09.27.11 | itt jacob bannon is god |
anarchistfish
09.27.11 | 35 should be the other version
no idea why 40 and 26 aren't working |
Eskate87
09.27.11 | some good art here, some i dont really care for. missing Devil and God. |
StrangerofSorts
09.27.11 | Well if one was going to fail... it would be the top one, wouldn't it? |
Aids
09.27.11 | there are some really weird choices here but also some pretty good ones. idk what to think of this list. |
tarkus
09.27.11 | In
The
Court
Of
The
Crimson
King |
anarchistfish
09.27.11 | "some good art here, some i dont really care for. missing Devil and God."
yeah I decided not to include that one. I'm pretty indifferent about it. in some ways I like it and see how it reflects the music but in other ways it doesn't really interest me aesthetically
|
anarchistfish
09.27.11 | "In
The
Court
Of
The
Crimson
King"
deliberately didn't include that one either
also I really want to punch in the vagina all the people who put covers like Nevermind, SPLHCB and any Kiss album on these kinds of lists |
DannyReguera
09.27.11 | I've always loved This Will Destory You artwork |
anarchistfish
09.27.11 | also 94 was meant to be the other one. I don't particularly care for that version
and I realise that the list is geared more towards modern artworks |
TheNotrap
09.27.11 | Cool artworks here.
Derek Riggs's Killers and Somewhere in Time are among my fav covers.
The Dark Side of the Moon is #1
|
Aids
09.27.11 | "In
The
Court
Of
The
Crimson
King"
deliberately didn't include that one either
the fuck is wrong with you? jk jk but seriously that's gotta be the best representation of the music within the album fucking ever |
ffs
09.27.11 | most of these suck |
SmokingTheClouds
09.27.11 | 92, so hard. But I do agree that "In the Court of King Crimson" is almost an obligatory inclusion for these kinds of list.
Have you seen Fleshgod Apocalypse', "Oracles" cover? Just based on some of the items listed here, I think you'd rather enjoy that album artwork. |
WashboardSuds
09.27.11 | most of this isn't particularly appealing tbh |
inspectorK
09.27.11 | where be silent waters? |
Spec
09.27.11 | And number one doesn't show up. |
Alexcore
09.27.11 | needs baroness and mastodon's crack the skye |
Ovrot
09.27.11 | Needs more Aspid |
DoubtGin
09.27.11 | needs more Tom Waits |
toxin.
09.27.11 | Yeah The Dark Side of the Moon should be #1. I love me some refraction ! |
anarchistfish
09.27.11 | Well I haven't heard king crimson so..
oh crap I was gonna include baroness. forgot. oh well
@spec, f# never shows up on lists cos of the infinite symbol fucking with sputnik coding
nope I haven't seen fleshgod that I can remember |
anarchistfish
09.27.11 | TDSOTM is so cliched. I tend to like dark, abstract or landscape covers rather than the classic, iconic ones |
toxin.
09.27.11 | I wouldn't say it's cliched. That seems to imply other album covers are similar or the same.
Unless you mean picking it would be cliched, in which case I could agree (but that's not really a strong enough reason in itself) |
patman1001
09.27.11 | mmmmmmmm 19 |
anarchistfish
09.27.11 | Well I still put it there, but aesthetically I don't like it nearly as much as those above it.
1 is first by miles. also, @aids, if king crimson's artwork is a better representation of it's music than f# I'll be amazed |
Eko
09.27.11 | missing devil and god
59 is best here obv |
SmokingTheClouds
09.27.11 | The King Crimson cover is an absurdly accurate representation. I'm not sure if its accuracy is greater than 1's, but, nonetheless. |
DominionMM1
09.27.11 | Neurosis' Given To The Rising |
Knave
09.27.11 | i always liked the idea behind Leviathan's artwork |
taylormemer
09.27.11 | Some of these are just crap |
porch
09.28.11 | thank heavens 55 is here, i was about to make fun of the list |
Yuli
09.28.11 | Exoplanet's album art by the Contortionist is so damn pretty. |
alachlahol
09.28.11 | this list is basically just a blind pooling of random shit. that clubroot album? really |
dammets
09.28.11 | With some of the albums here, I'm dissapointed there's no Angel Dust. |
Trebor.
