    I always thought No Code was similar to other earlier or later albums. Can’t think of them off the top of my head. I’ll have to look.

    There is a slight similarity — if not in content than simply with the idea of assembling different Polaroids to make a cohesive picture — between the covers for No Code and the second album from Talking Heads, More Songs About Buildings and Food.

    Love the continuity of Eddie on all the iron maiden records. If one of you could post a pic of each record in order ( @tempo_n_groove ) that would make my day. (Could just look on discogs) Whatever :/ . Super cool character and hooked me as a young metalhead. Aside from the great music. That album art is something.

    These aren't in order but I am pretty sure this is all of Derek Riggs' work for Maiden.

    I don't really see the iron Maiden covers fitting the topic.

    But yes, it is cool that they have kept a "theme" with their covers. Swedish band Kent did it in a classy way.
