They say, don’t judge a book by its cover. In music, don’t judge the songs from its album cover.
On the other hand, music album covers nowadays are screaming into perfection, an endless battle of minimalism and artistic approach. And this is still art.
Sometimes, you listen to music and it just gets to you. Some days, you look at their covers, get inspired by it, and then fully understand it. Visual aesthetics still bring us into a different dimension only we can understand.
