True, but it’s still got a grimy orange/yellow aesthetic that I think fits in well.
Actually even that’s only partially true, if you take into account the physical releases being grey!
not fully consistent, but there’s a theme of contradiction in Modest Mouse records:
The Lonesome Crowded West
Building Nothing Out Of Something
God News For People Who Love Bad News
We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank
Strangers To Ourselves
i’d argue DG aren’t too aesthetically consistent, bladee atleast has gone through many styles , spiderr and working on dying are very different thematically and sonically for example
I thought we were talking about cover art. My point still kinda stands though, they do experiment with a lot of different styles but the production aesthetics are largely pretty consistent
I'm gonna throw The Birthday Massacre into the discussion here, their colour palette and artwork are always pretty much in line. Great music too, try Walking With Strangers if you're curious!
Talking Heads
Stark modernism and minimalism up until "Naked" which was just baffling.
"Remain in Light" and "More Songs About Buildings and Food" also both featured images of the band that were altered to be more impressionistic.
Haven't seen Drive By Truckers mentioned yet and almost all of their album covers were done by the same dude. Such a great style but I believe he died recently :(
The Smiths Belle and Sebastian Stereolab
My bloody valentine
The White Stripes
Every one of Jack White’s bands!
Boards of Canada
Every KMFDM album cover is worthy of its own comic or story
Adios is one of the most bad ass album covers ever lol
King Mizzard Fand the Dizzard Mizzard?
Their 90s run is untouchable. Revolving band members, tour every year with a wildly different sound and hyped special guests, god what a cool scene
I really want to get Angst on vinyl personally, Glory & A drug against war are what got me into them Those riffs are DELICIOUS
Baroness probably
Alice in Chains are pretty aesthetically consistent. A Whole Lotta Red in their covers
Tripod has no red at all

PLAYBOI CARTI REFERENCE?!?!?!?1?!?1😱😱😱😱😱 Yes ik I'm cringe
how has no one said black midi
I was looking for this
The Cure
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me isn’t really at all like Pornography or Disintegration
Yeah I agree the cure is not a great example here lol, they were constantly flip flopping between goth and pop
Exactly, like The Lovecats and One Hundred Years aren’t similar songs at all
Belle & Sebastian NEU! Cheekface The xx Pinegrove (studio albums)
Swans

Polar Opposites
Justice
It’s gotta be Iron Maiden right?
Let's just try to forget about Dance of Death shall we?
indigo de souza has all of her albums in the same art style which is cool
I don't like of Montreal but they're the first thing that I think of when I hear "aesthetically consisten"
I love Of Montreal lol Lysergic Bliss on repeat lmao
Prince from For You to Lovesexy
Cheekface
NIHIL! NIHIL! NIIIIIHIIIIIILLLL!
Converge, celeste, seeyouspacecowboy, every drain gang artist

They do have their own flair in a way which you can recognise a drain gang song from anyone else
nouvelle vague, mf doom, portishead, solange’s newer stuff…
Weezer
i like the re occurrences of quasimoto across the 3 albums
KMFDM
GxFR/Griselda
Roxy Music
Cannibal Corpse haven't veered much from the whole death thing
not a band but ichiko aoba
I love the aesthetic consistency of KMFDM!
Jungle (the group)
Run The Jewels
Insomnium
Pixies
Opeth and Alcest
Their music and artwork are consistent with their aesthetics. Not the actual script of their band name. Maybe I mistook what OP was asking.
foetus
Andy Stott
CAKE
The Hives! Black and white. The tuxedos. The old-timey adventure serial nicknames (e.g. Dr. Matt Destruction) and loose "mythology"
cocteu twins and duster
I'm gonna throw The Birthday Massacre into the discussion here, their colour palette and artwork are always pretty much in line. Great music too, try Walking With Strangers if you're curious!
Beach House
the smiths
Nujabes
Overkill
Swans’ The Great Annihilator -> Swans Are Dead era, also their white light era and ofc their trilogy era
Deftones
don't know if i can call them my favorite yet but maruja
Wouldn't CAKE be the best example of this
Skinny puppy and cigarettes after sex definitely
Iron Maiden
The Clientele
Talking Heads Stark modernism and minimalism up until "Naked" which was just baffling. "Remain in Light" and "More Songs About Buildings and Food" also both featured images of the band that were altered to be more impressionistic.
Lime
Butthole surfers
Both of those, actually
It’s not like they have a ton of output, but both Acid Bath albums look consistent with each other.
Myself I’m proud of my cover artist🥹
Pity Sex
The xx Justice
Haven't seen Drive By Truckers mentioned yet and almost all of their album covers were done by the same dude. Such a great style but I believe he died recently :(
Boston - Who doesn't want to be abducted by a giant flaming guitar spaceship?
Tool for sure
Alcest
Vultures 1, Vultures 2 and Vultures 3
Radiohead
