OK Computer - RADIOHEAD
This album cover is more art orientated and was illustrated by Stanley Donwood. This reflects the music itself and also its genre. It incorporates the album and band name which is conventional of album covers. However, this is not the focus due to it being small in the top right corner which provides focus upon the artwork itself. The cover is being used as another platform of expression which has more meaning to the artist than the audience itself. This relates to the genre due to their shared flouting of conventional musical expectations.
The disc itself is very basic, and only incorporates a small band logo and some crediting in a small black font. This simplicity could be due to the CD itself containing the musical art and therefore needs nothing extra. The inner sleeve is also another piece of art. It
follows the same style and similar content to the cover creating continuity between each section of the album art.
The artwork itself is very pale. The cover retains the appearance of movement and speed. This distorts the image and creates a generally very unconventional album cover of which reflects the band and their music very effectively.
The back cover incorporates Donwood's art again reinforcing this continuity. It also incorporates the track listen which is conventional of a back cover.
Loveless - MY BLOODY VALENTINE
Similarly to OK Computer, this album cover is more of an art piece. However, this uses a heavily distorted photograph of a Fender Jazzmaster. the guitar itself reflects the music due to this being highly used within the Shoegaze genre. The distortion of the image reflect the high use of pedals within this album and a very experimental use of distortion and pedals within the guitar sound.
The back cover is the same image however a different photograph from a slightly different angle. This creates a strong theme and a very high level of continuity. It doesn't incorporate a track listen which is very unconventional of a back cover. This could be due to the music itself being very experimental and does not conform to musical conventions.
The CD also has the same image as the front cover with slight differences. The repetition of this image creates a high level of continuity within the album cover and reinforces the distortion and disorientation within the music itself. 
The inner sleeve is yet another picture of a Fender guitar reinforcing this genre convention. However, this time it is white and blue similarly to OK Computer. It also has the track listing on rather than on the back cover. This is unconventional which can again be related to the music and bands ideologies. VS - PEARL JAM
Like Loveless, This album cover is more photography based. The album's cover art, photographed by Ament, features a blak-and-white picture of a sheep from a farm in Hamilton, Montana. According to Ament, the cover was a representation of how the band felt at the time, with Ament stating "we were slaves." The album booklet contains additional drawings and writings by Vedder, including one page apparently doodled at a business meeting that says "I will never trust anybody again." The lyric page for "W.M.A." features a portion of a news story concerning Malice Green, allegedly a victim of police brutality.The cover itself therefore has more meaning to the band than the audience due to its inexplicit meaning. To the audience it is simply a picture of a sheep.
The back cover on this incorporates the track listing which is conventional of an albums rear cover. The CD itself is a solid orange. This contrasts greatly with the black and white images surrounding the rest of the album art.
The inner cover also has images of sheep. This creates continuity between each section of the album and therefore creates an effective album dig-pak.
