@bestsnail8256 2 жыл бұрын
the reason why I like the orange square is because it reminds me of going into a dusty ass record store or even a yard sale and finding LPs with stickers or post-it notes on them. to me it encapsulates part of that old-head vibe that DOOM encompasses

29:00 the front of the DAMN. vinyl cover, aka the regular DAMN. album cover, conceptualizes wickedness as seen by the way kendrick looks down at you, where as the back of the vinyl cover, aka the green DAMN. cover, shows an alternative kendrick standing and looking at you in a sort of "weak" way, conceptualizing weakness. this also ties into the fact that red and green are opposite colors, and the dark red is used for wickedness while the light green is used for weakness

The Donda cover is something I was mad about on release but I do gotta admit it matches the stark and cold atmosphere of the music pretty well. Plus, being a gospel album, I do feel like it elicits a more powerful, primordial, larger than life quality than any of the more angelic promo art did. Like the God it tributes is so beyond comprehension that no single image could ever do it justice. Definitely an idea that's been tossed around a lot historically, too. I like it. I think it's ok, maybe like a B.

For a suggestion I would say Midnight by Set It Off. It's so aesthetic and captures the feel of the album perfectly. It also references one of the songs, Hourglass, with sand. The hands have 12 fingers, there's a digital 12:00, 'midnight' written in the back to reference the title. I think it's so beautiful and I love the little details.
