Album covers should add an additional message to the group of songs in the album that can provide context to the overarching plot. They could also be used to foreshadow what the album will discuss. However, the primary purpose of a good album cover is to be eye catching for people who are unaware of the band or their music and to advertise the album to sell the most records that they can. If a album cover is truly great then it will look visually appealing to the ordinary consumer and add to the theme or foreshadow the album itself.

Examples of influentual album covers

Music is used in lots of different ways. It can be used to express one's culture and is used for cultural practices. It can be used for therapy for someone to relax and open up to their emotions. However, music's primary purpose is for entertainment, and it does so in many ways. Some music is to tell a story or message of life. You find songs like that on websites like Spotify or Apple music. Music is also used for video games and movies to enhance the emotion in a important scene or for advertisements to make their product sound catchy.
