- Post subject: What album cover does this remind you of?
|
I presume you've experienced the phenomenon of having some innocuous thing you encounter suddenly and powerfully reminding you of some other, completely unrelated, thing.
E.g.
"Hey, doesn't that person look just like celebrity so-and-so?"
"I always feel like at this part in this song, they should jump into the chorus of this other song."
Often, you're alone in this recognition, and bringing it up to others results only in blank looks, as no one else can see whatever similarity you think you've detected. Well, here's a thread for that phenomenon as it relates to album covers! Post an image of something that reminds you of an album cover, and everyone else can try to guess which album cover you're thinking of.
I'll start it off with this photo of a thank you card from my niece:
(I didn't obtain permission to use her name or likeness, so I blurred them out.)
What album cover does this remind you of? I'll post the answer after giving some time for y'all to mull it over. Meanwhile, post some of your own! Take a picture of something that reminds you of an album cover, and see if we can guess what you're thinking of.

well, first of all, you are evil. mind games like this gnaw at my mind like rats on my toes in the sewertime days. i mean, the odds anyone figures out what the hell that photo reminds you of are slim at best, but here i am racking my brain, knowing that the big reveal will likely be an album cover i've at least seen before.
theeeeen, due to the censorship, i skittered out to Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, but since you're the one screwballing me, i'm half to chnge that'p.
so here's my best guesses:
THE DRUMS | PORTAMENTO
LOS CAMPESINOS | WE ARE BEAUTIFUL, WE ARE DOOMED
PHOEBE BRIDGERS | STRANGERS IN THE ALPS
WEYES BLOOD | FRONT ROW SEAT TO EARTH
BRAND NEW | DAISY

Maybe... It's not, as far as I know, a very well known album. For what it's worth, here on BEA it's well outside the top 10,000. When I first saw the card I immediately knew it reminded me of something, but it wasn't until after hours of internet scouring that I figured out precisely what that something was. Perhaps I should have started with something a bit easier to guess. This one's just so weirdly perfect; I really wanted to share it with the world.
Your guesses are interesting, but none are correct, I'm sad to say.
Here's another one, where the album is quite a bit better known, I believe:
This is on display in my mom's living room.
I've only got a couple more up my sleeve. Anyone else have any?

Car Seat Headrest isn't what I was thinking, but that might actually be better.
As for yours:
Surf's Up by The Beach Boys?

You got it!
Here's another. I saw this folder at Shopko yesterday. It's what made me finally start this thread after thinking about it for a while.

Reminds me of this one:
