I’ve never really understood this stance, yet it seems to be very common around here. Do you guys only buy albums to look at? Like I’ve got plenty of albums I love spinning but I don’t care for the album cover, but it doesn’t matter because I can literally put the sleeve back on the shelf while I listen if it’s that big of a deal. If I only bought albums with covers I liked, I’d be missing lots of great albums.

 

After streaming platforms, I usually only buy albums that I really like or that I like the cover.

 

I'm the Queen of buying useless stuff only because I found it pretty. Superficial, but that's how I do. Especially because I'm not a consumerist. I always ask myself if I need something or if I just want it before buying. So my shop for "pretty things" or useless stuff is always on my birthday or Christmas to gift myself.

 

The only reason that I buy records that I really like, it's to save them for my kids and for not be too dependent on technology. 

 

I usually only buy 2 or 3 records per year, so I have to be highly critical to narrow down my list (especially because they are not cheap on my country)

 

Spoiler

And I also got into many artists due to their artwork. I don't really like The Smashing Pumpkins, but I listen to them and have some records just because of the cover. 

 

My logic is screw up

Maybe she's using the selfie for everything to surprise us with the Nadia Lee serve album cover and photoshoot  

I mean except when she posts bts pics we never know when she films stuff or has photoshoots so...

We didn't have a scat attack this era. That's why we're not getting any news.

 

Halsey fans, do something 

[plastiscguy 63,430]

 

Okay, but Lana having an evil twin is such a fun concept I want Evil/Baddie Del Rey back for this era

I think it was right after cocc and after her RCS announcement

No Godlymoon slander allowed here.

I mean this in the nicest way possible but  i really cannot believe some of y’all like these selfie picsart covers... the bar is on the literal ground

Not stockholm syndrome but i actually like the covers, she looks fucking stunning in them. I love how it looks like she's rotting in them too, they look like holes in her chest, it also looks like the straps on her top are torn in the black and white pic too? She's giving me david lynch vibes. I think we're being overdramatic about the pictures, this is obviously an artistic choice in my opinion, and Lana has always been one step ahead, people never understood her until it was too late. I'm totally here for the single covers. I do hope the album cover is something different though

 

I agree, especially if they are meant to be decaying progressively. It's unexpected and one of my favorite visual choices she's made in a while. I found the last one sincerely unsettling and with that one they all sort of clicked. Eerie Lana is my favorite and the crunchy old Internet style customization Aloha blonde gives me Lizzy diy as opposed to LMLYLAW video diy so that's a plus

 

If whoever was right about them representing progressively darker singles... Dealer next

i think it's mostly just appreciating what we have and finding things that we like about it, obviously a professional single/album cover, or something that's better edited, would be ideal, but we have a very... unique single/album cover, yet it's not entirely terrible, for example, the little details such as the "bruises" and the distorted filters, and it is a very beautiful selfie

Yeah, it's time to let Jack go.

At least we're having a concept.

 

Do I like it? No, I don't.

Am I going to buy the physical copy? Also no, because I'm not obligated to look to that hideous cover

 

 

 

It's better accept than stress over something that we can't change

 

Lmao same sis I just can't buy an ugly looking album. I also hate when the cover is overly sexual like The Pretty Reckless or Bauhaus when you can see the guy's hairy ball sack unless it's very arsty. Same for depressing 90s rock/metal covers.
