Album covers for inspiration

The Foo Fighters Wasting Light album cover is a colourful and cleaver use of angles and portrait shots using the viewpoints and tilts of their head to create multiple interpretations.
According to Barry Reed (Bread and Shutter), 'Viewpoints are more than a position in space, they carry a meaning which helps the viewer to understand the image.'
These images from the viewpoint they are taken, along with the title of the album, imply a colourful and extrovert band, with multiple personalities and persona's within the group.
This could be a good basis of an idea for our album cover, as it uses the colours of the portraits to great affect against the shaded background, and creates an affect for the distinction of the album.
