It's so wrong that you can't help but to be amazed over how absurd and insensitive it is, that it becomes a great album cover just for the audacity of it all.

an album cover review where we never clearly get to see the full artwork... very bold choice

[@IntergalacticSpaceKitten]

Fun Fact I found out and would like to share: Looking up that Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock thing, apparently these guys also would do weird shit like package their cd's with 3 bags of dog shit, or body hair, and one was an "anti-album" where they included an industrial grinding real instead of a CD which would destroy your player if you played it.

[@maxcheese382]

The queen album cover is actually kind of dope art tho idk about it as an album cover but the way the faces line up is done really well how they share eyes

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]

Black Flag had a lot of very pixelated and poorly done albums covers, and I'm glad someone is finally talking about it

[@MegaTempo22]

"The Miracle' album cover is rather creepy (the inner sleeve even creepier). But it was "News of the World" with the robot squishing the band members to death that scared me as a child. Apparently, it scared Seth Macfarlane as a kid as well.

[@ifpiewasgood]

I actually made a Viper album cover when I was in high school... So maybe about 7 or 8 years ago now. Obviously, I put very little effort into it and just sent it to him. We texted for a while and he kept requesting minor edits. Eventually he sent me a bunch of raw footage and said he wanted me to make a music video and that he would pay me in "stock" for his real estate venture he would be launching. It made me chuckle when the tweet said he should "hire" someone with photoshop because he literally does not hire people.
