But there’s something to be said for holding a record cover in your hands and poring over the liner notes, studying the front for hidden meanings and details, or comparing Steely Dan session players. Also, I imagine that you don’t have the same problems with clutter or crammed IKEA Kallax shelves that I do, and let’s not even get into vinyl delays or their environmental impact. Look, If you need to keep your listening space minimal and austere, I get it, and how you consume your media is your prerogative-I certainly don’t want to be the kind of person telling someone that they’re doing it all wrong. You’ve got streaming and a tiny little square, and for most folks, that’s OK by them not to sound like the guy yelling at you to get off his lawn, but that’s a shame. Now, the way most people interact with record covers or album art is through their phones.

What I can tell you, however, is that not only was it a great year for music, but also some pretty nifty album covers. Go here if you want that, because you’re bound to discover something new.

Hell, we even got a ten-minute Taylor Swift song, and I’m not going to say anything negative about that because I don’t need that kind of heat in this lifetime.īut that’s not our beat.
