Best Ever Album Covers by 
AAL2014 
Here we find the records that offer something great before you even press play on them.
To make this chart, I considered a few things including the photography/imagry and color pallet that appeals to me the most, how well each cover helped convey the story of the music held inside, and simply which covers were too iconic to ignore.
Like my main charts, this one will always be a fun work in progress. Feel free to shoutout some recommendations in the comments!

One of the great strengths of the Flower Boy album cover is how it represents that whole few-year, pre-Igor era of Tyler. The colors are vibrant, the visual concept is interesting and well executed, and the figure of The Creator himself stands in a contemplative awe of the world he has sculpted around him.

An amazing color scheme and it so perfectly matches right up to the record’s musical tones and demeanor.
One of my favorite vinyl sleeves ever. [First added to this chart: 11/15/2021]
