Get a job instead of scanning the forum for a similar thread every time a 'noob' creates a thread.

Right. I don't see the point in jumping someone for posting a topic that has been done before. Because even if they do look for an old topic and bump it, everyone is going to bitch about it being brought back.

You can't really win in these situations.

Anyway, my contribution: (They're big, so I'm using links)

I used to think this album cover was stupid, until I realized that the woman was not cradling the man lovingly...

Dude... it's Judith with the head of Holofernes. For people who hate Christianity so much some of you guys know very little about it.

Does anyone know who that painting is by? I have the album so at one point I knew but I forget now and my cd is at home.

Artemesia Gentileschi did some really wonderful paintings on the subject:

I love how strong and self-assured Gentileschi's Judith is. Unlike some other Judith's out there, especially Caravaggio's, that just look small and scared. Not that I'm bashing Caravaggio...just the way he depicted Judith wasn't as convincing.

I find this version of the same thing much 'cleaner':

There's not nearly enough nudity in this thread...

True.

Oh she painted it twice! I didn't know that. Yeah I agree that version is much better.

Is that a mushroom cloud or a birthday cake?

Well, I got the CD for my birthday so it's probably a cake.

This is the first one that came to mind.

"The Winter Wake" has good artwork also. Better in my opinion.

I was under the impression that it was John the Baptist following his beheading, although it does look very similar to this Holofernes fellow.

 

[GhostofSanity]

Ah yes, Morningrise. What a beautiful cover.

Fuck that's what I thought too. And I think I was the one who told you it was John the Baptist. Sorry!
