>>52031847>>52028375Whoa
>>52031257Because they fucking hate that their fanbase turned them into retarded memes, and so decided to ridicule them with a picture showing a very submissive male. Basically dg fans are all cucks.

>>52042492whoaaa
>>52035943Did you know that Rob and Sean actually made that video themselves?
>>52043043are they a battles tribute band or something?
>>52042605>not knowing nick drakecome on, even if you didn't know that album already, it's on the fucking wikipedia page for the boris album.
>>52043095they're a funk rock/funk metal/alt rock band, whereas the Beatles are a pop rock/psych rock band
>>52042283that album was disappointing. easily the worst thing the books have put out.
>>52035943lel, I just tried to get the cover on screen by pausing the video, took me a while, but here it is.
>>52042054looks menacing as hell. i can only imagine it as a place one would be brought to be systematically slaughtered and cremated.
>>52043068i knew that they experimented with generative video stuff because of some interviews but i didnt realize it made it onto an album cover until i saw that video>>52043160haha that was the first thing i did when i saw the video
>>52042897is that cop?
>>52043206I've seen the video before, but didn't really bother to pause it.Those two do so many things besides music that they should be crowned 'awesome'.
>>52031847whats this one
>>52043160took me a few seconds. i guess i got lucky.
>>52042179I like how they kept the dude's shirt in the album cover.
>>52043127i was joking.>>52043145screencapping. starting a "things plebs say" thread.>>52043278wish you were here

>>52043347wow, that album cover will never look the same now. what are those people doing, anyway?
>>52043347Those look like old-timey gas masks they used back during WW1.
>>52042188Geogaddi?
>>52043747yes it is
>>52043747yeah. that picture is from the inside of the original release. i don't remember whether it was from the vinyl or cd version, though.
>>52039247Hm, never seen someone post this one nice find

>>52041856>Crippled Black PhoenixI love Be'lakor's album. I'll try theirs too.
>>52027640opeth - morningrise
>>52031251Also noise group The New Blockaders had a similar cover. I don't know where the picture originally came from.
>>52045894what album cover used this?
>>52046034the chronic
>>52046034The Chronic
>>52046025it's a psychic who would wrap his head in cloth and read telepathically. someone posted the full photograph before, but i don't have it on this hard drive.
>>52046058>>52046062oh, i've seen that before. i never noticed that the design was taken from the rolling papers.
>>52046085hence the name of the album
>>52046131i don't get it
>>52046186zig zags are rolling papers for bluntsi.e. the chronic
>>52046131hell i love smoking doobs, and that album as the next guy and i never noticed that. different poster btw
>>52046212uh, they're rolling papers for joints. blunts = cigars / blunt wraps
>>52035832Who lives there now?
>>52046212oh, i just found out that chronic is apparently a word used for marijuana. of course, because dr dre is an edgy #430 weed smoker and everyone needs to know because it's cool.
>>52046297well my friends and i always get zigzag blunt wraps ive never had their rolling papersbut in the context of the album youre probably right
>>52046311Huh...>>52046365Dude, a significant portion of hip-hop artists talk about smoking weed or make references to it. Not one of my favorite parts about hip-hop, but it's not just Dre
>>52039247dude, that's awesomebetter than the album artI want that print
>>52039247what album?
>>52046592Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons>>52046570Oh wait, I just realized I have a print of it on my wall.
