I remember browsing through a list of intentionally similar album covers on Discogs. https://www.discogs.com/lists/Parody-Tribute-Imitation-Inspiration/268989 While I really enjoyed browsing these, I wondered if you know some album covers which are unintentionally similar to others? I'd give the following example:   ------------- ________ ...that the storm really doesn't matter until the storm begins to get you down |

I don't know about unintentionally similar, but:   ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

I shared Magus / The Winter Tree's this visual art in our "Cover Chain Game", in the Just For Fun section. I believe this was not intentional. But, probably is related to the subconscious of the cover artist of Magus / The Winter Tree's album entitled Twilight of the Magicians. I tend to see such things within the scope of that which we call "coincidence". The tree has a rather obscure "schizoid" face, and the neurotic eyes seems like looking in the same direction. The opening of the mouth is quite similar too. BTW, I'm quite a lunatic in likening things to each other. But only occasionally mention them in order not to be seen as mad.

Burnin Red Ivanhoe - M144 versus Jethro Tull - Stand Up (both 1969 I think). The original vinyl release of M144 had a gatefold sleeve which - if you opened it - had a cardboard figure of a puppet theatre that stood up. Just like the stand-up photo of Tull.
