Community Description – Album Artwork Heaven

It is an community about album covers so the music itself isn't necessarly good music

Welcome to Album Artwork Heaven — a cozy corner of Lemmy dedicated to celebrating the visual side of music! 🎶🖼️
This community is all about sharing, discovering, and appreciating album covers, music-related artwork, and the creative design that brings sound to life through imagery. Whether it’s vintage vinyl sleeves, modern digital art, obscure indie releases, or iconic classics — if it’s beautiful, striking, or just plain weird, it belongs here.

Very Loose Rules:

  1. Keep it music-related – Posts should feature album art, cover art, or artwork directly tied to a musical release (EPs, singles, mixtapes, etc. count too!).
  2. Be respectful – No hate speech, harassment, or spam. Critique art, not people.
  3. Credit when possible – If you know the artist, designer, or band, please mention them! (But don’t worry if you’re not sure.)
  4. No NSFW without tagging – If an album cover contains nudity please mark it as NSFW.
  5. Have fun and share generously! – This is a low-pressure zone for art and music lovers. Re-posts are fine, obscure gems are encouraged, and enthusiasm is always welcome.

Come for the covers, stay for the sonic stories behind them. 🎧✨

I wish they kept making music after crack the skye. I wish they made an air album.

Not sure what you’re talking about. Crack the Skye is the air (ether as they called it) album. Then there’s 4 more albums after that.

Crack the Skye is the air (ether as they called it) album.

They specified several times that it's for aether as in "the space between things" and not air.

According to an interview on the DVD The Making of Crack the Skye, the album represents the element of aether, which is represented by the souls and spirits of all things, a theme closely related to the context of the album. Because the elements of fire, water and earth have already been represented by the band's first three albums Remission, Leviathan, Blood Mountain, the element of air is the only classical element which has yet to be represented by a Mastodon album.

Nope. Maybe they'll get back together and make great music together again now that Brent died.

sometimes on the internet people joke that things they don't like don't exist.

Spooky, I had Mastodon playing in my head as I scrolled down to this.
