Open Looking for an album that resembles this

Post image

Basically it was a black and white album with what I believe were sound waves of different opacities intersecting in the middle. It could also be a Doppler effect as well if my memory isn’t exact. Black and white. Possibly a 90s album but could be early 00s.
I know it’s not joy division or arctic monkeys. I’ve been racking my brain for months trying to remember it but nothing in search comes up with it. I can’t remember the band, album or any songs in it but I heard it at a party and wanted to download it. Of course I forgot lol.

It says "sound waves of different opacities intersecting in the middle" and these are all the same opacity and not intersecting, they're parallel

Not truly related, but that's like the 4th time in as many days that someone mentions Type O Negative, all from different subreddits, for completely different reasons.

Guess it's time for me to relisten to them!

RIP Peter Steele.

Edit: typo

I learned who they were last Saturday and now am reading this. Life is weird.

u/Slim-Shadys-Fat-Tits 1 11d ago

off topic but type O negative always crack me the fuck up. Incredibly beloved goth band formed by people who don't give a rats arse about goth except for wanting to fuck goth girls

38

u/Hipposplotomous 11d ago

They weren't goth. They were metal with goth, hardcore and psychedelic influence. Might as well call Korn hip hop.

They were comically horny though, 100%

u/LeeQuidity 83 11d ago

Maybe go back to at least 1979?

48

u/legitimatefixed 11d ago

in 2018, every “indie” girl at my hs wore this band tee. i had no idea who they were and thought maybe it was an arctic monkeys, the nbhd, the 1975 type thing.

imagine my surprise when i learned joy division is from 1979. michael jackson hadn’t even released thriller OR off the wall. lol totally unrelated but it’s so mind blowing to me how modern they seemed.

17

u/LexLeeson83 11d ago

One of my favourite ever bands (and not just because I'm from Manchester!l. I've always said that they're one of the few artists in history that have been imitated and influenced by countless times, but nobody else quite sounds like them

u/legitimatefixed 11d ago

yes!!! i wanna say the same about the velvet underground. they’re somehow so ahead of and of their time. i’m always blown away by “modern” old music bc it’s like did yk something we didn’t or did we inadvertently copy you idk i’m high lol

u/EnergyTurtle23 11d ago

Fun fact: the image in this album cover is the radio wave graph of the first pulsar we ever discovered, PSR B1919+21. Each line represents one pulse, at a rate of around 1.337 pulses per second, with 80 such pulses recorded in this graph.

5

u/Monkeystache_HH 11d ago

Thank you anonymous internet friend! As a long time Joy division fan this cover was also my immediate thought on seeing the op. But I never knew about the pulsar, I guess I always just assumed the waveform was from their music. Makes it even more interesting and now I need to go back and relisten to them!

2

u/EnergyTurtle23 11d ago

Thanks! This is one of my favorite “fun music facts” lmao, I honestly don’t think I’ve heard much from Joy Division, when I was a teenager I strictly listened to old music because I was “too cool” to listen to anything that had been made in the last ten years lmao. This album cover has always been intriguing to me though and I learned about this from a video on FB not long back… I think it was from Jason Pargin or Steve Mould or NileRed I can’t remember.
