Best Album Covers of 2008
« on: December 22, 2008, 01:22:14 PM »
Enough of the music, let's talk shop, artsy-folk.

What are your favorite album covers of 2008. I always have an eye out for this (my job and all), and there's a grammy handed out for it every year, so weigh in, FOT's.

I just saw Neko Case's new album cover, and although it isn't defining 2008 (and I'm seeing some no-no's), it cracks me up and I'm kicking this off with it. I'll come up with some more serious picks in a bit...

That is a great Neko Case cover. Man, I went through my 2008 albums and most of them were pretty bad. But I think this is my favorite from albums that I bought...



As far as albums I don't have...hmmm...I will have to check.

Gentleman Jesse


Shearwater - Rook


While Tha Carter III was disappointing, I still like the cover (the cover for his latest mixtape where he's an angel holding a baby in that river of blood is just batshit)


I'm not sure about that Santogold cover, most of the time it seems terrible, but every once in a while I kinda like it.

i will always like this album cover.  its fun.



given the heartsick lyrics harlan can be prone to (but never too depressing to listen to), i love this cover.



the imagery made of all these horses unicorns in my mind before i realized they were merely horses.



normally, the band on the cover of their own album doesnt appeal to me (i'll always buy the album anyway).



i dont care what anyone says, i love this santogold cover.  its hilarious.



and i never know if i should find this funny or offensive or both or neither.

Ximena Sarinana - Mediocre

Love the album and the cover. She's like the Spanish-language version of Feist, but with better songs and superior vocals. And she's 10 years younger.

Say what you will about these two, but this album cover is a graphic paradise.
