Man this is kind of weird but I used to have such a huge passion for music. I just loved listening to all kinds of genres and it made me so happy and it was all I talked about with my friends. In my early twenties I got insanely depressed and fell out of my love for music but this video combined with the album sequencing video has really revived my interest. Great videos man, I'm kind of bummed that I only found your channel recently but I'm looking forward to watching more 😊

Disagree big time. His album covers suck, but it does kind of fit because he's a very low-effort artist. The only 2 that I think work in terms of aesthetic are Goblin and Flower Boy. Igor almost gets there. But Tyler is and always will be lame, because he genuinely is talented but he cops out at every opportunity because from the beginning he cultivated an unquestioningly loyal OF fanbase. He is a Juggalo, basically. Face the truth.

@Troublelift Год назад

After Hours album cover. Shows the evil, the pain, the regret. Shows that Abel is bleeding out, that he feels he doesn’t have long to live, his facial expression shows him looking down at you capturing the evil and darkness that his music always had. The bright sounds mixed with the evil lyrics. Blinding Lights sounds so bright and fun but when you go into the lyrics it shows a man dying inside, who’s desperate and just wants to be let out of the hellhole that the industry and his event love put him through. It perfectly captures the time it was released unintentionally. Where covid just started and we needed something to mask the year or two we would go through this. And honestly if you just want to find a corner to cry in while it’s raining and dark out while having the lights off and the doors closed with a street light shining through the blinds then this is the one for you. The grandness of After Hours, the darkness and pain of Faith, the upbeat and fun of Blinding Lights, and the shattering of one’s heart in the conclusion of Until I Bleed Out. This album captures just that. A man who’s heart is ripped into pieces by a woman causing him to metaphorically bleed out and die inside.

I think modern music streaming services have amplified the importance of album covers. Anything you run Spotify on is showing you the album cover the entire time you listen if you're looking at the screen, and it forces you to associate the cover and the mood of the music if you consume them in conjunction.

@alphachestnut Год назад

I can see where you're coming from, but I personally disagree, especially in comparison to physical copies like vinyl. For spotify, you're basically just staring at a small .jpg image of the album cover. For vinyl, you're literally holding the album cover itself

On Discovery, the silver and rainbow makes you feel like a child ready to experience this vibrant album. Human After All gives you the dark, eerie vibe of how pixelated TV, and Random Access Memories’ gold and silver helmets makes you feel the classiness they want you to feel when listening to the album.

The cover for the album rush of blood to the head by coldplay really gives you that feeling of fading away especially with the songs being mellow at points and being loud at points. This shows with the context that this album has since it was created in the memory of 911. Even the singles from the album have there own take on the cover and its really just amazing

@Galactic_GD 2 года назад

Totally agree - when the only image in your mind is the album cover when listening to an album, it becomes a super important factor to the overall experience

@mwangiwanjau5368 3 года назад

The reason I love DAMN. so much is partly because of the cover. Kendrick's facial expression says so much about the album, the names and themes of each song all add up to his realization that "I can't change the world until I change myself". One of the greatest albums from the 2010s

I've always loved both of the GKMC covers they both feel so powerful and they both set the tone very well along with the fact that the album itself is amazing and can correlate a bit to the covers and its overall theme feels very nostalgic which is yet again brought up when the tracks end with the little tape at the end