09.28.11 | Weird taste |
iFghtffyrdmns
09.28.11 | yeah definitely |
sublimefan1991
09.28.11 | your #1's album art didn't show up. can someone say irony? |
deathofasalesman
09.28.11 | The top ten are boring. |
PistolPete
09.28.11 | i would say jane doe is my favorite, but i agree with a lot on here |
rasputin
09.28.11 | worship - last cd before doomsday |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | Tbh if everyone agreed with the list not much would have been achieved apart from another sputnik circle jerk.
and clubroot's artwork is sweet. it represents the music well too |
LiquidVelvet
09.28.11 | Great list, although imo Balam Acab and Circa's On Letting Go should be 1 and 2, respectively.
|
twlight
09.28.11 | featured, really?? |
Liberi Fatali
09.28.11 | Yup, this has about 2cents more thought into it than most lists on here. So worth a feature, regardless of whether you think he/she chose well in the top 100. |
Pigwise41
09.28.11 | Forgot Supporting Caste. That album art owns. And 50, although a good album, has terrible album art. |
fulgrim
09.28.11 | Needs more atmospheric black metal albums with forests on and stuff like that. |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | "missing devil and god"
deliberately |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | "missing devil and god"
deliberately
"Neurosis' Given To The Rising"
nope
"worship - last cd before doomsday"
it's ok. maybe around the #70 mark
"With some of the albums here, I'm dissapointed there's no Angel Dust."
cos it isn't that good
"Forgot Supporting Caste."
looked it up and nope
"And 50, although a good album, has terrible album art."
it's simple, dark and menacing. it belongs here
on reflection, king crimson probably does belong here |
Joshgasm
09.28.11 | Can't believe this got featured. |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | neither can I lol |
omnipanzer
09.28.11 | Subjective list is subjective
but I always appreciate effort sir. |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | added links for the ones that don't appear/give a different version to the one I have in mind |
Reigato
09.28.11 | Lateralus by Tool, I think it's pretty rad. I'm surprised it didn't make the list. But very good otherwise! :) |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | "Lateralus by Tool, I think it's pretty rad. I'm surprised it didn't make the list. But very good otherwise! :)"
10,000 Days' one is better IMO |
OneMoreRoland
09.28.11 | lol 19. Just cause she is hot as FUCK |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | well duh |
acorncheese
09.28.11 | some really fucking shitty artwork on here. underoath? come the fuck on. |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | what's wrong with underoath? |
acorncheese
09.28.11 | the artwork for define the great line at 3? |
anarchistfish
09.28.11 | yeah I love it. |
porch
09.29.11 | "featured, really??"
holy fuck you're right this decision has compromised the once untouchable credibility of the list feature system |
Ire
09.29.11 | Yes has such great artwork.
unrelated: i would include more psychedelic stuff
|
FromDaHood
09.29.11 | F#A# has pretty cool artwork considering the album |
TMobotron
09.29.11 | I posted this in the Untrue comments, but since it's so high on here I'm gonna whore it out here too, you might like it. I drew this to hang on my wall:

foxblood
09.29.11 | these are the most bizarre top-album-artwork choices i could imagine. so i guess kudos for that |
Blackbelt54
09.29.11 | meh |
SmokingTheClouds
09.29.11 | Yes has such great artwork. [2] |
renegadestrings
09.29.11 | Vheissu |
foxblood
09.29.11 | only album art i think i agree with is 96 lol |
nick0307
09.29.11 | great list. 82, 71, 67, 45, 31, 16, 13 and 5 are super cool. Everything that Converge, Mastodon and the Mars Volta put out have great album covers. |
Trebor.
09.29.11 | artworks sounds weird |
anarchistfish

yeah I saw that
p. cool |
Yuli
09.29.11 | This thread really brought out the Sputdicks... AnarchistFish I agree with a lot of these, it's always a good motivation to check out an album when the artwork draws you in. |
anarchistfish
09.30.11 | I forgot Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know and Nesseria - Nesseria |
TMobotron
09.30.11 | Thanks Fish, and yeah I thought this list was pretty good too don't know what everyone's shitting about. Expecially like swarms being on here |
ffs
09.30.11 | "I wanna fuck Lights in the mouth"
agree w/ this. emphatically |
owen
11.24.11 | A Thousand Suns has the laziest artwork ever |
Aids
11.24.11 | Tycho - Dive is actually awesome |
qwe3
11.24.11 | that muse one is laughably bad lmao |
MO
11.24.11 | "most of these suck"
yep, that NIN one seriously? the new in flames? ugh |
NWOAHM666
11.24.11 | Integrity, NIN, Lamb of God, Slayer, Fear Factory, and All Shall Perish all have cool artwork on their albums. |
Valerius
11.24.11 | Dan Seagrave > |
anarchistfish
11.24.11 | oh I remember this
quite a lot of these wouldn't be on it if I did it again |
NWOAHM666
11.24.11 | "I wanna fuck Lights in the mouth"
Don't we all? |
anarchistfish
11.24.11 | wtf why is 90 on here |
porcupinetheater
11.24.11 | Alcest - Ecailles de Lune. Beautifully serene, yet slightly haunting by itself; and it perfectly matches the music |
jorge22s
11.24.11 | Most of them are great. Illustrations are awesome. I specially like Burial's Untrue. |
