$425 - Slipknot “Ltd. Edition slime green vinyl” - Slipknot (mint condition, cover:Mint album:Mint) Dm for any info/questions.
How much emphasis do you place on your album/singles/mixtape art? Do you have an aesthetic you go for? Does the art direction change with each project?
I personally place great emphasis on the cover art because its apart of the whole package. The album art may not be music, but it still contributes to the music imo. I change the art direction with each album and how i categorize them. For example, My “6 series” of albums are based on Long Beach, CA scenery. My upcoming album’s art will be inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Another great point about nice art is that can be make or break. I know i would have NEVER listened to Stove God Cooks’ reasonable drought if it wasnt for Roc Marciano, because that art is FUGLY.
New Music Friday is the weekly thread dedicated to cataloging all the Album/EP releases that came out this week, including non-subreddit relevant releases. This is also a great place to discuss these albums, or bring to attention other albums released this week. ❓ "this seems intriguing after a cursory look"
