Community Description – Album Artwork Heaven

It is an community about album covers so the music itself isn't necessarly good music

Welcome to Album Artwork Heaven β€” a cozy corner of Lemmy dedicated to celebrating the visual side of music! πŸŽΆπŸ–ΌοΈ
This community is all about sharing, discovering, and appreciating album covers, music-related artwork, and the creative design that brings sound to life through imagery. Whether it’s vintage vinyl sleeves, modern digital art, obscure indie releases, or iconic classics β€” if it’s beautiful, striking, or just plain weird, it belongs here.

Very Loose Rules:

  1. Keep it music-related – Posts should feature album art, cover art, or artwork directly tied to a musical release (EPs, singles, mixtapes, etc. count too!).
  2. Be respectful – No hate speech, harassment, or spam. Critique art, not people.
  3. Credit when possible – If you know the artist, designer, or band, please mention them! (But don’t worry if you’re not sure.)
  4. No NSFW without tagging – If an album cover contains nudity please mark it as NSFW.
  5. Have fun and share generously! – This is a low-pressure zone for art and music lovers. Re-posts are fine, obscure gems are encouraged, and enthusiasm is always welcome.

Come for the covers, stay for the sonic stories behind them. 🎧✨

That cover doesn't fit the title. The cover seems to be from a tribute to Primus. The original cover is this one. The link also links to the tribute and not the original work.

Albumcover: Primus - Sailing The Sees of Cheese

A quote from "that other site" that sums it up well: "When they first got started, Les used to introduce the band as, "Hey we're Primus and we suck." It became the fan chant from there. In recent years, Les has said he wouldn't mind if it went away. They don't hate it, but I doubt they love it."

Primus sold T-shirts that just said "Primus sucks"
