Default **Worst Album Covers Ever**




Who the hell designs these things.

Oh, and Mystery To Me is listed as one of the worst CD covers ever, according to http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/featur.../index10.shtml I've always quite liked it though

Oh, that's BS. Mystery to Me cover is great.
Also? ElectricLarryland, Butthole Surfers - not one of the worst.

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen! At the same time...very disturbing.

Bare Trees is so bleakly beautiful. I get depressed just looking at it. The one I've never cared for is Tusk.

I love the Tusk cover. It went against all that was expected of them. The bare trees cover is great, but i agree, it is very bleak

The best BN era cover would have to be TITN - i love arty covers

Me neither. I think it's, to quote our dear departed Dissy, whoreanus.

They could have done something "different" and "not expected of them" and at the same time have it be an aesthetically pleasing album cover. The Tusk cover sucks.
