Yes, all of them look awful and not memorable in the least. Thank you, Ariana, for ruining album covers

I haven't checked out Blue Banisters but from what I had seen, I don't think that is the album cover, an up-close selfie of her.

The art of making album covers is basically dead at this point. Most people aren't buying vinyls or CD and stans will buy the physical regardless of what's on the cover. What's the point in investing in the design of what will mostly be a small jpg in the corner of someone's screen.

They were official single covers right? Just saying.

GUTS cover is kind of nice though. It's not "boring" tbh. Okay, there's not much going on or happening in it, but the 4 letter rings and thumb in mouth add some character to it I guess?

It literally looks like it could've been part of the SOUR album shoot though. :skull:

Just another aspect of arts lost to minimalism out of countless ones.

Lorde literally tried to use s*x on the cover to sell her last album :rip: It didn't work though.

Let's not act like this has anything to do with recent times. You can find simple covers within every era. And simple doesn't mean bad. Olivia's covers are simple but very well thought out in colour scheme and composition. Sometimes less is more.

And since you're adding in back covers as well let's just throw in this masterpiece

off-topic + Solar Power is a stunning cover art that perfectly matches the vibe & themes of the album. you understand what you're getting into without even hearing anything. it looks so good on vinyl too.

and what is Chemtrails Over The Country Club proving with her misaligned & cheap cover art? is this woman who sings the album? are the songs about her?

I don't tend to like covers that are just random catalogue-style glamour shots.

 

Hilary Duff's entire catalogue is a good example of this. Nothing but pretty close ups.

talking about album covers in a thread about album covers isn't off topic + breathe, it's not that deep :rip:

Don't worry. That user has made a life out of posting a comment that will get reactions, then stans reacts, then they call you for being off-topic, then report you. Rinse and repeat.
