Albums are music to one's ears and a feast for one's eyes. Though the former is self-evident, the latter is often forgotten. Album cover art is an art in its own category, not just a mere placeholder image. Over the years of modern music, there have been hundreds of memorable album covers that went along with legendary records. So let's get into the matter of today's post. Adnan Lotia, known as uvupv on Instagram, takes his favorite music album covers and recreates them with LEGO.
Remember how much fun it was to purchase a new CD? To hold the physical copy in your hands, check out the photos included in the multi-page cover spread and read the lyrics straight off the paper. The album art itself is something like a book cover, either drawing people in or turning them off.
Plus, album art tells you more about the artist behind the music, in fact there are certain CD's just as easily identified by their cover art as the music tucked away inside. Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there.

The man was happy to share that over the past year, he has achieved some great things. Over the year, he made more than 800 pictures and gained more than 100,000 followers on social media.
Besides this, his work was acknowledged by the Prime Minister and featured on various media platforms. He even was listed as a Sunday Times Bestselling Author with his book Rubbish Pet Portraits. He also helped to raise over £110,000 for charity making life for those who are struggling a little bit easier. Downloading might be easier, and friendlier to the environment, but as a result CDs are becoming less and less popular.
Just like tape decks went extinct in newer model vehicles, one day so too will CD players. The biggest issue with this revelation is that the cover art associated with album covers is taking a back seat. This is what inspired web design company Aptitude to create a fun series involving old album covers. Digital artist Alfra Martini, also known as aymvisuals, decided to improve music album covers by replacing people and objects with playful images of felines.
The result - a fun series of well-known album covers like you've never seen before. See how others have snuck tacos into their favorite album covers in the archive or better yet, waste more time by submitting your own delicious album cover. The covers of the most famous music albums are iconic in their own right. The images are often very powerful and game changing, and become associated with the artist, the music, and the era itself. Here we have a huge collection of animal pictures but of a very particular kind. Every one of them has a specific altitude so sharp that can easily make an album cover.
When you scroll down the gallery you probably hear some lyrics along the way, that's how inspiring they all look like. These days, album covers may utilize more computer-generated imagery than real photographs, but sometimes, you stumble upon images that would be perfect for them, like these. Whether it they be a flock of pigeons curiously staring at the lens of a camera, or just a group of farm animals relaxing on a lazy Sunday, these clever shots are sure to turn some heads.

