billdifferen's favorite album art of 2021



 Album art is crucial.

Happy 20 years to the GOAT
 
Seriously 60% of the time, I will listen to something depending on its cover art. I feel like, yeah the music is like the main part of all of this shit, but at the same time, the album cover is a very big part that brings the piece of art altogether. If that album art is shit, and/or nonexistent, there's a possibility that I won't listen to it. Tough critic right.... 😂


But seriously, there's a lot of people that just go into the album art itself, and I always feel like there's never enough people showcasing the work of those artists, as we get like 450 iterations of the same list over and over again, so I just wanted to share some of my favorite art of the year. No order really; they're all sick. Big love to all of these people involved. But yeah, here we go!!
