Title: Best Album Covers
Post by: jadetree on September 16, 2003, 01:36:00 pm

I just noticed how similar these three album covers are, are we losing good cover art in the mp3 world, what are the best covers from the last couple of years.

I had noticed a couple years ago how several English, especially Manchester, bands were using lower legs and feet. Maybe it's an offshoot of that same school of album cover design.
