The Art of Cover Design - Albums of the Week #2!

Here is the second appointment with the new section of the best cover graphics of albums just released.
This week we see as the main theme is the element of dreamy and surreal landscapes. The cover created by Jeff Jordan for The Mars Volta refers to the paintings of Salvador Dalì and Joan Mirò, but present this art to our times and with new elements.
Mythical creatures, visions of heaven and hell, dreams and nightmares are all elements that we find in  the Dream Theater cover, a band always tied into their music at these issues.
We can find the theme of dreams even in the cover of Dinosaur Jr., Regina Spektor and in Rem’s Reckoning.
So.. in this week albums we can see how the type of music, the topics covered in lyrics are in close connection with the cover artwork.

Wish you a nice view of the gallery… and a good listening to the music :)
