album covers can make people feel a wide array of emotions, for example the album cover for that one Zach fox with him holding a cigarette between his toes right next to a plate of eaten chicken makes me want to commit a felony.
And the music is the perfect background music to that felony
thats a good ass album
@@onjk Agreed. Underrated too. GoMD is my favorite song on it
They make me feel like I'm looking at a picture
I MADE YOUR COMMENT REACH 1K
Viper is peak human creativity and execution when it comes to album covers
Truer words could not have been said
Hey Rixer, what are your thoughts on Cross over Heathfire's music? (the thumbnail album)
Oh yeah and not to mention his hundreds of albums
based pfp
@@zacharywoloszynski4258 Thanks 🥰
Pink Floyd's cover where the one guy shaking hands with the other guy who is on fire is incredible.
Yep. Also it’s called Wish you Were here
Ain't that Hero's and villains?
@@iamcraz1939Yeah idk who these “pink floyd” posers are that’s obviously metro’s album cover
Wait… is that what that one Ironclad card is in reference to?
Die lit album cover feels like a portal to the Carti world that he represented in the tracks
Fr it fits every track on the album
@@acaptainnachoz2111 It even inspired the RIP video. It's goated
I had aint had shit in a long timeeeee
It’s boring af
Machine Girls “…Because I’m Young Arrogant and Hate Everything You Stand For” is such a cool album cover. The arcade vintage game editing is cool and there’s more details every time I look at it
i love machine girl!! wlfgrl i like a lot too, but the editing and detail on because im young is just unmatched
based
yenahrvna's death of the rave has a similar thing going on. Same group of genres so that makes sense
the title track is also really dope
U-void Synthesizer is great too
Remember when Russel Mills literally put dead bugs, nails and his own blood on a canvas for NIN's The Downward Spiral? Every piece of art made for that album is horrific and disgusting and I love it.
Oh man,
I love nine inch nails.
Also, that is crazy.
I am glad someone brought up TDS.
Dayum, I actually bought that album at one point. Sadly along with my other CDs lost to time but, that's probably in essence among the most metal sounding things I have owned in terms of the album art alone💪🏻🧐
What's the song at 1:48
In my opinion the craziest album cover ever is the DONDA cover. It’s fucking crazyyyyyy.
It's so influential that I see it everytime I close my eyes
@Xavier!! To be fair, there's only like 5 people in the rap community that have listened to FaL2 and it's a shame really. Strange Fruition is a beautifully creepy song.
I know right. The voidal look… I see it every time I turn the lights off
Kindof just reminds me of dean blunt and dr. Dre
doonda
King Crimson's "In The Court Of The Crimson King" is a classic one, a horrifying yet impossible to stop looking at album cover, in my opinion it's easily one of the best album covers ever made!
PD:
Loved the video!
can't believe it wasn't mentioned
You have normie taste but you probably think you have super eclectic taste, but you don’t.
@@AlbPerNil you’re fun at parties
I bought this on vinyl and my mom opened the package, she refuses to talk to me
@@AlbPerNilyou’re really acting like your in a “What your favorite album cover says about you” video
I think we can actually bring the official BTI cover back now that Apple Music has animated album covers.
Hey Daniel, what are your thoughts on Cross over Heathfire's music? (the thumbnail album)
he could bring it to spotify too though the use of canvases
Anyone who knows metal can agree that Mayhem’s “The Dawn of the Black Heart” is a fun cover.
Ah yes, a very good depiction of what a true metal album cover should be
Yeah, it truly is a mind-blowing cover.
It’s disgusting
i was lookibng for this comment lmaoo
what a good cover
I totally agree with the Blue Album being the best cover. There’s just something so striking about it, and the simplicity helps it be memorable.
...and the bad shirts lol
@@linussvard6553 i want brian's shirt
WEEZER
As someone who listens to a new album everyday and who also designs some album covers, the medium is extremely close to me. Only until you try and draw your own cover can you really understand the complexity of how to organize a square and make it as interesting as you want it to be. It's kind of overwhelming and at the end of the day you really can't fit all you want to on it, so you should be selective. Since OSB was sharing, some of my favorite album covers right now are Turnstile's GLOW ON, Brand New's Deja Entendu, and Turnover's Peripheral Vision (all great albums too).
We’ve found Internet’s second busiest music nerd! Reported.
I do covers for my playlist so that they can look nice on my iPods... It's not that hard.
@@andrewstephens5885 not really, it’s just somebody who listens to more music than just the standard Zoomer/Fantano/Mu shit. Every single one of onlysmallbites videos are about the same 20 bands/artists. It’s so boring.
