Bad Album Covers!

[monina]

I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of music, as most people do.
However, sometimes you find an album cover that is a little interesting.
This thread is solely dedicated to bad, ugly or even just odd album covers.
I will start with;

i worship this band and always will but this cover ain't much good - perhaps it was considered cool in the early 80's but it just doesn't stand up at all now

I have many...

We need to get more controversial here. Its endearing but this shit is goofy and looks like an advertisement for people who would come to chuck e cheese to perform for children

 

[zombie100379]

the band had just come across this photo (a real couple) and decided to use it for an album - the woman sued and they eventually changed it for a pic of the band

tad were also sued by pepsi because of the cover art of the single " jack pepsi "

The album itself is great, mind you.

speaking on good albums with bad covers

If you want to see something truly bad look up Enochian - Night Monumental Evil. Can't post it here because it has titties but I assure you you won't regret it.

Easy:

Looks kinda cool at first! Then you learn what was used to create the "illustration," and, well...

Somehow, I correctly guessed it before googling what it was

I think this one is "fine" (and the music is amazing), but something about that model or sculpture or whatever is unsettling.

Hip Hop's got plenty, especially during the 2000's.

Original Green Day album art donut steel!!!
Seriously though, this just looks like the American Idiot cover but vandalized. And not in a cool way either.

Something about it gives me difficulty to read the words, even though I can tell things apart just fine.

 

[zombie100379]

not a very exciting cover

but the album is quite good
(metallica meets prog glam with harmonies)

The Black Sabbath album cover that the artist made shitty on purpose with the hope of getting taken off the job, but the producer was an idiot and actually liked it. Also, an awful album too. From an embarrassing time for the band

I read somewhere that Iommi liked the cover and that's why they went with it. The album isn't great but it has its moments, few and far between as they are.

Black Sabbath was pretty much dead at that point, so much so that Seventh Star was supposed to be a solo project but whoever was in charge of the distribution basically said that either it would be a Black Sabbath album or it wouldn't be an album at all.

Good thing they found Tony Martin after that. Many say that albums Sabbath did with Martin aren't as good as the ones they did with with Ozzy or Dio and sure, I can see the argument, but I'm not gonna lie, they've grown on me over the years with the exception of Forbidden.

 

[John Adams]

I love Queen and I like The Miracle, but the cover...

 

[Zerpina]

Always have loved this one from Slayer

 

[nathman]

I always found the Pablo Honey album cover to be out of place. It just always felt like something that was slapped together last minute.

 

[Lokgamer]

As bad as the album

 

[Electronic Shuze]

cover aside the album is just ok , nothing mind blowing, nothing mind shrinking just eh

 

[nathman]

Of course how could I forget?
