What in the hell is THAT supposed to be? And better yet, how is that a fine art? It's just a bunch of colored shapes and patterns. I could do the same thing with crayons in 10 minutes.

I guess maybe, and don't shit yourself out of shock here, we have differing opinions? I've seen a lot of covers in here I find crappy.

While I won't claim any great understanding of art, I have to say the "I could do the same thing with crayons in 10 minutes" argument is always incredibly stupid and shows absolutely no understanding of art whatsoever - in that it is about the effect on the viewer and what the viewer takes from it.

I really love Atheist's early album covers, it is what probably drew me to their albums along with their name. The first time i saw Piece of Time it just struck me as so symbolic in an infinite amount of ways, Unquestionable Presence just as symbolic with a different sense of atmosphere.

UMA is of course a BM album of the year for me and the artwork is absolutely gorgeous.

low res images dont do it justice but you can get an idea for it. Looking at the booklet right now and its really striking, huge fan of sci-fi and concept art of the nature so this is really a treat to absorb all of the pictures. If anyone knows anything similar id love to know.

The front art from Wędrujący Wiatr's (currently) sole album, Tam, gdzie Miesiąc opłakuje Świt. It just fits the music so well, this art.

I have no idea what album that is by what band. I think I may have made that in P4 art. Is it free jazz or DSBM?

Weird, I think there's a Japanese Motorhead-inspired punk band of the same name.....

"Psychedelic synthpop" makes me think of that "Fade to Grey" video by Visage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IitzbNtiGpA

Sorry, they took the original down and only have the original visual to this shitty remix....

Well yeah, melodic power metal albums normally deal with mythical creatures like unicorns and dragons... But, it is a regal animal, along with their usual warrior queen and her Darth Maul light sabre thing...

An awesome art for an awesome album. It's a travesty that Alex Kurtagic hasn't done more album arts.

Agreed, though I too could care less about the album artwork in question. To each his own.

Yeah, I put "could do the same thing with crayons in 10 minutes" on par with a lot people saying extreme metal isn't music, it's just a bunch of noise created by non-talented caveman...created in 10 minutes.

Yeah that new Prosanctus Inferi artwork is Insane. When I ordered the die hard I stared at it for like 10 minutes, and then hung up the tapestry before I heard a single note of the album.

I'm not sure if the art would look any better or not if the band's logo wasn't there. On one hand, the logo seems to be conflicting with everything else with its hard edges compared to the soft, painted style of everything else, but on the other hand it'd be kind of awkward having a giant black sphere just hanging in the middle of the art with nothing to do.

A textbook case of the cover art being about 58 times better than the music.