@@coldercoronet6248 Yeah, it's really not even close to Fantano standards and I'm not trying to compete with that lmao.
I love Gorillaz and I adore the plastic beach album cover. It’s so iconic and is such a calming visual to me
I was fucking waiting for weezer and thought was safe, I’m never safe
You'll never escape the weeze
Baby Goat is an incredible album cover, don’t even remember the artist and have never hear a single song from it but it deserves a billboard spot for the album art alone
Watching movies with the sound off also had a great cover. Mac albums are iconic. Also gotta love Tyler. But my fave is Wish you were here by Pink Floyd. Great video!
or that one chidlish gambino album
My favorite album cover must be Violator (Depeche Mode). It's simple, dark yet beautiful. Just like the album.
Was going to comment this, that cover helps the album's vibe so much. Probably my favourite album of all time and that cover adds so much to it
I love this style of content you’ve been doing. You can tell how much love is put into these videos, keep it up!
Your videos are legendary! 🤩 Please keep it up!
cherry bomb cover got a man pissin his pants tf
My favorite album cover has to go to Korn's debut album. The fact that you don't know the man, his intentions, or why he is standing above the girl on the swing set, it makes you wonder what is about to happen. On top of that, when the music does play, it's like the pov of the man before he leads up to that moment. With songs like 'daddy' and 'clown', It's really intriguing how the music can fit so well with the album cover.
The songs along with the album cover shows pure anger, rage and fear in my opinion
Cross over heathfire
Dude, thank you so much for including Cross over Heathfire in your vid, they’re totally underrated
The community posts were the perfect lead up to this video. You never disappoint OnlySmallBites 🔥
Album art makes me feel multiple things like how my dad probably felt disappointed when he saw the covers and insides of my Tyler CDs.
I've finally found my animated music review channel! You are now officially my favorite UA-camr!
Animation and editing is getting better and better man, keep it up!
this vid kept my attention the entire time dude ur editing is awesome
Crossover heathfire slaps so hard. I jammed to it all day when the first album came out
I think my most favorite album cover is Tyler the creators flower boy ablum because of the astheics behind it. After looking at closely you can see the car he talks about so much behind him just barely
Even drew the mini album covers, great work man !
Really appreciate the jet set radio soundtrack, awesome video man
I was honestly expecting this video to suck absolute ass because most music youtubers do. but this was pretty good. nice pacing and sweet animation. cool stuff
Certified Lover Boy’s album cover makes sense when you listening to something like Girls Want Girls or Way 2 Sexy, but then it goes to a song like Knife Talk and the last thing I’m trying to associate a song trying to act all hard and hood is 12 pregnant emojis 🤰
Black midi has some of the most mind melting covers ever made. Great stuff always gets my hyped for a project they release!
hello onlysmallbites, love the new video format ! Hope you'll keep up those podcast-animations, they're very entertaining, funny and interesting !
All of Roger Dean's work with Yes (the band) and Gentle Giant are all magnificent. They combine this element of futuristic worlds brimming with wild nature, topped with extremely beautiful and strange landscapes. If I ever had to recommend an album just based on it's cover, it would be anything Roger Dean illustrated.
Álbum covers usually determine what albums I decide to listen to from front to back
Truth.
dont judge a book by its cover? no?
@@rampageblizzard That saying is so stupid to me, if you don’t put any effort into the image of your book, or product in general, what is supposed to initially entice me? If I see a lazy or generic, or just aesthetically unpleasing looking album cover I’m less likely to want to listen to it.
@@ButterscotchPenguin yes, an album art is your first impression of that piece of work. but you will have no idea if you like the album until you listen to it. It’s pretty hard to create something that will represent every track, theme, or whatever about the album in just a small square on the cover.
@@rampageblizzard It’s part of the job as an artist to make an album cover that helps represent the album or at the very least stand out, if you can’t even do that you’ve failed in a way as an artist. The cover is apart of the experience as a whole and if people don’t want to listen to it because of an uninteresting cover that’s completely fair lol.
That being said yeah I’ve had plenty of albums with bland or generic looking covers that have some good stuff, still stand by that saying being dumb though and I still think have a lot more of an enjoyable time with an album with a good representative cover, just makes it that much more intimate of an experience. It’d be like making a fantastic painting of space and labeling it “white bread” or something lol.
love your vids man!
love the jet set radio music in the backgroud of the vid!
