Do you think artists consider how their album titles look cohesively?

gagas covers would look even more iconic if the deluxe btw was the standard

Are you for real?

I actually like when artists change up their aesthetic with each album to show it's a different body of work. Adele's covers/titles are boring and predictable. Self-titling her 4th studio album is tacky. 

[Illuminati 15,921]

Lana Del Rey uses the same font everywhere I believe, Meghan Trainor explicitly chose to go for the opposite color scheme in her second album i've heard, so everything about it would feel different which in a way would create its own cohesiveness if she continues to differentiate her albums like that.

I think it's cool when artists are self aware like that. Also MIA named her albums using her Fathers, Mothers and her own names which I find as quite an interesting combination too. 

If I was a singer like Gaga I would want my albums to be very different on the inside I suppose but at the same time I would seek to connect all the material in some way

Reading this just made me think about how ARTPOP and Joanne are so similar in a way. (and I just thought about it because I was thinking of Gaga's album covers and ARTPOP and Joanne share the same colors but different shades (pink and blue)). Joanne's cover has toned down shades of blue and pink while ARTPOP has fancy metallic foil pink and blue.

Both are basically a way to express a discomfort (ARTPOP being her pain exploding in electronic music and Joanne where the music videos and all her interviews are about her feeling bad and depressed about dozens of things)

Not just that Joanne imo is the ARTPOP act 2. She is avenging with an ARTPOP in disguise. Chord progression, track listing etc are so similar.

DH and Aura basically are about "are you ready to see the real me"

the middle songs (ARTPOP and PI) basically stand out sonically and the album is separated into 2 parts sonically.

ends with a RedOne track.

there are more if you look close to the lyrics and chord and stuff you'll find Joanne very similar to ARTPOP.

kind of not on topic but really glad you brought that up.

Each of these albums hold a special place in my heart, they represent a certain time of my life and seeing them all together like this makes me so emotional.

Adele goes a lil' hard in that field 

She said the age thing was a trilogy I believe. Can't remember the interview (it was after 25 was released).

I like how you didn't use the standard Born This Way cover

The Born This Way standard cover didn't phase me when I was 13 in 2011 but the deluxe one she used for the songs on Youtube just stayed in my mind so when I think of BTW, I think of the deluxe cover.

It depends on the artist and the concept they're trying to share.

For example Kendrick Lamar's TPAB album title, doesn't have a conection with his previous one. But the album itself it's a conceptual album.

Sometimes the titles are not related to one another, cuz, one album is what the singers are living at that point of their lives, and what is really cohesive towards each other, are the lyrics/stories.

OMG I was 13 too (12 but I pretended to be 13 to get into PG-13 movies with my friends ) YAAAAASSSS Gaga converting gays at the ripe age of 13.

I only mentioned the standard BTW cover cuz a lot of monsters hated it  I for one loved that cover.

I think ARTPOP and Joanne are similar but I disagree with some of the things you brought up.

Diamond Heart is not about showing the real her, it's more like Marry the Night, she embraces her flaws and sins. However they have different purposes : in Marry the Night she says this to herself, to prove that she can be strong even with her flaws, it's a self-power anthem. In Diamond Heart she says this to her dad and reassures him and promises him she will always be a good girl inside.

I don't agree with "the album is separated in two parts sonically" either. ARTPOP is clearly the middle and defines the meaning and purpose of the album. We can't really say that about Perfect Illusion, it's a song among the others... And the album ARTPOP isn't separated in two parts, I rather see it this way :
Aura is the intro
Venus, G.U.Y and Sexxx Dreams make a first part based on love/sex, domination/submission
JND and MANiCURE talk about love as a drug
DWUW and Swine are the ragey songs where her "pain explodes", and ARTPOP is in the middle to soften it.
Donatella, Fashion! and MJH talk about fun, not serious things, letting herself go.
Dope, Gypsy and Applause make a progression to the final act : she breaks down in Dope and she thinks she's a mess and will never recover and beg everyone to forgive her, she gains hope again in Gypsy ans shows all her love, and finally gains confidence again in Applause.
As Joanne is not a conceptual album, it's hard to find parts in it... You can find some things, as the more political and serious messages at the end, and more fun things at the beginning but it's not always true.

To me what make ARTPOP and Joanne similar is the "show her true self" thing (not on Diamond Heart but musically), doing a mix of serious and fun stuff, doing a mix of raw music and electro (because yes ARTPOP had that). But they're similar in their opposition too (ARTPOP was about her as an artist and celebrity, when Joanne is about her as the woman she is with her family and friends) and they show two different rebirths.
