Is this some sort of comment on the death of the album-cover-as-art-form in the age of digital music?
Not intentionally. Though, we could make it a tribute of sorts. Inspired by the debut classics thread.Quote:

Oh! Here's the weird part, I can see the album cover I posted. Okay, I will start again.Quote:

I don't hate it so I'll say LOVE it.

I kinda like it, so we'll go with love.

Love. A classic (although the mockticles are... a bit much).

Hmm. Hate (don't really, just ambivalent)
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg
Shame that that is only half of it - it extends as the album is opened (LP only)
Eh...Hate. (Not so much, but don't like)

I thought Mr Loaf had disenfranchised the Love/Hate regulation.
It's surprisingly hard for me to divorce the album covers from my feelings about the music inside. As a piece of visual art, HATE, hard as that is to fathom. Next:

On albums I know, it's hard to divorce my feelings for the cover from my feelings for the music! ETA: I just noticed I've said this three times in this thread! I swear I am losing my mind. :(
Hate, very mildly. Next:

An Gadai, I think Frank is gesturing to the lady whose hand he's holding that her chariot, er, aircraft awaits. And is yours actually moving, or is that an optical illusion?

This is a bit hard to see and I'm too idle to photograph my own right now.
It's a limited edition of the Mylenium Tour double album and made of solid brass and designed to emulate the massive doors that opened at the beginning and closed at the end of the concert.
Impressed the hell out of me when it arrived.

MYLENE FARMER Mylenium Tour (Superb 2000 French exclusive 'Édition Limitée' 2-CD set featuring 19 tracks captured live in Paris during 1999, housed in some of the most deluxe packaging ever seen! The CDs are presented in a gatefold card picture sleeve held in a heavy duty gold-coloured metal casing, embossed with artist name and album logos, which is enclosed within a linen-bound picture box complete with an extensive booklet crammed with stunning and detailed images of the leading lady and her cast performing live!).
Love! Looks like something Frank Lloyd Wright would've designed for his own band.
http://img.noiset.com/images/album/m...art-47705.jpeg
I think the Rolling Stones cover is a jab at Sgt. Pepper by design.
Hate, but only mildly, and only because Mindi seems to be the intended center of attention and she isn't doing much for me.

Comes with a numbered certificate (limited edition).
The cylinder is a replica of the glass sarcophagus used in the show in Paris. The set was too complex to take on the road.
The box contains two CDs and two DVDs of the show.
The most expensive album in my collection and still 1/10 of the price they usually go for
I'll have to say... hate. Just too busy.

The original LP sleeve (lower image) has the two corners cut away as shown.
Personally love the cover and the album but the CD cover is nowhere near as good as the original.
Groovy! Love.