Wonderful video! Nerd fact: the daytime PB cover was also featured on the Japanese version of PB's CD release :)
I'm happy you started to make more longer and interesting videos then your usual "Basically Of" series. I also would love for you to go into more stuff like covering YOUR favorite albums, stuff to recommend to people who are a fan of a genre, and other music related stuff. keep it up man you found a really unique spot on this side of UA-cam 👍
I doubt it would be interesting. This dude only talks about the same 20 artists. Fantano has really ruined zoomer’s brains.
Haven’t watched ya in awhile dude. Glad to see you’re blowing up
Idk how you packed so much into 9 minutes, amazing work
4:03 this was the first thing my brother asked me after i saw him for the first time in 5 months. he asked "have you seen the uncensored death grips album cover"
I'm glad Viper was mentioned even if it was for a split second, he fs needs more love
bro you're videos are so good. Like a music version of ice cream sandwich. Keep it up!
I f love your videos dude! Thank you!
Danny Brown's Atrocity Exhibition cover is so goddamn good that as soon as I saw the cover, I just knew I would love the album, it's just so good
aphex twin's richard d. james album is just so hilarious and ominous at the same time that the image will never leave my brain
i'm loving this type of videos
Great content as always
If you liked the Cross over Heathfire ALBUM COVERS, you’ll love the upcoming Cross over Heathfire MOVIE!
I just looked at the community post, and now seeing this! Nice.
Nice JSR music in the background absolutely love that soundtrack
love these new videos mister bites!
I never really paid album covers any mind until I recently started going to a thrift store and buying albums.
One of my most favorite albums of all the albums I bought so far was a purchase solely off the album cover.
Some of them I purchase off the words like if it says jazz or Celtic music but not always.
My favorite album cover is Supertramp Breakfast In America! Absolutely amazing and makes me nostalgic for times that I wasn't even in existence!
love the video...AND THE JSRF GROOVES
5:32 I painted the sunset version of plastic beach back in may, and it has sat on my shelf ever since. I love the album so much bro
Its time for every ones favorite comment series,MY FAVORITE BITS FROM THIS VIDEO!(there's some basically references, try to find them)
1:02 bites gets dumped
2:25 childish gambino way he's here!
3:09 oh god you ain't get these ear to listens to that
3:38 death grip! Your not in jail for punching a police officer with the 2 wild baby keem
3:54 death grip and his crew(plus sus album cover)
4:11 50 cent(also bites,I think you made a new meme)
5:20 gorillas,you survive the paint ball war
5:45 the mail man is here(pretty late bub)
7:01 the beatles!
7:50 THE WEEKND,he said it!!!
8:06 he said the weeknd again!!(props to you bro)
8:50 weezer!
9:10 charlie is angry at bites
couldn't have said it better myself. i swear, you covered every damn point
I hate people that only know you from 30 seconds. Don't worry we watch these, and love it. We're here for you man
I like the parodys's but honestly this kind of videos is my favorites i hope you do more of them!
Man album covers are my red flag; can’t believe how I disappointed when CLB and Donda came out.
One of my favorite album covers which I don't think is talked about enough is the album cover for Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures"
I’d love for you to make a video about remixes, especially considering the different types of remixes out there as well as their “evolution” in hip-hop & R&B. It’s such a unique aspect in music!
Wow I was so surprised when you mentioned boards of Canada
Definitely some favorites. I have the vinyl for geogaddi and the artwork is impeccable
Next smallbite community post: Name an album WITH A COVER
We can all agree that Man On The Moon 3 is one of the most beautiful cover ever seen
I think MOTM 2 is better
Your videos are absolutely fantastic
Was surprised you didn't mention Flume's Skin or Hi This Is Flume album covers. Probably some of the most stylistic and unique covers out there.
Tech N9ne is very iffy with his album covers. He can put out something cool and mesmerizing like the covers of Special Effects, Asin9ne and Anghellic, but then he'll have an odd and/or unappealing album cover like the deluxe of Something Else or The Storm.
Sorry, I just missed the community post and needed to discuss it here.
Muse covers are so underrated in my opinion. Especially the early albums covers are great and they don't get much attention.
ngl the DANGERDOOM album cover is just something i will always love seeing
Great video, but the lack of Big Bear - Doin Thangs is a deep shame that I fear could never be corrected
1:48
Was that freaking Satorl Marsh (the night version) from Xenoblade?
trippie about to put the most fire cover on the most mid album you've ever heard
honestly king gizzard has some of my personal favorite album covers with flying microtonal banana and nonagon infinity, gotta love the guys
Your content is way too good for how relatively small you are. Keep up the great work, man!
