No album cover has ever looked as much like its contents sounded as Loveless
TCQ was a such big part of my teenage life. My first summer job I worked at tennis courts that were busy from 7-9am and then from 9-3 I sat alone in a hut listening to low end theory on repeat. 🎧
I remember the day this dropped on the internet. The mysterious allure of the artist, the gritty but clean look, the sexy but dark atmosphere. This just looked like a banger. Sure enough if it was, and this visual complimented the audio flawlessly.
this is a question i would justify a year to think about lmao brb
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (2007) Pretty Lights - Glowing In The Darkest Night (2010) not my all-time favorites, but for now they'll do (:
Refused - the shape of punk to come Rage against the machine - s/t The shape of punk to come still sounds fresh and unique
Raw but elegant The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground (1967)
