I miss albums, and album covers.
Stupid (new) technology!

Y’all need to quit posting pictures of multiple album covers in a single post. Just when I’m ready to like your post, you also pictured a freaking dud album cover on there, and I can’t like it

I mean @SnidelyWhiplash , Siren is amazing! And then…. A bunch of hideous bald heads??

I have a " hideous bald head ", so it's relatable...

I want to listen to music, not read " War & Peace "...

That's one of those records that I had to make sure was in the back of the crate in my bedroom in case my Mom delivered a load of folded laundry while I was at school.

The The's Matt Johnson gave his brother Andy free rein on the design of his album covers.

Are you really unaware that albums are still being produced and that you can still buy and play them?

Pretty much all Blue Note covers are great:

Merely being a (silly) old man.
I know vinyl has had a resurgence.
I once had really nice stereo systems, with light tracking cartridges, a direct drive turntable, and high quality tape recorders.
I had Bose and JBL speakers.
Some people don’t like Bose, I loved mine.
Ancient history.
I actually get all my music off of YouTube, played on my IPad.
Arguably “no-fi”.
I used to buy 2-5 vinyl albums every payday, from 1977-1985.
I’d obsessively pore over the cover art, and every detail on it.
I'd study who wrote the songs, produced the record, who took the pictures, who played on them, yada yada.
Probably just like most of “us” Boomers on the forum, I’d bet.
Some things WERE better, "in my day".
So, I was (mostly) just kidding.