Honestly, when it comes to weird album covers, my favorite is probably Hysteria by Def Leppard with the two face head creature.
An album cover that I am actually upset about is the cover art for Possession by Joywave. The singles had incredibly interesting and lively cover arts, but the album's cover art is just the golden disk. Like I wouldn't be able to pick it out in a pile of records if you asked me to. It's incredibly weak compared to all of their other album covers, which are all unique by themselves.
That’s crazy. I randomly thought, “hey what if viper was in this”, and then dismissed that thought. I got jump scared at the end when he showed up lol
If you’re looking for minimalist covers, the blue and green albums by Weezer definitely are those, if you’re looking for maximalist covers, you get something similar to the Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Music album by Tally Hall. Both are amazing alternative bands, and you know what you’re getting into by seeing them
01:55 king gizz oddments there, cool video
Oh man, it's great to see album covers get love. I feel like they are never talked about enough.
Edit: since I love them so much, I thought I would share my favourites:
Radiohead: Com Lag
EOB: Earth
Nirvana: In Utero
Radiohead: Kid A
Boards Of Canada: Geogaddi
Thom Yorke: The Eraser
The Smile: A Light For Attracting Attention
Tame Impala: Currents
Smashing Pumpkins: Melancholie and the Infinite Sadness
Green Day: Dookie
Weezer: Raditude
Radiohead: In Rainbows/ In Rainbows Disc 2
Melancholie is truly an insane album cover if you ever see the full design
Great list
My favorites are
Cosmogramma
Anima
Nevermind
Almost All the Radiohead covers
Flamagra
By The Time I get to phoenix
@@gumble808 Anima is great!
Thank you so much for the shoutout!!! Seeing how many people still admire that jump I did almost 14 years ago makes my day. Raditude is truly one for the history books. Don’t stop partying!!!
@@thedogfromraditude5449 Happy to mention you! I love you, Dog from Raditude.
I personally love the alternate album covers to all different types of albums
I love how the Demon Days vinyl also has a unique cover art for each song!
Just some random additions to the great list. Enter the Wu-Tang and Liquid Swords, Weezer's Pinkerton, PUP's The Dream is Over, Husky's Forever So, Sufjan Stevens' Illinois and Carrie and Lowell, Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool, Avalanche's Since I Left You, Funkadelic's Maggot Brain, Hole's Live Through This, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' Push The Sky Away
I would also add Birthday Party’s Junkyard and Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures. Btw if you like Nick Cave you have to check out the Birthday party. They’re one of the most chaotic post punk bands of all time. Nicks the lead singer.
Album covers are one of the most IMPORTANT things about albums in my opinion.
Also Apple Music does put some gifs on there.
Look at nas’s stillmatic
You're right! I was mainly talking for around the time BTI came out, but yeah it's honestly really cool! Apple Music is taking the right steps.
Spotify's still putting on their shoes over there...
no way I watched 9 minutes of insane album covers and got so invested, just to get WEEZER'D!!!!
Underrated, better than most animated story youtubers
As a fan of punk rock, punk rock album covers can be the same thing
From really badass designs to what in the actual hell?
Same with some metal albums like my personal favorite; GWAR
Plastic Surgery Disasters and Frankenchrist by The Dead Kennedy’s have to be 2 of the greatest album covers of all time.
And yet, not one mention of the best album cover and title out there:
Thanks to You Song That I Don't Understand How People Like It I'm Forced to Listen to This S--t Everyday Cause My F---ing Sister Plays This Every Time Without Getting Bored of Listening to It Thanks Ghost for This Piece of S--t You Introduced Into My Life (usually shorted as Thanks to You Song) - the album who's title is literally just a hate comment that Ghost and Pals (the producer/artist) got on one of the songs in the album (it was on The Distortionist, in fact). Ghost themselves is a great producer too, do check them out :3
Idk why every time you upload, clique productions uploads as well
nice video but could you please talk about the metal album covers? like cannibal corps, iron maiden, risk? maybe?
6:25 those are probably inspired by old-timey "three-headed Jesus" illustration from early christian ages before AD1000, weird stuffs.
The fact that the album cover for Get To Heaven by Everything Everything wasn’t mentioned is a literal crime, so, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to sentence you to a year of community service for it.
Also, I’ve grown to really love the Born This Way album cover, though just loving that album generally is partly to do with it
Yes! Love EE
man it sucks that this content doesnt get as many views as your in 1 minute/30 seconds videos. these are amazing
Good vidéo man !
