like TVU saves it. See also: Spacemen 3 - Sound of Confusion

>>72669446
Beautifully minimalistic without being boring, excellent use of simple shapes to convey the sparse but warm sound of the record

>>72669941
Very comfy cover, but somewhat mysterious

At least it's better than the music.

>>72667127
Ooh, I like this one too.

>>72671174
Yeah I really like that kind of art style, Hang seems to have a darker palette and more going on than MPII but it's cool in a similar way

Listen to every Swirlies album. The ride into Damon Tutunjian's mind never ends. He's still making flexi-vinyl at his own studio in Sweden and it's just boyish sounding shit still that sounds like the cover of Blonder Tongue Audio Baton.
