Always loved that Starting Line Direction album cover you conveniently have as your avatar. Always thought all of Circa Survive's albums looked amazing.

Big fan of Silverstrand by Over It as well... but that's probably just because its one of my favorite albums.

The tell all your friends album cover.

Its exactly where my familys car caught fire when I was younger. Plus I love how they hide 152 in all the other album covers, kinda like a never forgetting your roots thing to me.

Yeah, I'm going to be "that guy"... This has been done a lot, pretty recently even. Here are two examples of old threads like this:

http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1471402

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, some Portugal. The Man artwork will be mentioned at some point (assuming the thread lasts that long), and I will disagree and think it's ugly, regardless of random folds and whatnot.

guess I'm not posting any of those :-(


I usually don't like the collage-style album art, but I really have an attraction to this lately

I've always been a fan of Norths album artwork, even moreso the inside of the inside than just the cover.

It seems like these threads all ultimately drift into people posting album covers that will give them cred. With that being said:

Here are 3 that I always found to be pretty awesome. Maybe not my favs, but I definitely like them.
