This is a great thread, was flicking through the collection this morning looking for blues and ended up listening to some classics I haven't put on in a long time

Funnily enough I wacked on Nocturnus - The Key after seeing it mentioned in this thread.  Think I will have to stick on Fly By Night now!   

The favourite blue ones I can think off the top of my head
Maiden - Seventh Son
Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper
Devin Townsend - Ocean birth machine
Dream Theater - Change of Seasons (EP but whatever, there's shorter albums than the title track!)
Rush - Fly by Night
Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World
Porcupine Tree- Fear of a Blank Planet
Pink Floyd  -  The Division Bell
Symphony X - Paradise Lost (kinda grey but slightly blue tinted)

Great idea for a thread. I don't tend to pay as much attention to album artwork in the last few years, since going digital it doesn't stand out as much which is a shame.

Also posting this as it's the best traditional heavy metal album of the 2010 even though it's a shite cover.



All this blue is very mellowing I must say! Plenty of stuff there I've never heard as well, nice one lads.

This album always looked grey to me, is this how I find out I'm colour blind  :o

It's definitely borderline, I think there's so many reissues of it, it might even depend on which one you have.

This thread has been a bit of a head wreck. There have been plenty of albums I think of as being predominantly blue but, when I have a look at the cover, they're not blue at all, or barely so. One example being Testimony of the Ancients. The penny has dropped that it's because of the colour of the cassette inlay, in my head I still associate it with the album cover as a whole. When I wanted to hear that album, I would look for the blue spine on the shelf, same for Unquestionable Presence, though that has at least a decent splash of blue. Cunty 😂
