With their new album artwork, A$AP Mob have proven that album covers are always way cooler as GIFs.

When everyone's downloading your record anyway, why submit yourself to the traditional single-frame static album art format? Check out some of our favourite animated album covers.

When everyone’s downloading your record anyway, why submit yourself to the traditional single-frame static album art format? Haven’t you always wanted to see that weird shaggy dog on the cover of Odelay jump over that hurdle?
The single-topic Tumblr Animated Albums has dozens and dozens of original animated album covers, hammering home the untapped potential that this new format has.
The compilation album Lord$ Never Worry will be released tomorrow, but in the meantime, check out some of our favourite animated album covers, courtesy of Animated Albums.
