Album cover analysis



























Each of these artists are all from the same genre and have all been renound for the contempory art that their covers have donned. Each one is unique to the musical artist and co-incides with either the album name or with perhaps a lyric in one of the songs.
You me at six - Take off your colours. This is the first picture seen here. It is a swirl of colours with the closest the same colour as the background with the colours slowly dissapearing.
Paramore - Riot. the second album on the list. This is, in my opinion, the simplest of all chosen album covers. the album name is riot, and is the word in orange. the rest of the 'RIOT''s are background. It shows that this could be a rebelious album and shows the more rocky side of Paramore. the background is also used in a video for one of the songs from the album.
Keane - Under the Iron sea. The album cover resembles the title of the album, Under the Iron sea, showing the sea with horses as waves. In medievil times horses where often armoured with iron, which leads me to think it could be a link to the name and chosen art work.
Paramore - Brand New Eyes. This album cover was inspired when the lead singer found a dead butterfly in her drive. She clipped it's wings and pinned it sperately to her fence. the inspiration was from some of the lyrics from on of her songs already on the album.
Biffy Clyro - Puzzle. The album cover and name of the album pretty much coincide with one another. It looks as thoug the man in the picture is struggling to think of something or recal something because he is missing part of him, the missing puzzle piece.
Paramore - All we know is falling. The only thing we see on this cover is a red couch in a brushy area outside. The name of the album makes me feel as though the couch is there perhaps to catch those that are falling and it also appears in one of their video's on the album.
