Overdetailed album art

i hate this shit. post more examples

>that big title ruins the album cover
Fuck
Also, most metal bands do this, even worse, it's edgy shit.

Metal

Metal bands have the shittiest album covers.

I love artwork that is huge and over the top. Especially if it fits the music.

>i hate this shit
t. never held an lp in his hands

The text always fucking ruins it
Look at this perfect album cover, now, look at that edgy font in the background.

this is cheating

God tier album arts

Of course you need the title, how are you going to know which record it is without it??

the spine of the record, cassette, or cd

I usually don't mind the text. Burzum especially has one of the cooler fonts in black metal, especially compared to some of the incomprehensible logos from his peers.

DELET THIS

Over-the-top and cheesy? sure. That's the point.

>Shitty.

goat

how dare you insult MIA

...

with god tier exceptions though

But all they could do is stand there and roar at you. They seem pretty harmless otherwise.

That looks ok. His new stuff is way worse, with that fucking Papyrus font on top of everything.

I think they can bend over and bite your dick off.

this is dope tho

Dude this album cover is fantastic, what are you on about?

Yeah I know. I love Amon Duul II's covers. Even for their shitty later albums. OP asked for detailed album covers, though.

...

Your picture quality is shit

Here's the original drawing they cropped it from

All of Dio's albums, although I don't agree that album art can be "overdetailed" or that there's something wrong with putting a lot of effort into it

...

...

>DIOOOOO MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA

The album art is overproduced and pretentious, just like the music

Fuck you, Relayer's cover is awesome and a bad example

that's her whole aesthetic tho

She predicted post-digital, vaporwave, and meme music

...

Fight me

how come noone mentioned this guy yet

This is a good cover

This cover art fooled me into thinking I was about to listen to some dank cheese metal, not edm garbage

...

idk if this counts but absolutely love this fucking album and its cover art....

so good though

This is the worst Dystopia album in both music and album art.

Not a terrible record by any means though.

i didnt say it wAS their best. i said i love it....as i do all of their albums. same goes for the album art. lol

Does anyone have the original .gif of this?

XD

...

...

what did he mean by this?

>talking shit about Roger Dean

Shit taste desu senpai

wow, I actually have a legitimate reason to post this now!

Full Circle by The Doors

this is objectively the worst Doors album as well

it works though because there are big basic shapes that your brain can make sense of. The problem with a lot of these is there nowhere to focus or everything tries to get your focus. It also why the Somewhere in Time album art should be amazing but actually sucks

Fuck you man, Roger Dean is awesome.

doesn't count because it's intentional and also proto-vaporwave so that's cool as shit

Most metal and a lot of the more blatantly hood rap have way too much stuff going on on their covers.

nah fuck u this album art style is goat

...

...

The worst album cover ever.

This is GOAT tho.

Because this is a work of art. I also love the one that the lead singer drew in ballpoint pen.

this is the worst by far

...

...

...

I'm not sure what the fuck it is with Cred Forums and defending this talentless hack, but it looks like shit.

I know these covers are quite popular on Cred Forums, but I hate the look of them.

Disagree with this. Gorgeous painting and not a bad album either imo.

...

You've obviously never visited a larger music store.

t. blind pleb

...

what is composition

There is something just a little off with how he draws people. The posture seems a little off at points and he likes to have the nipples visible even when they shouldn't be.
I like his work but it's understandable for someone not to.
