Classic Alt Rock Album Covers Reimagined With Legos

A good album cover adds a certain kind of dynamism to the music within, creating the complete package and listening experience. A great album cover becomes just as recognizable as the songs inside, carving out its own spot in music history. That’s why it was a small bit of genius when the creator behind the Lego Albums Tumblr started recreating beloved record covers with, you guessed it -- Legos.

OK, so they’re not built with actual Legos, but the Tumblr’s creator redesigns the covers almost color-for-color with a Lego-like effect, while keeping the classic covers instantly recognizable. Check out the reimagined Lego versions side-by-side with the classic originals -- plus, some newer albums -- in the gallery above.
