Good albums with crappy cover art

[YDload]

i think some people will refuse to say anything bad about an album they like, even if something as unimportant as its cover is stupid looking

The Replacements - Tim (what is that crap anyway)

Television - Marquee Moon (ugly)

At the Drive-In - they're all dumb

okay

[Zebra]

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
R.E.M. - Automatic for the People

http://rockpopgallery.easystorecreator.com/images/lepspstsm1s.jpg

yeah, they should have used that one instead. it definately looks cooler.

quite possibly the crappiest album art ever. not a good album either. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/OperationMindcrime2-preview.jpg

[thunderzstruck]

Mew- Frengers
i love the albumn but wow

http://www.hifi.nl/gfx/Mewfront_26-11-03.jpg

[Otherside]

Frengers is alright, especially compared to And the Glass Handed Kites

[The Jungler]

I never really disliked the Mars Volta cover art.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cur00.jpg

This is the first album that I thought of.

[thunderzstruck]

Frengers is alright, especially compared to And the Glass Handed Kites

I find Frengers waay better than And the Glass Handed Kites. I thought that album trying to hard to be big and loud at times. Still a good album though

YD, I like the cover of Tim tbqh :/

[BringHomeTheBacon]

Cursive - Domestica
Respect for the simple DIY approach I guess...

[seamantis]

I think that cover is pretty cool. And a bit lame.

[A Dead Modernist]

Yeah Ive never disliked TMV album art.

[iarescientists]

I really like FTM's album art, but the others I don't really care either way.

[Bukowski]

I find Frengers waay better than And the Glass Handed Kites. I thought that album trying to hard to be big and loud at times. Still a good album though

Frengers is the better album, yeah. Dunno about the cover art though, because I've never seen ATGHK, but I did NOT like Frengers' cover.

okay

I love the cover for tim and marquee moon. the marquee moon cover makes tom verlaine look like such an effing wierdo. i'm pretty sure the guy who took that photo is somewhat of a legend in the photography world these days. whatever happened to cool band photos on the cover of records? i guess everybody looks stupid now.

Tarantula A.D. - Book of Sand

[YourBiggestFan]

Brighten the Corners has a shitty cover. Although that album has a few skip-able tracks. . . Hm. . . oooh! how about Gentleman by Afghan Whigs? That cover just kind of creeps me out. Children cannot engage in intercourse.

[Little Man being Erased]

That Afghan Whigs cover is rad what are you on about? It's better than the album.

[Neoteric]

http://homepage.mac.com/john_kruper/artwork/beach_boys/pet_sounds.jpg

Cheese.

[Six Foot Revolver]

how about Gentleman by Afghan Whigs? That cover just kind of creeps me out. Children cannot engage in intercourse.
The cover art for Gentlemen was great.

[superpeer]

The Bends

[Boilermaker]

I don't really like Double Nickles on the Dime's cover. Don't know why really.

[Neoteric]

It's just not kewl enough....

but yeah, I don't like it either. I don't like The Bends cover as well.

[Eliminator]

wtf how can you not like the double nickels cover

******s

[apple pie]

Modest Mouse -GNFPWLBD

[Boilermaker]

wtf how can you not like the double nickels cover

******s

I liked all their other album covers more.

[Eliminator]

especially this gem

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d5/3waytie.jpg

[Neoteric]

it's pretty original

[The Jungler]

Double Nickels cover art is good.

[guysmy]

kate bush - hounds of love

[seamantis]

The Moon and Antarctica

[The Jungler]

Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped

album isn't brilliant or anything, but the cover art is lazy looking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ratherripped.jpg

[Eliminator]

It's from a poster.

[AlienEater]

most glenn branca symphonies have bad covers

[The Jungler]

It's from a poster.oh, makes sense I guess. That's kind of what I think of when I look at it.

The Ergs! - Dorkrockcorkrod
http://www.whoaohrecords.com/img/covers/big_ergs_dork.jpg


Hahah, I always that it sorta matched the cheesiness of the album. But yeah, it's poorly done.
