Am I supposed to know what album this is?

More of the same... Don't ask me why there's no text on the cover.

...or you could provide a link to the album along with the picture, or just state the artist and title.

I think this one's a Porcupine Tree album as well, because the picture looks familiar from a GMAC or GMSC entry.

Why does any of this matter? The people who know the album cover might react to the post and the ones who don't will not give a shit. You've never asked me for recommendations.

Yep, that's another Poprcupine Tree album called 'Deadwing'. The title track and Arriving Somewhere but not here are my favourites from that album.
 
In Absentia appeared in GMAC back then, not too sure about Deadwing. If the latter one did I must've voted without listening. It easily could've, the 00s were quite the hot streak for the band, as far as I know.

What’s the point of posting what you’re playing if the only way for people to know what it is is to already know what it is (or to have to do a reverse image search)? Posting what you’re listening to is an indirect recommendation of sorts. If someone thinks it looks interesting, they should be able to follow up on it easily.

I just post the album cover, but the cover is a link to the YouTube playlist so anyone can click on it and see what it is and listen if they like. If the album cover doesn’t say what the band or album title is, then at least posting that text along with the picture seems like the neighborly thing to do…

I suppose you have a point. Most people fortunately put their name on the cover. In this particular case I'm a bit surprised you didn't recognise In Absentia or that Steven Wilson album I posted earlier. I feel like those come up in music media all the time.
