owen
12.17.16 | i like the norma jean cover |
Drifter
12.17.16 | I like 19 and 10's covers and I love the randomness of TLOP |
Ovrot
12.17.16 | i'm not a fan of the deftones but that album cover is pretty cool |
JeetJeet
12.17.16 | A lot of these are pretty trash yea. Norma Jean's is dumb but the album is great so its forgivable. The worst ones are A7X and Beartooth though. |
Enzx
12.17.16 | where is against the current? |
Enzx
12.17.16 | its bad |
FullOfSounds
12.17.16 | OneRepublic's new one is so bad |

12.17.16 | damn he changed the double post |
rabidfish
12.17.16 | All of these are terrible, agree.
Hotelier one especially cringy. |
FullOfSounds
12.17.16 | I love 19's tbh |
wwf
12.17.16 | 27, Norma Jean's, Death Grips' and Chance's are all good but the rest range from meh to megaultracringe so yeah |
Evenoss
12.17.16 | Watch the Chance's cover more closely. As a graphic designer, believe me, it's pretty painful.
Most of these covers (beside the top 10) are not horrendous but there's something wrong (uninspired, unoriginal, outdated, unsightly, stupid, poorly designed...) |
Astral Abortis
12.17.16 | The Chance cover is fine. As a graphic designer, your job is to know what will appeal to the general public -- the so-called "rules" all your art teachers told you are complete rubbish. |
Astral Abortis
12.17.16 | 17 is an awesome cover btw |
Evenoss
12.17.16 | 'As a graphic designer, your job is to know what will appeal to the general public'
This is my personal opinion and taste. I'm sure that covers like 11, 30 or 34 will please their respective audience.
Subjectivity...

adr
12.17.16 | Most of these are shit agreed, but 31 is great imo and 18 isn't bad either |

12.17.16 | "This is my personal opinion and taste. I'm sure that covers like 11, 30 or 34 will please their respective audience."
You literally just pulled the "as a graphic designer..." card to try and make it an objective statement about it being bad when wwf said he liked it. Being a graphic designer is to know subjectively how to appeal to your audience.
Don't pull the "I'm a graphic designer" card if you're gonna double-back on it one comment later and contradict yourself. |

Maco097
12.17.16 | Terrible covers indeed. |
Evenoss
12.17.16 | I said that talking about the Chance's cover, which doesn't look bad at first sight, but 'only' graphic designers will notice how badly designed it is (technically) |
JeetJeet
12.17.16 | The cover for 27 is actually pretty dope. |
dmp3131
12.17.16 | Some of these are actually pretty good...but I agree with your top 13 for sure. |
swallowtales
12.17.16 | i like 10 a lot and think gore is pretty aight too |
ScuroFantasma
12.17.16 | I like 10s cover, a couple of the others are alright like 14, 23, 26 and 28 - passable. The rest are pretty terrible yeah. |

12.17.16 | devildriver - trust no one |
DoofusWainwright
12.17.16 | 27 is probably the best sleeve of the year though smh
Usher does look like the leader of the baby eating Thenns from Game of Thrones on his album cover |
DoofusWainwright
12.17.16 | My least favourite sleeve of 2016 is handily paired with probably my least favourite album - seven words: figure of eight turd in the sky
You guessed it, Dunce Gavin Dunce |
DoofusWainwright
12.17.16 | 18 and 21 are genuinely inspired agreed |
CzechyGuy
12.17.16 | 7 should have made top three tbh |
rabidfish
12.17.16 | 1 is 1, tho |
DoofusWainwright
12.17.16 | 7 is so bad it gets close to being adorable though
Ever since Korn invited fans to submit album art for 'Issues' all their subsequent artwork has looked of a similar quality xD |
Evenoss
12.17.16 | I love the Hotelier's cover but still had to include it here |
DoofusWainwright
12.17.16 | Only just noticed 3...it's crying out to me.
What's it saying? "I'll help your objectivity score Doofus Wainwright" |
anat
12.17.16 | my love for 17 notwithstanding, its cover is excellent |
Conmaniac
12.17.16 | 27 is cool, Norma Jean is cool, Chance's is aesthetically pleasing, and I don't mind 16-22. rest are pretty bad |
DANcore
12.17.16 | You skipped over the worst one I think I've ever seen
Abbath-Abbath |

12.17.16 | I never caught the Norma Jean cover lol |

12.17.16 | Nice pick Dan, that Abbath cover is pretty cringy |

12.18.16 | 26, 22 and 15 are sweet, dunno what you're on about |

12.18.16 | top six are embarrassing. EJ is out to lunch and has been for years. |
