    Man this is kind of weird but I used to have such a huge passion for music. I just loved listening to all kinds of genres and it made me so happy and it was all I talked about with my friends. In my early twenties I got insanely depressed and fell out of my love for music but this video combined with the album sequencing video has really revived my interest. Great videos man, I'm kind of bummed that I only found your channel recently but I'm looking forward to watching more 😊

    I like to think that he’s crying on the cover for Blonde because his finger hurts which is why it has a bandage
  • @mikail.mp4
    the donda album cover is so powerful, everytime i close my eyes, i see the album cover
  • @evasimpson4022
    Tyler The Creators album covers are always so perfect, each album cover feels like the music in it
  • @lenalu4035
    frank oceans blond cover i think completely encapsulates the essence of the entire album. it transfers a mellow, stoic feeling to the listener. it’s absolutely perfect in every way.
  • @davidshatti2023
    i didn't even know frank was standing in the shower crying, thought he was just standing
  • @Gras_Sho_Pper
    Tame Impala album cover looks exactly like how it sounds.
  • @evanostafin447
    I think Pink Floyd’s wish you were here is one the greatest album covers of all time
  • @Troublelift
    After Hours album cover. Shows the evil, the pain, the regret. Shows that Abel is bleeding out, that he feels he doesn’t have long to live, his facial expression shows him looking down at you capturing the evil and darkness that his music always had. The bright sounds mixed with the evil lyrics. Blinding Lights sounds so bright and fun but when you go into the lyrics it shows a man dying inside, who’s desperate and just wants to be let out of the hellhole that the industry and his event love put him through. It perfectly captures the time it was released unintentionally. Where covid just started and we needed something to mask the year or two we would go through this. And honestly if you just want to find a corner to cry in while it’s raining and dark out while having the lights off and the doors closed with a street light shining through the blinds then this is the one for you. The grandness of After Hours, the darkness and pain of Faith, the upbeat and fun of Blinding Lights, and the shattering of one’s heart in the conclusion of Until I Bleed Out. This album captures just that. A man who’s heart is ripped into pieces by a woman causing him to metaphorically bleed out and die inside.

    Its really impressive how you can make a 12 minute video feel energetic and short
  • @mahdi8835
    It's a classic already. He's giving us a classic.
  • @Jasmainnnnnn
    I’ll never get tired of looking at Childish Gambino’s “AWAKEN, MY LOVE!” Album cover it’s so mesmerizing so much so to the point where I even bought the album cover and every time I have company they always point out and that’s what you call good marketing 😭
  • @theogdw1
    I think modern music streaming services have amplified the importance of album covers. Anything you run Spotify on is showing you the album cover the entire time you listen if you're looking at the screen, and it forces you to associate the cover and the mood of the music if you consume them in conjunction.
  • @kieram4227
    This is why I dislike when songs have those videos playing on Spotify instead of the album art! I feel like the art adds so much to the experience and I'm missing out
  • @IbokRock811
    Gorillaz - Demon Days has always stuck in my mind - and really all of their album art - their art style is so iconic
  • @llbs5403
    every radiohead album covers are masterpiece
  • @heyimtim3531
    man donda’s album cover makes me feel butterflies in my stomach of how expressive and meaningful it looks
  • @koyo5088
    Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here cover is an absolute masterpiece
