I just simply think it's simple neat and everything in harmony, I even like the fonts and text placing! *_*

^ allthough I think it's bad photoshopped, I agree.

No offense, but I would post this cover in the "horrible covers" thread :laugh

But then again, I don't agree with 90% of the covers in both threads.

Completely suit the theme of the album (fire,earth,water,wind)

yeah the photoshopping isn't the best, but I like it, because it's calm, and the colors are quite nice. =]

LOL well tastes are tastes I guess :eyebrow
I din't say it's the amazing one, it's just a nice one, for everything being in the right place at least in my eyes ^_^"
Besides some of the covers posted here have amazing photoshoots and artworks but totally suck in a matter of using fonts.. -_-"

:thud:luv2

Oh dear, when I first saw this pic I thought it's the full version of Utada's SC2 cover.. lol.

I bet Utada's staff just cropped out a section of that cover to use as the single collection cover lol.

I love these :

Love the first two, and I LOVE BritBrit, but I hate that cover.

I like this:

I don't think this thread is about "worrying more about the covers than the content" but rather a place to post and see and discuss album art we think is beautiful free of the original context. I find this and the horrible-covers-thread fine as they are. But I wouldn't mind a thread about the music-wise best albums and singles either, new music is always good. ;) Someone should probably make this kind of recommendation thread. :)

^YES.

I don't know who this artist is, but...

:laugh That's awesome.

How about every single ayumi hamasaki album cover ever made??

Crystal Lake.

All ayu cover but missundestood cd version, sunrise, crossroads.

Never heard of them.

me neither.

And I've never heard of those.

There's no such thing as an Ayu cover that isn't one of the best covers ever made.

Hello.

Love this cover! (for anyone that's wondering, her name's JASMINE, and this is the cover of her new single 'ONE')

http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/9198/p1010246d.jpg

ohhhhhh....dizzy

That's intense o_o I love the patterns.

What type of music does she do?

Dream pop. She's the lead singer of Asobi Seksu.

If you're interested I posted a video of theirs in the PV you're proud of thread.

a bit weird, but it draws me in. the music is very good too.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...eous/3rdJK.jpg

nice!

i like the one by J.Lo~

i love JASMINE with all my heart :heart and this cover

Jasmine's covers are always so creative and amazing

http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/9712/84455847.jpg

I'm so in love with F.I.R. now xD
:heart

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...lepopmusik.jpg

It makes me laugh. And ain't it just pretty?

how about almost all of Nightwish's covers? :D

^Dislike how they use the exact same font for every single cover. And the first one looks like really bad clip art. But the rest are cool.

^^the ocean born one is gorgeous *__________*

http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8411/birma9.jpg

Well I have to say that most of those bands use the same font for their band's name because it's like a traidmark I guess just like Evanescence,HIM or Within Temptation do...I honesly hadn't really seen them using a random font. IT's like band's logo pretty much.

More beautiful covers :heart

^With a couple of words substituted, it sounds like an explanation of Angela Aki, doesn't it?

Bright Lights is really really pretty but the rest look kinda... cheap for such a simple concept.

Bright Lights is really really pretty [2] Actually kind of interested in listening to her now.

^
Do it, she's good ^^

^worth it.

^ Oh! I heard that girl when I sat in an airplane! Couldn't remember her name, but thank you!

I did listen to her Bright Lights album. Some of the songs were really amazing. Her voice does take a bit to get used to it, but it was worth it to listen to. Thanks Picaflor xD Wouldn't have ever listened to her if you didn't post the Bright Lights cover.

This thread really is a matter of opinion :P

just a few off the top of my head~

Leaves Eyes! I don't know about that being the best cover but I <3 Liv so good choice.

Is that a Lacrimosa cover I see? One of the last things I expected to see on AHS. Tristania! Although I'm not a fan of Rubicon I like the color used on the cover.

Some more covers

^i LOOOOOVE the kurage nagare boshii cover *________* the whole booklet was just pure gorgeousness

true lol :P lots of the covers posted here look like cheap photoshopping to me and im pretty sure lots of people dont like the covers i posted either XDD

I'm gonna add this single to my next CDJapan / YesAsia order ,just so I can see the booklet. The covers are absolutely gorgeous!

I'm looking at some of these thinking "Are these people high or just stupid??" :P

Did anyone post this one? I love it.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._Amplifier.jpg

These are obviously the best covers in ayu's discography.

I still don't hate S/S ~LiA~ like everybody else. I think they were nice :P

In the same way I actually really like the (miss)understood covers. Don't understand the hate! (I do hate S/S though, sorry)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...an_Version.png

I love this cover so much. And this album for that matter (moreso than LAMB).

^somehow her expression really scares me

Love it :heart
I posted a different one from Asian Kung-Fu Generation :D They are all pretty awesome:D

I don't think they're nice, but I never had this huge hatred towards them like everyone else. :shrug I think they're bad, but I think she has much worse covers so they didn't really shock me like they did with most people.

^they didn't "shock" me either. but I don't like them. terribly fake background (although it's real. lol) The water she's standing in looks like a different color than the background water. Also why are there even bushes of flowers in the ocean anyways? it's like they turned the contrast and the saturation all the way up. Her outfit looks like a mixture between shakira and an amazon woman which has absolutely nothing to do with the concept of the single or the songs. Her face looks weird (especially her "deer in the headlights" eyes, and that annoying "showing your bottom teeth" grit thing she does for everything) Lastly, the font and colors really blend in with the background, I thought the single was text less til I looked near the green bushes where the green letters were.

These reasons are exactly why I dislike the S/S covers as well. I don't have a deep hatred towards them, but they are definitely on the weak side.

(regarding your post with all of the ayu covers) I also dislike the Love Songs Jacket A covers because of her face. It looks as if it's been inflated and/ or her hair got smaller. Also because she has that moe/ Deer in the head lights-ish look, which is quite frankly, disgusting. The other two (B and C) are lovely, though which is weird because the only thing different about them is her expression and head position.

Sorry if I posted these before.

Some lovely covers that I don't think have been posted before:

random i found this one at internet

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/pictures/l/04/24/AZCS-2012.jpg

which album/singer is the cover that has the girl all in pink?

That single is called "Sailing free" and it's by OLIVIA

LOL everytime that the Sailing Free cover pícture is posted somewhere on AHS, someone else is struck by OLIVIA's beauty and the inevitable question comes: Who is she? I hope she is getting fans this way at least!

ROFL I know right! Shameless promotion ftw <3

I watched her mv she's not as pretty in person as she is in the picture but I like her music :p

I love this cover to death. Mostly because the man in it is so unbelievably hot.

i sure hope so, since she's sooooo underrated and totally deserves more sales and recognition

anyways, to keep on topic, i've found these

^ That is really creative! Wow!

^ I agree! It would be so cool to own a CD with a cover like that.
