I'm a fan of Dallas Green and his sort of band City and Colour, so I've followed his musical career from the first album and it's interesting to see how the album artwork has changed.
The first two albums were his earlier ones, where both were painted by his friends which I think relates to how his career was at the time. The last two are his newer and more popular where actual designers have collaborated with his ideas. However I'm not really a fan of the last one, bottom right, because it's quite trendy. Circles are very popular at the minute and and lack of colour doesn't make it jump out on the shelf.
A Day To Remember, Homesick
When I went through my goth stage I loved this album and it's art. I think it's such an interesting illustration with so much to look at. Also I think it relates well to the idea of homesick, the figure looks lost within all of the vines etc.
Designer - Dan Mumford. This cover is his style, so I think the band were already a fan of his work. http://www.dan-mumford.com/portfolio
Bonobo
Bonobo is a DJ who plays quite chilled relaxed music so I think these pieces really suit his music. I really like the one to the left it represents his music really well because you just seem to relax to it, it's subtle music quite like these covers.
