➤ Simple Guidelines

➧1. Include the original album name, author and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Album Name - Author/s Name, Unknown Year]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. No low-effort/low-quality posts. Posts made to c/albumartporn are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The album cover should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧3. Be Original

➧4. Be respectful. Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧5. No off-topic Content Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not album art) or that contains gory material.

➧6. No spam or reposts. Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to c/albumartporn, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧7. No advertisement or self-promotion. Do not use this subreddit to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧8. No memes, gifs, videos, audios. Just album covers

➧9. Tag NSFW Posts · Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit” · Gore, both human and non-human.

➠Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

I know this is an album art forum but damn I love TOOLs music.

[–] salton@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

This album for sure has the best art booklet of any CD I've ever own.

Here I go listening to Tool again.

btw this cover is made by Alex Grey if anyone want to see more of his art

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you seen the booklet? I guess you have.

For anyone else who hasn't,

The booklet is about 8 clear plastic pages with layers, so as you open each page it shows a lower layer.

It's really freakin cool.

[–] doodgelukkig@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Aw yeah it really is amazing! Alex Grey and Tool go together perfectly

[–] SymphonicResonance@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same artist who did the art work for 'DMT: the spirt molecule' right ?

[–] doodgelukkig@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes it is! According to a friend who has experience with DMT Alex Grey visualizes the experience perfectly

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

My friend would like to try it some time, but has no idea where to get it or how to make sure it's the real deal.

Such a big fan of Alex Grey's work. Highly recommend checking out his book, Net of Being

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a complete album, Lateralus is one of my favourite things to listen to. It's kind of amazing.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely, I'm a big fan of albums that just flow as one.
