INTRODUCTION/RULES

Hello! I am alBUG covers! I have been inspired by accounts like @mylittleplaylist to put my encyclopedic knowledge of obscure insects to "good" use.

Basically the gimmick is that I find a bug (colloquially speaking, i.e. any terrestrial invertebrate) that has a pattern / color scheme / vibe that matches the design of an album cover!

Feel free to submit your favorite albums and I will assign them a bug.

HOWEVER i may not have time to listen to them so

a) it will be based on the cover alone

b) honor code - don't submit any intentionally offensive albums (obviously albums with explicit lyrics are fine but none with prejudiced lyrics or graphic covers)

Hopefully this account finds its target audience! Until then, I will be sharing my own favorite albums.
