➤ Simple Guidelines

➧1. Include the original album name, author and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Author/s - Album Name (Unknown Year)]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. No low-effort/low-quality posts. Posts made to c/albumartporn are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The album cover should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧3. Be Original

➧4. Be respectful. Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧5. No off-topic Content Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not album art) or that contains gory material.

➧6. No spam or reposts. Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to c/albumartporn, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧7. No advertisement or self-promotion. Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧8. No memes, gifs, videos, audios. Just album covers

➧9. Tag NSFW Posts · Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit”. Gore, both human and non-human is not allowed. No spam.

➠Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

Hello everyone!

I'm writing this to share some updates to hear some feedback from you.

Let's start with the updates:

  • Introduced flairs, and I'm happy to see that some of you are using it to keep things more organized. As stated in the 'Introducing Flairs' post, this will remain optional for now as not all Lemmy clients support it.

  • Changed the community image for the first time. The old one was a AI made image that I used when I created the community, I thought it was time to update it to a more gorgeous one. The current image is by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash. I hope you like it!

  • I made the 'Rule 9' more clear, stating that "Gore, both human and non-human is not allowed.".

  • 'Rule 1' had a typo with the mandatory posts title, it was fixed thanks to a feedback from a member.

Feedback! I want to know some feedback from you. What are you thinking of flairs? Do you use them? Do they improved the search in the community? What can be better about them?

Changes to 'Rule 7' Right now, 'Rule 7 - No advertisement or self-promotion.', states: "Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands." I'm seeing some users posting links to the artists 'Bandcamp' or other socials/websites and I'm fine with that. Do you think this rule should be changed to allow these kind of links and support the artists? Of course, in this case, 'Rule 6 - No spam or reposts.", would be updated to prevent a lost of posts with self-promotion/advertisement.

Other Feedback Do you have any other idea/feedback to improve the community? Let me know!

Thank you again everyone, I hope you keep enjoying the Album Art community!

Introducing Flairs! (lemmy.world)

Hello Lemmy!

I'm glad you're enjoying this community and sharing your favourite album covers! To keep things more organized, I'm trying to implement flairs to posts. This way, users can create and view flairs based on music genre/country.

This only works better with the 'Photon UI' and Tesseract Lemmy clients, so it will be optional for now, until more clients support it in the future.

I edited most of my posts here to include the music genres and I'm adding them to the sidebar. Feel free to create more and include them in your post titles.

How it works?

When submitting a Album Cover, use up to three genres: [Pop, Rock, Electronic] Album Title, Album Artist (YYYY)

If you want to specify the country, include them in the title: [Pop, Rock, Electronic, French Music] Album Title, Album Artist (YYYY)

List of Flairs:

This list will be updated as more flairs are created by users.

By Country:

The whole album is mostly post-punk but the single "Crazy" is more jangle pop. R.E.M. covered it for a b-side to the "Wendell Gee" single.

Disclaimer: I do not know if Forgotten Woods was among the Norwegian Black Metal groups from the early 1990s who were also neo-Nazis but, I mean, there's a pretty solid chance they were. That whole scene, you know. I only posted this cover because the image is striking to me, it looks like it might be taken from an old movie (early 20th century) but not one that I have identified. Also the girl looks like someone I knew back in high school so maybe that's why I find the image so eye-catching.

Engineered by Conny Plank, whose birthday is today! (I didn't actually plan this, listened to it yesterday without knowing about that)

Good hippie music, I absolutely recommend it if you're into this style of music. The album consists of two long tracks, one on each side of the record. They make great use of stereo, sounds travelling from one channel to the other, etc. So make sure to listen it in a way you can hear this and fully appreciate it.

Back:

Why are they complaining about the "noise" when the middle person is wearing headphones? Is the music very loud and the headphones crappy? Or are they complaining about noise from another source that the middle person is not hearing because of the headphones?

Very confusing!

Also, there should be an updated version of "My Telephone" with lyrics about smartphones instead.

I‘m didn’t find anything in the rules concerning photos of ~~your own~~ albums from your collection or showing front and back cover in one picture. Maybe this post can start a discussion about it.

  • I think photos are ok, if they are decently cropped.
  • I think the back cover oftentimes is part of the artwork and should be allowed.
  • I think inside covers of douple LPs/gatefolds should also be allowed. Maybe with an addition to the title like: [Rock] Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue[inside] - (1977)
