Best Ever Album Covers by 
AAL2014 
Here we find the records that offer something great before you even press play on them.
To make this chart, I considered a few things including the photography/imagry and color pallet that appeals to me the most, how well each cover helped convey the story of the music held inside, and simply which covers were too iconic to ignore.
Like my main charts, this one will always be a fun work in progress. Feel free to shoutout some recommendations in the comments!

This cover is magical. Just like the music found throughout Bitches Brew, its cover is mystical, far-reaching, and seriously spiritually foreboding. The colors here are just astounding and are key to making me want to play this record every time I take a look at the cover.
There is an entire world to discover in the 100+ minutes contained underneath this cover. The images only help contextualize that. [First added to this chart: 11/15/2021]
