Best/Worst Album Cover Art For 2002

[mattt]

Just curious, what album do you think has the best artwork this year? I know it really doesnt matter what the cover looks like but it is still cool when there is a cool art job!

id have to say.

--BEST--

Dark Tranquillity
Damage Done

its sort of simple yet its extremely effective and is a good representation of the album i personally think. excellent album too

Dungeon
A Rise To Power

the artwork on this is quite stunning! its a more of a detailed album cover then some others.....its just very very good, full stop

--WORST--

Blaze
Tenth Dimension

awesome fucking album but the album cover is plain and dull.

Aw, thanx for the vote there, man!

We were gonna go for the firey dragon and the mighty knight weilding his metal sword of iron steel and power fighting the eternal glorious wizard of death and his metal brothers of steel.... but we thought better of it...

Primordial- Storm Before Calm

The cover art for Pod People's 'Doom Saloon' is incredible.

Yeah! Have they got a site with a large scan of it so we can see it properly? I saw the one in LOUD! Magazine and even that looked pretty mind-blowing! Kudos to Roy for an awesome job!

Dungeon cover looks great! Though I'm stillllll waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

Ever seen any You Am I album covers? They define shit.

As for best cover, it's hard to say because there are so many.

One of the more recent ones has to be Spock's Beard's 'Snow'.

As for the worst, Anguish's 'Symmetry'. There's nothing quite like knocking one up on the old home computer!

Best
Empyrium "Weiland"
Taake "Bjoergvin"


Worst
Vintersorg "Vsions from the spiral generator"

Satyricon "Volcano"
