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 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!
