Album Cover Interpretation

Featured Replies

What do you see here?

Which is the common theme?

 

Just do some brainstorming....

I know, I know...all are records that I own.

Did I get it correct? Do I win a prize? :D

i agree with angie. and that theyre three of my favorite albums ever. and theyre all on my bedroom wall.

 

umm, use of vertical lines? thats all i can see. i think the album cover comparison is kind of pointless: what we should be comparing is the music, or rather, it would make more sense to compare it. because i could probably think of some similar themes.

X&Y is made up of loads of little squares. War is a face. Hard Days Night is loads of little squares with faces in.

though i do not see anything that those three albums have in common i kinda like the basic idea of this thread a lot!

Guys, dig deeper. There is a common theme to all three.

A Clue: opposites.

Yeah that's right, I like that.

It's each band's third official studio album - which doesn't really have anything to do with the cover itself, of course...

 

 

A.

the common thing is

 

I really like the bands that made these records...

 

 

I can't think in anything else

Numerous things could be interpreted for the covers, I'm not entirely sure what moshepop is leading towards. The best I can find is a common thread of conflict War and Peace in u2's case, X&Y or the conflict of enormous optimism and pessimism in coldplay's case for the beatles...well, many faces, different emotions happy and sad surrounding the artistically placed "backwards" head in the center. could also fit the category of conflicting ideas and/or emotions.

Yeah exactly, and the backwards head is also an opposite in relation to the other heads that are looking towards the front, I mean, front and back as opossites.; as is Day with respect to Night. With the respect to War, yeah, you can also see it as the inner tension between opposites in our own lives. That is the original meaning of Holy War. Those opposites being represented by an 'X' and a 'Y', as well. But remember, hope relies on the fact that opposites become complements if transformed.

Part of each cover is in color and part of each is black and white. :wink3:

Yeah exactly, and in each of them there is a clear separation between black and white and color.
