17 INSULTINGLY BAD ALBUM COVERS (Who Approved These?)

[@lars-kristian8619]

Please do 17 good album covers! There are so many great ones

[@ataco1770]

Lars-Kristian Plastic Beach by Gorillaz and Black Holes & Revelations are my favorites

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

Any Converge LP art, the Bell Witch (Mirror Reaper) art, Muse LP art, Radiohead LP art (most of them IMHO), My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, Pink Floyd's LP art, Napalm Death (expect for Smear Campaign), the Maine has some great LP art, Black Sabbath has consistent artwork, Iron Maiden (Dance of Death doesn't count its thier worst LP art), Metallica, Power Trip, Full Of Hell had has some AMAZING art for thier music, Code Orange, Nails, Paramore, Pusha T, Prince, QtSA, RHCP, Sigur Ros, Silver Mt. Zion, GY!BE, Kanye West (TLOP has a horrible LP cover so that one doesn't count) Sonic Youth (daydream nation & goo), A Tribe Called Quest, Slayer, SUNN0))), the XX and most Bjork's LP art, or Bowie covers (except for the Next Day, that felt like a lazy rehash of the LP art for Heroes.) tl;dr - God, I said LP too many times. honourable mentions: U2, Soilwork, Pantera (Reinventing the Steel had a shitty LP art though), Led Zepplin NIN, the National, Interpol (self-titled and Our Love to Admire, are my least favourite covers), Enslaved (RIITR, In Times, E), the Beatles, (the LP covers after Revolver), TDEP, Electric Wizard, Mayhem (their first album though) and Grand Magus. Ok, my list, is done.

[@godnotavailable2094]

Infinity On High by Fall Out Boy and Black Sabbath's self-titled are easily my top 2.

[@tyronescringeheaven1120]

[@fatlighty]

"are we supposed to pick between wether we want family or we want ass?" i think there is a much higher meaning behind it. kanye used music to present his deepest feelings, the person he really is, and the philosophical question of what is really important in life. also, he wanted to show that he got both, family and ass.

[@IanTHATWAY]

yeah, I agree. In the album kanye often talks about his current life and the struggles of choosing between family and the girls and lifestyle he's use to.

I don't like Taylor Swift's Fearless Platinum Edition album cover. The normal version with the beige background doesn't bother me. But whoever was hired to design the platinum version did a shit job at changing the background to black. If you look closely, you can still see bits and pieces of the beige in her hair that they forgot to get rid of. Why, just why?

[@captainayaaya28]

Definitely not the worst but definitely one of the laziest. (Also good with her Lover albums cover)

[@ladydontekno]

This list needed Mosquito by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea to have an album cover that looked like it belonged to a late 80s third tier funk metal band that you'd find in the dollar bin in a used record store.

Iron Maiden usually has fantastic album art. I guess the Dance of Death cover just came about when digital art started becoming a thing.

[@roseredmayne]

The Gaga cover freaked me out when I was like 13 years old and I had to change the cover in my itunes library to a normal picture of her. Lmao totally deserves a spot on this list.

[@quentinchilds4007]

The insultingly bad album cover that makes me wince is the debut self-titled mixtape, "Lil Pump" by Lil Pump. Not to be rude, but the artwork and the caricature of Lil Pump is sort of off-putting.

[@peanutbutterpikachu]

Quentin Childs personally I think it's decent. But the art style looks like something off of GoAnimate.

[@aburden4148]

I was going to comment the same thing. I don't like his cover art at all. I think the cartoonish style is really ugly

The Iron Maiden one looks like an unfinished 3D animation.

I had to look up the Iron Maiden album because I literally could not believe that that was real but it is, and in fact, the Wikipedia page says: The computer-generated cover art was provided by David Patchett,[10] who allegedly asked for his name to be removed from the album's credits after the band decided to use an unfinished version,[11] which was received negatively.[12] Dickinson later called the cover "embarrassing".[13] So at least they know.
