Is text on album covers really tacky?

This question has been doing the rounds on X and I have to say, I'm firmly on the other side of that argument. I've always loved seeing typography become part of the artwork rather than just a title sitting on top of it.

So I wanted to put that idea to the test with an imagined album called Nothing Stays Still, inspired by change, fleeting moments and everything in between:)

I played around with the lettering until it felt expressive, a little restless, and inseparable from the photograph.

Because I think badly considered typography is tacky. Typography itself? Give it a chance :)

What's an album cover where the type really makes it for you?

Such a vibe I love it
