middle of the cover. All the surrounding is very dark so they are the principal subject of the album cover. The only light present in this image comes in front of the hands, and it makes all the particular detailed. All the anatomical details are very visible and they make the hands realistic. At the height of the wrists there are many spider webs that link the hands to the two bottom corners of the album cover. Right above the palms of the hands there is a bird that flies up to the top of the cover

Jazz Albums as Art In the Process of Completing Research for This Issue, I Realized That What I Want to Say May Be Divided into Two Sections. Part One Surveys the General Topic of Album Art; Part Two (Outlined in the Accompanying Sidebar) Considers the Conspicuous Absence of Black Artists from the Process of Designing Jazz Packages: Covers, Liner Notes Etc. This Second Part Will Be Published in an Upcoming Issue.--R.G.O'M. The enclosed portfolio of album cover art springs from my ongoing

pioneering synth-pop darlings MGMT released its snoozefest self-titled album. Considering the sound of Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser has deteriorated ever since its stunning debut album Oracular Spectacular, expecting a revelatory follow up to its 2013 project seemed farfetched. While I was pleasantly surprised by the first three singles of MGMT’S latest album Little Dark Ages, hesitancy remained as I delved into the entire album, but color me shocked, because the duo’s latest installment is the

Dreams To people they can be just an unreachable goal Or an unattainable desire. They can beacons of hope Or just simply just a wish you hope that comes true one day. To some people they seem like silly thoughts And things we should not waste our time on. To others its they are only silver of hope they have lost all hope. It can mean to others their goals or even how they want life to be. Or just something that occurs when you fall asleep To me Dreams were the only thing that I had to

Ones is the third studio album and the first concept album by one of my favourite bands, Black Veil Brides. Despite the album being released back in early 2013 and me not getting my copy of it until mid 2014 I’m still absolutely in love with almost every song on this album. I wasn’t much of a BVB fan back then, only hearing them being compared to Blood On The Dance Floor, but once I heard this album I fell in love and realised those comparisons were not true at all. The album opens with Exordium, the

Meat Loaf’s album ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ was released in 1977, and is considered by many as an iconic album cover. In 2001, it was rated 71st in Q Magazine’s listing of ‘The 100 Best Album Covers of All Time’. Singer Meat Loaf and composer Jim Steinman commissioned the cover artwork from the renowned comic artist Richard Corben, best known for his sci-fi and fantasy work. Corben’s illustration effectively advertises the album 's contents to the target audience as well as creating the beginnings of a visual

Confidence. If I got anything out of this album, it would be absolute confidence in myself. There’s nothing worse then someone who is just stuck in a rut of what they call their own life, and doesn’t know how to get the hell up out of their funk, grow a pair, and just move on! Listen to Sleeper Agents album About Last Night, and trust me, you’ll feel more sure of yourself then you ever have before. Alex Kandel’s edgy, yet inspirational, voice instantly lured me in, reminding me of a younger, more

Album covers are an important aspect in the music culture and industry. Many album covers vary, depending on the artist itself and music genres. However, all album covers are meticulously designed to represent an artist’s vision and work from their music. Musicians will choose an album artwork that represents them and their music. BADLANDS by Halsey and True Colors by Zedd are respectable examples of artists who choose their covers based on their inspirations. These two album covers are well thought

"Poison" By All Time Low I've got a house in the back of my head But I can't find a permanent resident 'Cause the market's down And the area's not so good these days I've got a watch but I don't have time I've got a road and it leads to decadence But a dead end sign waits down the line I leave my footprints for the evidence So take my life, I'll hand it to you And you can try on my clothes But you can't fill these shoes On a silver platter your wish came true So your heart of gold turned platinum

Florida to New York, they immediately got the attention of the indie world when their album Summertime was released.

They became an irresistible and popular band in the summer of 2009. The Summertime record has become the perfect upbeat and post-punk summer fling album to have.

For this assignment I will be talking about the album cover to Death of a Bachelor by my favorite band, Panic! At The Disco. This album art is for their fifth album after all the original band members have left besides Brendon Urie (pictured in the album art), who is the lead singer, songwriter and now producer for the band. I am drawn specifically to this album art because there are many different elements of digital art in this cover. Artist Nicole Guice is who helped make this cover. They took

Am pretty sure my admiration for progressive rock concept albums started back when I started seriously getting into collecting record albums. As a kid in my single digits, I had 45's (singles) and whatever else one not quite a teenager yet would have, including the first Partridge Family album (1970). To my credit, I was never interested in what pop songs 'The Brady Bunch' was putting out, but I'll admit I did have a boyhood crush on Marcia (Maureen McCormick). Along came my teen years. From hanging

I: Alright so I'm just gonna ask some general comments about the album. So what's your initial response to the visual album? (pause) Just initial response after watching it. 1: Well thought out. 5: It's a lot. Just in your face (laughs) from like from the beginning to end which I think is something that's really needed because a lot of things like you address each issue individually and like there's this social media push than just having it all be together I think was nice. I: Any other reactions

Exhibition Overview: Among the many fabulous pieces of art housed at the DMA, there lies a hidden gem that has yet to be on display. The Album of La Revue Blanche, a collection of prints commissioned by the late 19th century Parisian anarchist journal, provides not only an insight into popular fin-de-siècle French print culture, but also a beautiful case-study in the techniques developed by leading artists in the realm of fine art lithography.

must have been unbelievably frightening, for one was unsure of when they would be collected and where the would be taken away too. All just because of their religious beliefs or the fact they may be considered “undesirable”. Whereas in “The Family Album” they explained more about how the Jews were before their life changed forever. Neufeld does not go to explain the way they felt during the tough times of the Nazi ruling. However, he instead talks about how life was instantly changed when no one saw

Grace, the only album released by artist Jeff Buckley, due to his untimely death, contained a number of his original songs as well as some covers. This album released in 1994, sold “only modestly but was warmly received by critics” (Simon and Schuster, 2001), and gained Buckley immense respect as an artist. His song “Lover, you should’ve come over” was evidence that Buckley was a talented artist who was not only an excellent performer but an excellent songwriter who could craft melodies and words

Album Covers and Rhetoric Reflection Album covers are often designed to portray a message and show the theme of the music. In class, my group and I analyzed War by U2.
