14 classic album covers recreated with emojis

by Mark Teo

As we learned from this deceptively moving Oneohtrix Point Never video, emojis aren’t just a new language—emojis are life, maaan. Indeed, there’s no better, and quick, way to express quick-hit emotion from emojis, so really, it was only a matter of time before some slapped a bunch of happy faces with sunglasses onto classic album covers. And the results are downright delightful (though perhaps not as delightful as metal albums with googly eyes.) Bigtime thanks to Pigeons and Planes for this one.
