Evan 0 Posted May 31, 2012 They shoulda just altered some Pavement albums cover. This is just freaky and Thomas Dolby's The Golden Age of Wireless is fantastic. However, the cover is just lame. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morgan33 4,108 Posted May 31, 2012 Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked RainWhaaat?That's a great album cover (like all their records). It was the perfect counterpoint to the Slanted and Enchanted cover released 2 years prior 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnWis97 4,571 Posted June 1, 2012 The award for the absolute worst album cover ever SHOULD go to the Scorpions for the original artwork to the album "Virgin Killer" I don't want to see it again, so a quick Google search should suffice. NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR PUBLIC!!!What makes that cover even more disturbing is how some of the band stood by that cover for a while. Over time they have lessened their "support" but still...I had never heard of this. So I googled it. I wish I had not. That was all kinds of disturbing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JGCleveland 1 Posted June 1, 2012 I actually have always liked this cover. From a design standpoint it's a mess, but I think it really captured the sound and style of De La Soul, along with the time it was made, so it worked.Anways: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the admiral 28,725 Posted June 3, 2012 Did you know all those horrid Pen & Pixel covers are basically done on an assembly line? I saw some British documentary on it. Some guy just cranks out various tropes and throws them together with no real thought. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRM_PTX 2 Posted June 17, 2012 Not necessarily bad, just bland. For Joshua Tree they should've had a picture of the actual Joshua Tree with a simple and small "U2" in one of the corners. Apologies for the HUGE pictures. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Discogod 427 Posted November 16, 2013 Quite possibly my favourite album of all time, but just an appalling cover. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
connriv 6 Posted November 16, 2013 I'm amazed at what some of you consider a "good" album. Panic at the Disco?? Creed??!?!? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EddieJ1984 1,654 Posted November 16, 2013 Per wikipediaThe album's artwork, featuring a plastic skull with tinfoil, was not intended to be the original artwork.[10] Both Mustaine and Ellefson had many phone conversations with Combat Records to get the cover artwork properly reproduced from a sketch given to them by Mustaine of a picture of Megadeth mascot Vic Rattlehead on the cover. However the studio lost the artwork, and instead made their own improvised and low-budget replacement, with which Mustaine and the whole band were mortified.[4] 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cappital92 46 Posted November 16, 2013 This cover was banned in Spain. The reason it was banned was because of the prostitutes, but can we just pretend it was because of the use of Mistral? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davidellias 235 Posted November 16, 2013 Most modern Album covers are pretty bland or bad in my opinion. Case in Point. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
