Over the years there have been some cool album covers. Here are just a few of my favorites:
The Moody Blues - A Question of Balance. I love how everything kind of morphs from one thing to another. The colors used are great too. I would like to get this album on vinyl just for the artwork! My whole family likes the Moody Blues anyway, so it may be good to listen to as well. I only know one song from it though. "Question."
Def Leppard - Retro Active. The first thing you see is probably not what you are really seeing. I think it is amazing how they made this cover look like a skull from a distance, but as you look closer, it is a woman sitting at a mirror, sitting with a bunch of fragrances. Her reflection in the mirror is not accurate either, but that is even more brilliant because it draws in the viewer and she looks angry. Wow! I admit I like some Def Leppard tunes, but I do not recognize a single song from this album. I still love the artwork though!
The last one, most recent, is Switchfoot - Oh Gravity! Lots of detail, limited color.
It really keeps the eye busy! Fun and quirky. The title is upside down, emphasizing "gravity" itself. I like that! I have heard clips from this album. I believe it would be a good one to add to my collection someday.
