The best album art of 2024. I usually gravitate towards album covers based on these factors:
-Level of detail (Foreground, background, etc. One dimensional album covers don't work for me usually)
-Art style (Renaissance is cool, power metal fantasy cartoons are not)
-Colour scheme (Vibrant colours but not too wacky or fluro)
-Winter, space, large scale visuals
-Contrast (Through colour and actual landscape)
-Abstract/paradoxical

No particular order, they are all great

Solbrud - IIII
Not easy to describe why, but it's certainly unique.

Eternal Storm - A Giant Bound To Fall
Not exceptionally original when it comes to this genre, but this art is very good-looking, especially in the texture of the fog.
