hahaha, I Googled water curses cd case and found these completely unrelated pictures:
they're perfect
also if the CD tray part of the Water Curses album (the part that has the same artwork as the CD itself) was an album cover, it would probably be my favourite

Could you (or anyone) upload a picture of this by any chance? Never seen it before! Not having much luck with google image search either.

I noticed it, but only because it was a lot more obvious in the first draft of the CHZ album art, not sure if you were around when that was revealed or not.
I don't mind the CHZ artwork too much, but I can't help but think that it'd look 10x cooler without the mouth. Thats just my opinion though. The metallic cover is indeed pretty sweet, I'm glad I got it on vinyl.

Yeah you're right, I totally understand why they put it there. They incorporated it into their stage setup and everything. I guess I'm just not that into it.

Love. Perfectly fits the music to me. And I don't like all the images from those singles.

So glad that HCTI is winning, one of my favourite album covers in general and really captures the sound of the album to me.

i remember people hating the MPP cover when it was first shown
few years on and it's become a sort of 'iconic' album art

(probably because Merriweather is the most popular Animal Collective album)
I liked the cover art from the get-go though, even though I think the inside cover seems more suited to the music. Optical illusions are fricking great.

yeah, i get what you're sayin. i would've been super psyched if this had been the cover, though:
like, it looks kind of like a tree (life) but also like a nuclear explosion (death). i really think that goes along super well with all of the ideas of self-contradiction that the albums based on. idk though, tomboys still one of my fave albums, and beggars cant be choosers!

Fuck, how'd I forget about Tomboy? That's definitely my favorite. The look on the girl's face conveys so much, I guess. More than the other AC albums do.

Yeah I'm really glad Indian is back in front, it'll be a crime if it doesn't win.
