(#8) Somewhere in Time
- 1986
Dozens of images and hidden meanings are looming within the art of Iron Maiden's sixth release, including a hidden Tardis, a nod to The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, a shout-out to Tory Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher ("Maggie's Revenge"), a nod to Led Zeppelin, Batman (on the bridge), and tons of references to their earlier work. But one of the more hidden and interesting details is a message written on a sign reflected in the window of the Bradbury Towers Hotel (at the bottom) that says "This is a very boring painting."
Also, note the brain held by lead singer Bruce Dickinson, a nod to their release "Piece of Mind."

About This Tool
The albums with a well-designed cover can convince buyers and sell well in the retail market. Then music, as one of the most abstract art forms, needs to spend more thought on translating them into designs that appeal to consumers. Unique and meaningful album covers can not only increase album sales but also become an integral part of the music.
Some classic albums not only carry the most popular songs but also contain some special details in covers. The random tool explained 15 creepy hidden details in those album covers that you may do not know. The design of the cover does not have to add various elements if the picture itself can tell the audience the content and the story.
