Last year, I bought several albums mostly on their covers : "Helplessness Blues", "New History Warfare Vol. 2", "Ravedeath, 1972". They were so beautiful, I was expecting something grand.
I don't say the cover will change the musical content, but for me, it's definitely an important item. |
You said it way better than me but that is kind of what I meant! 👏

But the cover adds to the mythology of the album. Albums like Kid A, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and In the Court of the Crimson King to me are inseparable from the artwork. I guess I'm just a romantic though. If the music is there to express something, why not express it with every aspect of the product?

Sometimes I buy records judging them for their cover + the name of the songs, but the cover it's more important. And I wasn't there when it was such a big deal but I still think it is very important.
