I wonder if the internet, Nteflix etc. signal the doom of the era of great movie posters. Album cover art never seemed the same after the switch to small format CDs.
[grumpy old man]Kids today don't know what they're missing. When I was a lad, our records used to take up the side of a house and the covers were masterpieces. Nowadays it's download this and mpthat and bloody hell knows what else with their iPods and whatnots. Get off my lawn![/grumpy old man]
Yep, I miss the imaginative design work that went into album covers. What really got my goat with the change to CDs was the artwork was often just shrunk with no thought or care as to the content, so you ended up with lyric sheets in "gnat's cock" size type, which you couldn't even read with an electron microscope.
Then again, considering the lyrical content of most stuff since the millennium it's probably for the best. :)
