Top 10 Music Album Covers Featuring Buildings

It reminds me very much of the visuals and mood of Wes Craven's "Left House on the Left". Which is good because I really love the movie.

My mind says "it has all the elements you love about cover. Water is always fascinating and you love science fiction, plus it looks shiny and that always looks awesome."

But my heart says it somehow looks a bit cheesy and set up. I can't tell why because my mind is actually right.

Very very very atmospheric. Is someone here an art expert? I don't know why but I like this cover so terribly much.

Martin_Canine - thanks for the compliment. No, I am no an art expert.

Would be an explanation, but he has used the term "the 6" before, refering to Toronto and its area code 416. I didn't know this was a particular building and therefore didn't know it was a literal depiction of Views from Toronto. But maybe the 6th level thing was intentional as a double entendre.

Working title "Views from the 6" may refer to the 6th level of the tower where he sits. On the image you see only 5 levels but there's a ground level so he's on the 6th.
And yes, I can see a "I don't care if I fall down and die" attitude".

Much like "Fashionably Late" by Falling in Reverse, but on a much bigger scale.

I never liked this cover very much, I prefer the cover to Led Zeppelin IV.

This movie has the most stunning visuals ever captured on film. This album cover artwork perfectly captures the cyberpunk vibe, while at the same time resembling a classic film noir movie poster.

The Birthday Massacre. I love their unique atmosphere. They are a lot like "Alice: Madness Returns". There is the child-like dream of Wonderland but horror and creepiness waits in every corner. That's what the album covers show. There are kids playing next to a playground, they wear bunny ears and the sun starts setting. Should be fun, right? Kids letting out their imagination. But the way this is filmed is just so morbid and dark. Especially this obviously abandoned skeleton of a house.

Yeah, I like this. I'd like it even more if not all of their covers would lool exactly the same.

I think this is the image that helped put Battersea Power Station on the map as a landmark. Plus, I love the grimy texture of the image.

Oh I love this album! The witty word play and puns, the complex rhymes, the laid back and funnily over the top megalomania, the cheesy beats, the carefree attitude that Kollegah never again showed on any other album (he's mostly sinister and menacing), the obvious smell of cannabis emerging from the boxes as soon as you press play... it is such a wonderful album that gave me so many good vibes.

That being said... wow, this cover sucks.

Yeah, this is okay. It's not as disastrously photoshopped as his self titled album (still is though) and since Kollegah became more mascular and hairy in the meantime he doesn't look like a milksob anymore that's trying to look like a tough businessman. The coke line in the shape of a maple leaf (he's of Canadian descent) is a fun detail. It is no way near perfect and everything after this album has eight times the quality (this was his breakthrough so more effort was put into his more recent work), but it is okay.

Unfortunately, the album is his worst.

You can see from the cover that they tried to establish themselves as a more serious rock band. It looks rather like a Coldplay album like one from an emo band.

I don't know if this even counts, as technically it only depicts a helmet which reflects the house.
