10 Highly Underrated Rock Music Album Covers
10. Folie à Deux - Fall Out Boy
Modern day minstrels and hat aficionados, Fall Out Boy were riding high off the success of their first two albums in 2008. Under the Cork Tree and Infinity on High (the latter of which also had a great cover) were big hits, so the band had to come up with something big for that tricky third album.
Whilst the songs on Folie à Deux didn't quite live up to what would come before or after, the artwork stands out as some of the most eye-catching in the group's history.
The cover, which was painted by Chinese-American pop surrealist Luke Cheuh, depicts two bears. The yellow bear, which is actually a young boy in a costume, is giving a piggyback to the brown one, which is roaring.
Considering the phrase "Folie à Deux" means "A Madness Shared by Two" in French, this artwork is perfect. It captures the idea of carrying your inner demons, which may look like you but in a much scarier form.
The colours also pop off wildly against the dark red background, making it stand out amongst its peers. Elsewhere, the writing on the back of the album is upside down. Just because.
