Seeing as how I visualize album covers while I listen to albums, I find it weird that you guys claim you don't pay any attention to it.
The cover sets the tone. It paints the mental pictures.
GKMC and TPAB had incredible covers
no it doesn't...the actual lyrics of the songs do. what i look like thinking of
throughout every song on blueprint
yall are trying way too hard with overstating the importance/correlation of album artwork to the music (appreciating dope album covers as dope art is a whole different thing and understandable).
shyt, from ~00-2011, i didn't see 90% of the album covers of the music i listened to since it was all downloaded. since then i've been streaming, so i see artwork but it doesn't affect me one way or another.
