Couldn't decide in the first round, but I think I can choose 4 from here, some great ones. I'm surprised "Still Life" wasn't the Opeth artwork of choice.

Some people apparently have strange tastes... Those results are unexpected and somehow defeat the point of the list.
Makes good sense though: recent and/or popular albums get the all the attention, therefore all the votes, regardless of their artwork.
Too bad, cause this was a good idea. Definitely well worth a try.

Vulgar Display? Somewhere Far Beyond?? ...Horror Show????? come on!

I'm serious. I said the same thing on the first page. I cant be arsed to google every single one on the list. It would be easier if I had them all on one page.

Is someone going to take the time and make a thread with the album covers so that users don't have to google each one ? Will make it easier for us lazy bums

Here you go.

There'll be a part two soon.

this is simply album art, correct? no tunes or anything illegal to D/L, or other surprises, correct?

Well I doubt he has the right to publish and distribute these cover arts anyways. Copyrights exists for images too right?

I think there's something about album arts being subjected to copyrights if the resolution is higher than 300x300. Not sure though.

Yes, just album arts (JPEG/PNG files) and nothing else.
If you think it's illegal, just simply delete my post or send me a message to do so.
I don't care about copyright law, but at the same time I don't want to send anything illegal here on MS.

I was suprised it was the only Seth cover on the list (or are there others?). The guy seems to get lots of praise, and the style itself is actually pretty cool, but damn his covers are boring and predictable, typical 5 minute photoshop stuff.

Lulz at people being too lazy to use google.

You really only have to google the ones you've never seen, which means most people can discount Amon Amarth, Immortal, Emperor, Opeth and probably Mastodon as well.

I'll post links for next round.
