Crazy Cover Art
There are good album covers. There are intentionally provocative album covers (we’re talking to you, Adam Lambert). And this one blows them all away. This 2009 release by the band Wallpaper comes bundled with special glasses that make the cover virtually explode in bursts of color. Don’t know anything about their music, but we’re intrigued by the cover. Not your standard band-in-studio shot. Any LP cover that requires glasses or special equipment to view is tops in our book.
Asking more of an audience is nothing new. The Flaming Lips released their 1999 album Zaireeka in a format that could only be listened to by pressing play at the same time on four(!) different CD players.
If you want to compare this cover with some utterly strange album art of the past, check out the Bizarre Records website for a fun viewing experience. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
