Top 50 ‘Free’ CD Covers Showdown
2008-03-05 15:00:04
This is my first in a series of CD Cover Showdown s—a showcase of 50 sleeves from the past few decades, that use a particular word or phase in their album title. Why? Because I think it is interesting to contrast the varied styles and approaches to these designs for any given word—and take a look [...]

Get Cape Wear Young Knives Fly?
2008-03-02 18:14:08
Yeah, this is a rather mixed-up title for a kind of strange review…well, more like an album art face-off. The image below shows the new Get Cape Wear Cape Fly CD Cover for Searching for the Hows and Whys. Hmmm, weird, yes—but I’ve seen something similar before. The album Voices of Animals and Men by The [...]

That Guillemots CD is Red, so Get Over It!
2008-03-25 12:21:55
The Guillemots are hardly a famed-bunch for fantastic album artwork—take a look at Through the Windowpane for example, but when I saw the design for the single Get Over It (below), I simply gasped. Why? Because, after hearing the track (and incidentaly liking it) I pondered the reason why the CD design was simply a [...]
