Covers that have shitty t-shirts
These album covers deserve way better merch than they usually have. |
| 1 |  | Sleep
Sleep's Holy Mountain
The world is so lacking in a shirt that is this album cover all over. Just sticking it on a black shirt doesn't do it justice.
(Am I the no1 Sleep Stan on this site?) |
| 2 |  | Melt-Banana
Fetch
Again could use a version that just doesn't stick it in a rectangle in the middle, but flows freely. |
| 3 |  | Coroner
Mental Vortex
Almost every version I've seen has the band and album name stuck on it, which kind of detracts from that lovely visual on Anthony Perkins' face stuck in said titular vortex. |
| 4 |  | D.R.I.
Thrash Zone
I can't believe there isn't a version with just the moshing figure's silhouette. That's all you need. |
| 5 |  | Mr. Bungle
Disco Volante
There has to be a way to turn that eye into a cool tshirt, right? |
| 6 |  | Fudge Tunnel
Fudgecake
An all-purple one of this, yeah? |
| 7 |  | Poison Idea
Ian Mackaye
Also for some reason a very underrepresented cover on tshirts. Hmh. |
| 8 |  | Godflesh
Godflesh
Another case of the band name fucking up a good shirt. |
| 9 |  | Neurosis
Times of Grace
This (https://s3.amazonaws.com/dev1.mtimg.com/product_photos/imgs/000/048/106/full/NR_TogT-1.png?1568902216) is the best one I've seen so far, but again, the freaking name seems to be shitting all over it. |
| 10 |  | The KLF
The White Room
It really needs a version without the text and just the speakers.
(also lol KLF is being super slept on on this site, like some inconsequential death metal bands get hundreds of ratings and The White Room is on 50 odd something ratings) |
| 11 |  | Lightning Bolt
Wonderful Rainbow
One of those knockoff sites almost got this one right but then kept the sleeves black. Whatever. Brian really should start putting his artwork on tshirts more, but I guess he'd scoff at the idea (seems he hates merch in general which I can't argue with). |
| 12 |  | Pestilence
Consuming Impulse
I know everyone hates this cover but I kinda love it. Some shirts have got the fading right on the ants. The band name isn't as distracting as usual. Still, if some goober made an ALL ANT VERSION of this shirt, I'd fucking sleep in it every night. |
| 13 |  | Enslaved
Isa
JUST MAKE THE STRIPE GO THE WHOLE WAY FOR FUCKS SAKE. |
| 14 |  | Kraftwerk
The Man-Machine
Kraftwerk shirts usually get it that it's all about the minimalism (Autobahn tshirts look great every time) but it's nearly impossible to find one of this with just the guys from a reputable vendor. |
| 15 |  | Shellac
1000 Hurts
Also could really use an all-over version. It's look dorky as hell and that's the point. |
| 16 |  | Judas Priest
Screaming for Vengeance
They're all just missing those followup stripes on the left. So much potential. |
| 17 |  | Melvins
Bullhead
Seriously? Nobody's done a fully blue version of this that isn't just the basket stuck on it with the contours? |
| 18 |  | The Residents
The Third Reich 'n Roll
I mean, I get that the idea of a Residents shirt is stupid in and of itself, but fuck would that make a good one. Then again, just googling it gives me White Lives Matter tshirts, so... maybe not. |
| 19 |  | Ulver
Shadows of the Sun
Man, everyone's tried, but no-one has translated this cover to a shirt perfectly just yet. |
| 20 |  | Rapeman
Two Nuns and a Pack Mule
Now this is a band-name-only shirt I can get behind! |
