these are the same cover

for when album covers are different ... but they're the same
i try to keep the list to only include covers that are coincidentally the same - there are plenty of homages to other albums or parodies of other albums that aren't included here because that's cheating. you're trying to make the same cover. what's REALLY cool and interesting are when 2 different creative ideas end up converging on mostly the same end product. when the covers are different ... but they're the same
MAN floatin in a dimly lit environment with beams of light (thank u @Louis13)
not even the same fucking shape as the others why did i ever add it to the list (for publicity, stupid!)

Don't know if this has been submitted yet, but these are practically the same cover. I'd be surprised if these weren't from the same designer.

Two ones I always think of are both No.4 by STP and Blackstar by Bowie, and also Exile on main street by The Rolling stones and Achtung baby by U2 I get confused with also.

Tangerine dream, Placebo and Slauson Malon also look like "All out gods have abandoned us" by Architects. Almost the same as the other three but this time with a while background.

@lexa You know what I can't argue with that. It is gorgeous and a clever homage. Plus it's your list so I respect all decisions made. It's just something I noticed so I pointed it out.
Also I got one last suggestion since I just noticed one and one is a recent album even.
The whole color, style, border and positioning of:
"I Told Bessie" by Elucid
And
"I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child" by Manchester Orchestra

Btw the Freddie Gibbs one is a pretty obviously an homage which is against the idea of this list. Even Freddie is just a play on the name Teddy.

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley x Acid King - Busse Woods have the same template in that there's a sign of the place the albums are based on on the right, & then the landscape.
