Really crap album covers

nyarlothothep

Ones that are wtf? I'll get started



This looks like an advertisement for digital cameras.

Hayzooz

No way! That's the best thing about that album!

Here's a crap cover for you:


..and it's twin is just as bad:

ValJester

Ruddy hell that's lazy

Hayzooz

hahaha that's pretty bad alright!

Morrissey has expressed a dislike for this one, said he looks like he's on the toilet



Hate this one too...all the creativity of an Apprentice task:

ValJester

They couldn't have done another take,could they?

mike65

Come people, get hardcore







and of course



Without whom no bad album cover thread would be complete!

phasers

ValJester

As devoid of ideas or inspiration as the music of Hard-Fi.

Shot Of Love by Bob Dylan, not posting it as I refuse to look at it!!! Worst album cover ever.

And who can forget Mrs. Miller?

The idea wasn't too bad as they felt album art wasn't important anymore because of downloads. If they did a blank white cover with no writing it would have been fine but they were stupid enough to put all that writing on.

I've always found this one truly astonishing. Do we know what made her think this was a good idea?

I can't even imagine what the meetings were like as the photos came in, and someone cropped them and chose a good font, and discussed the liner notes - and all the time nobody cried "STOP!" What were they on?

She was actually a very well known and highly respected soul artist in the 70s which makes it even more strange.

I love that album cover!

Not so much for its technical qualities which are fine, but the 'thump the forehead' literalness of the visual.

Infamous E

This is just plain old offensive.

Blisterman

If you're ever heard Rage's music. They're not exactly subtle.

Yes. I've heard their music. It's supposed to be this 'persuasive ,let's rock against the man' music.

How is the album cover supposed to be persuading anyone to rise against authority? If anything it shows they are a bit naiive. I doubt they've ever experienced or will experience what the man in that picture went through.In my opinion the aim was to hock their chessy merchendise sorry. A picture of a man being burned alive is not cool,especially one that died for what he believed in ,in such extreme circumstances.

Or else they're pointing out what lengths some people go to in support of their ideals, while others do absolutely nothing at all.
But I dunno, I haven't asked them

Hayzooz

Yawn.

Getting back to the point of the thread, instead of showing moronic googled "joke" covers of albums no one has ever previously heard of, here is one of my worst from my itunes:

Coldplay trying way too hard:

Bus77II

Thought this sort of funny when I saw it. Tryin out new colors.

These lads spent years bandwagon jumping on conflicting causes and using imagery and second-hand slogans that make f-all sense outside of being provocative.

Sure, the lead single from the album in question was Christmas number 1, 17 years after it was released, on the same label as the song it was "raging against", they're champagne communists and renowned hypocrites so don’t let their choice of album art get to you too much.

REALLY do not like this.

Metallica's Black Album was terrible. Lets get a 3 year old to draw a snake, put it in a black colour, against a darker black. Yay!

Oh c'mon, that's hilarious because of the Movie, but the black album is just pathetic in terms of artwork.

Setun

This album cover makes me weep. Shame because it's not a bad record (although the synths are a little dated).