Four kids and one Easter Bunny, the classic elements of a bad family photo. For some odd reason, pictures with Easter Bunnies just do not turn out well. The costumes are always so bad, which is why, like in this picture, he's huddled behind the children. The album covers have become so popular the team at Aptitude is already thinking of adding more to the collection. They may even expand into movie and video game covers, other genres that are slowly being taken hostage by download.
Brooklyn-based photographer and graphic designer Alfra Martini has been taking famous album covers and recreating them with cats instead of humans. What's most remarkable is the array of musical genres represented here. Rated the third most influential album cover of all time by Rolling Stone, Nirvana's Nevermind was one that most knew of because of its very naked baby on the album cover.
On July 15, 2015, EastWest announced that the band had finished recording their new album, the follow-up to Centipede Hz. On November 25, the album premiered over the speakers of Baltimore-Washington International Airport, and played on loop until the evening. Using Sony's Music Track ID system, it was discovered that the airport recordings belonged to an unreleased 12-track Animal Collective album entitled Painting With.
A representative of the band responded with "no comment today", while Portner confirmed that "FloriDada", the impending single from the album, would be released on November 30. On November 30, "FloriDada" was released and the album and track listing were officially revealed. The same day, both the LP and CD versions of the album were made available for pre-order. Aptitude explains that people buy the digital copy out of convenience. Short cuts are applied to anything that is 'convenient,' thus eliminating the popularity of album covers.
Musicians use these covers to convey a deeper message about themselves and their music, something no one wants to lose all together. While Aptitude wanted to show off their fun side with these album cover recreations, they also tried to keep them somewhat related to the actual time period the album was produced during. Take this Michael Jackson cover for instance, with talk about the future, a smoking monkey and Jackson actually sporting "dress" shorts. Ever looked at your pet and noticed how much more photogenic they are compared to you? Sometimes it just happens naturally, or are they actually posing? The photos look like real-life animal photoshoots and they are absolute fire.
From a group of dogs in check shirts redefining squad goals to a cat's reflection bringing the moodiest vibes, the animal kingdom is bringing their A-game to the music scene. They are not relying on cliche backdrops, just their natural ability to look cool AF. Choose your pets wisely, and do your research before bringing an animal home. Exotic animals don't always make great pets. Many require special care and live for a long time. Tropical reptiles and small mammals are often traded internationally and may be victims of the illegal pet trade.
Never release animals that have been kept as pets into the wild. In the classic spoof docu-drama, Britain's greatest heavy metal band wanted to issue their Smell The Glove album with a sexist photo on the cover. The record company said no to this, so the compromise was a tribute to The Beatles and the soundtrack album followed suit.
"Is this the one with Bizarre Love Triangle on? The bride is beautiful in a shimmering white dress, the groom is handsome (look at those sideburns!), and they're locking eyes like they're meant for one another. This is the kind of picture you proudly hang on the wall until the end of their happy lives, and every year look back on it and laugh — despite the corny look. A few kids take a ride with the ponies, which was undoubtedly a good time, but the real star of this show is the handler.
We don't know if he hiked up his shirt to show off his sweet six-pack just for the picture, but it looks just as natural as a Hollywood starlet. From dogs with three legs to cats without eyes, the Perfect Imperfection photo series celebrates the intrinsic beauty of animals who have overcome adversity and adapted to a physical impairment. All of these animals were rescued from their former lives and given a second chance by kind and caring humans.
Of course, without any fault of these innocent animals who just cannot seem to hold a pose or want to photobomb. We've seen some examples of censorship in the Middle-East before but Iranian music streaming siteMelovazdecided to take it to the extreme. The site completely removed all female singers from their own album covers, leaving them completely empty.
Got a spare minute (or 60?) Head to Slow Robot and check out its massive and constantly updated collection of funny, cute, and thought-provoking pictures from around the Web. There is plenty of album art that is so terrible, it should never, ever be seen again. Here are some very illustrative examples (via Bored Pandawhere you'll find the full gallery). Someone was quite serious about these projects, too. Add New Image Add Your Photo To This List Please use high-res photos without watermarks Upload Photo Ooops!
Your image is too large, maximum file size is 8 MB. The pair have since been recreating iconic music videos and album covers by Madonna, from True Blue to 'Hung Up', and it's rather glorious. See how the cat album covers stack up to the originals by following Martini's ongoing endeavor on Tumblr. It reminds me of an old competition to make album covers using the random feature of wikipedia to give the name, then a random image.
Green anacondas are well adapted to aquatic life. Their nose and eyes are located on the top of their heads to help them see and breathe while swimming in the water. Anacondas that live in areas that flood seasonally must find water during the dry season or burrow into the mud. More Factory Records LOLZ - for Vini Reilly's debut album, the label decided to attach an actual piece of sandpaper to the front cover. The rather punk rock idea was that it would destroy other records in your collection.
The sandpaper was glued to the sleeves by various members of Factory bands, including Ian Curtis of Joy Division. That isn't to say the kids aren't happy — in fact, this is one of the happier photos on the list. Yet it's Mom who is cuddling in close with the jolly old elf. These kids might soon see mommy kissing Santa Claus. This entire family is having a good time meeting the big man from the North Pole, but one person, in particular, is jazzed to make sure he knows what present to bring.
Yes, out of the five people pictured, Mom is the one who is most excited about the idea of a Christmas photo. This gal's lovable family dog lasted a good long time — from 2000 to 2015 — and the memories of the pooch are helped by this delightfully awkward picture. It wouldn't be too far of a stretch to say that many of us have a similar picture hiding somewhere in our photo albums.
The biggest surprise in this picture is that none of the kids look like their lives are flashing before their eyes, but for kids, that does go pretty quickly. Their expressions range from happy smiles to confused stares at the camera, which seems to ignore the thing hovering behind them. While the kids and the grandparents are perfectly aware there's a picture being taken, it caught Dad unaware.
Was he having a bad hair day, and decided that his good side was where the sun usually doesn't shine? We wonder if this one ever got hung up on the wall. Maybe she's a fitness model, and this was just an extra one they threw in with the kids to have some fun.
That little guy with the unfortunate mohawk is having a good time, at least. The older son, who also has an unfortunate haircut, isn't putting as much effort into it. The daughter has a big bright smile on, however. The younger child, the son, doesn't have any problem with what's going on. Only the daughter isn't a fan of what's happening.
No doubt this is one of those pictures the parents keep around just to embarrass her later in life. The pictures on this list are usually awkward because of the people. The family in this one, however, has nothing wrong about them. The parents and kids staged the whole thing to make fun of this kind of past-time family portraits.

While dogs are chill, and cats are even more chill, reptiles could be considered the most chill due to their cold-blooded nature.
