    I like the two variations of this cover

    album-Queen-The-Miracle.jpg

    and then its counterpart, used for the single of the album

    Ok I love the covers for these two albums because I always thought that the names of each song were depicted in them.

    In Awake you have The Mirror, 6:00 (With the clock in the moon), always thought the statue could be the Silent Man, the planets in the back Space Dye Vest, the man in the mirror seems to be disappearing which could be Innocence Faded, the spider in the web is obviously Caught in a Web.
    The way the image is in colour in the mirror instead of grey could possibly be Lifting Shadows off a Dream.

    As for Images and Words it's not as easy.

    The moon could be Under a Glass Moon. The bed could be Wait for Sleep and the little kid could be the "Sleeper" for Metropolis part 1. The flaming heart might be interpreted as the "Miracle"

    Again, some may be far fetched but those covers always made me think :P

    Think its the same for BC&SL. Find it a great idea, love trying to link the songs to the images.

    Rather than an endless parade of pictures I'd like to hear people explain why they like the particular album cover. What do you find so interesting about that Deicide cover fartmaster?

    what this one...

    lets just say Thrashy/death metal album covers are brilliant for their artistic impressions, they are beautifully grotesque at the same time! glen Benton (lead singer) looks like some sort of hell spawn demon straight out of the depths of tartarus!!!

    heres another i quite like from Dismember...
