Paraph 826 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) i couldn't find this topic. if it exists feel free to close as necessary. i know there's a "worst jrock cd cover" thread, but how about ✨best? ✨ spreading those positive vibes. one of my favourites has always been protoplasm by rentrer en soi. i've always dug the photo, and ryo's heels tbh. also i think this is when they first stylized their logo differently, and i stan (stun?) another gem is 4u -mary gold- by d'air. it's pretty simplistic but i've always found it endearing. their covers kind of went downhill from here tbqh but the bops forever remain. for something more current, i'm really digging the inferiority complex and narcissism cover by rands. i think the overall design is pretty gorgeous. kinda wishing they had done it in a digipak format, though.

CAT5 9075 Posted February 5, 2019 I've always been fond of the cover for Downy's 5th Untitled album: Not only is it interesting to look at, but something about it just captures their bleak, dystopian sound so well. The cover to sleepy.ab's "palette" is another favorite: 6 Anne Claire, Jigsaw9, Gesu and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkeybanana4 1732 Posted February 5, 2019 Really always enjoyed Moran's single/album covers. I love their L'oiseau blue single and their All Time Best album covers. Spoiler Also thought of Kagrra's last album. Beautiful and enticing to look at its duality theme (between the two different versions).

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted February 5, 2019 For some reason I'm really attracted to stylish/stylized covers featuring only band members so here's a batch reflecting that. BUCK-TICK - 悪の華 BOØWY - BEAT EMOTION Laputa - 私が消える Madeth gray'll - Lucifer ~魔境に映る呪われた罪人達と生命の終焉~ SOFT BALLET - DOCUMENT Might come back here later and make another post with my fave pieces of artwork not featuring actual musicians, lol. 6 3 CAT5, Anne Claire, VESSMIER and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mejibray - Emotional【KARMA】 tRiPpY 4. sukekiyo - ADORATIO 5. kein - 自責と蠱毒 this is creepy af 6. メリー - アンダーワールド just look at this creature!

ghost 2687 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) These are mine 9goats black out Spoiler devils in bedside There's an ominous calm about the cover and it's just really hard to tell what the music will sound like. You just have to listen to find out. D'espairsRay Spoiler Coll:Set I love the imagery and theme here and how a spectrum of darks and lights are achieved using different intensities of blue. Gemini The colors and imagery are unsettling and I get a real The Shining vibe here. Dir en Grey Spoiler Agitated Screams of Maggots The environment feels so otherwordly and hostile. Then you see that little innocent looking fairy is the creature that did this. Cage The cover feels really clean with it's white color palette, but having that tube of blood there makes it feel really dirty. I love the composition too, starting from the face, then the eyes that you follow to the finger dipped in blood, all the way down the large stretch of red blood ending at the band's name and single title. GazettE Spoiler Regret I really like the aesthetic of all the single from this era, but this one is my favorite. Hankou Seimei Bun I just like this one because I think it looks like Leonardo Dicaprio screaming angrily Sadie Spoiler Gain I think this is a real life museum piece? I dig how creepy this wall of faces is. @Paraph Karte is on my list too! I didn't post it since you already did. "Any" is probably one of my favorite 9goats song.

Gesu 1537 Posted February 5, 2019 I'm quite fond of DIAURA's Focus album cover. Regular: Limited edition: And how could I forget DELUHI's Vandalism album cover? It's my go-to profile pic on a lot of sites. Also, every Lycaon album cover with Yuuki on it because daaaamn. 5 spockitty, PIZAZ, CAT5 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paraph 826 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) another current cover i really liked was 高潮トキシコーシス (kouchou toxicosis) by ヴァージュ(virge) it really gives me that old school vk vibe from the early 2000's. Spoiler also really digging this DÄLLE - Destroyed To Discord, And The Reason album cover recently. big mood and i don't even know why. a+ Spoiler Edited February 6, 2019 by Paraph 2 Gesu and spockitty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
