The Stone Roses
I love the album art on the Stone Roses CD, 'The Stone Roses.' The name of the band and the album are the same so there is only 'The Stone Roses,' in bold writing on the front of the CD cover. The image on the front cover is a art piece titled 'Bye Bye Badman,' also the name of a song on the album. This connects the album art with the music. The cover art makes reference to the May 1968 riots in Paris and Ian Brown had met a French man who told him that in the riots lemons had been used as an antidote to tear gas. The lemons on the album art are a reference to this. On the back of the album there is a shot of the band in a similar art style, creating synergy between the back and front of the CD case. The album art links to the songs on the album and also politics that people may relate to; it has meaning and depth to it.
