Animal Collective, Soulwax: Crazy Optical Illusion Album Covers Revealed

Check out these weird designs...

 

  • Pink Floyd: 'Ummagumma' (1969) On first impression the sleeve shows a series of mirrors reflecting the same image over and over. However, when you look closer you realise the band members switch positions on each mirror image.

We've seen some good, bad and ugly album covers through the years, but then there's ones that just make you go: “WTF?”

In our new countdown, we've put together a run down of the craziest optical illusion album covers out there, kicking off with Animal Collective's 2008 effort, 'Merriweather Post Pavilion'.

Our countdown also feature two awesome covers from Soulwax – aka 2ManyDJs – as well as Spiritualized's 'Let It Come Down' and 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway' by Genesis.
