Hmmm, not always

Try to buy TOOL albums, for example. They got great packaging even won Grammys for it. The tea is Grammy actually have award for CD packaging. 

 

Of course there are exceptions but most albums comes in jewel cases in the U.S. walk around Best Buy Target Walmart and you won't see anything different. Last time I saw something really different was Katy's candy-scented Album  (IDK if it's jewel case or digipack)

while in my country most of the albums are not jewel case and all in different sizes and shapes

the only issue i have with digipacks is that i'd have to rebuy the whole album to replace a damaged one

with jewel cases, they can be easily replaced but yes, they are boring  

I don't like digipacks either unless they come in a slip case

Digipacks fall open too easily and thus easily damaged

My personal opinion, this should have been the album cover:

 

I would also have loved more of this lewk:

It's worth every penny! like that packaging encourages fans to buy physical cds. It has posters, lyric booklets, mini magazines, photoshoots and sometimes even personalized messages from the acts. Imagine if a popgirl did something similar. I think it would be really beneficial. Like Taylor apparently does something similar to a smaller extent and her fans buy a lot of physical cds which will always be better than downloading music imo.

How Gaga hyped ARTPOP in 2012. I would have thought the packaging would be artsy-tech like this chair:

But hopefully she experiments something different like this for LG6.

This shoot should have been the album shoot. I'll never understand why it wasn't. I dont care that she got Jeff Koons to make her a statue. This shoot is still better. That shot with the closeup of her face with that visor thing was made to be the album cover.

i was in class (graphic design class too) when this came out and i was like "wow she's using fan art!" but it's not even fan art

I Love ARTPOP’s album cover! It’s  the only one I would call “colorful”, and it’s perfectly fitting for how messy (Wonderfully messy, IMO) ARTPOP is as an album and how it played out as an era. All of her album covers have been very appropriate as far as im concerned.

Not going to lie and I really can't explain why but I do however like that artrave shirt in the tour merch that uses that image of her. Ive always wanted one lol

Like its cheap looking but thats kind of why i like it. but ANYWAY for the official tour promotional poster and everything like.....i totally agree. especially the album packaging. i know its most peoples least favorite album but it still deserved better. like i really want a peek into what they talk about when they're making their creative decisions because im like of everything you could do how do they go where they go sometimes?

[Smother Em Eh 7,095]

Agreed and it suited ARTPOP and it’s concept just so well & was perfect for it to be honest. I hate the cheap optical illusions and the basic and boring design they choose for the Album Art.  And the packaging could’ve way better then just a jewel case. 

If only they put in the AP photoshoot as the album art

But I hope Gaga does this in the nearby future!

ugh, their minds!

imo the album cover only looks good with the foil so idc if it truly isn't limited.  Everything about the album was changed / rushed so it's best to not get into this again and again
