08.16.24 | Yeah that Disturbed album has always been gross |
FearThyEvil
08.16.24 | 26 actually rules though and 31 I find ok. The rest are pretty damn awful for sure |
Rowhaus
08.16.24 | Updated!
@bighubba yeah I'm honestly baffled I didn't think of it for the prior list. One of the most grotesque covers ever honestly.
@Fear feet just gross me out in general, so it's probably a personal thing. Also I always thought that Carcass album was just super weird with all the coloring and the images. |
FearThyEvil
08.16.24 | I can definitely understand that about both albums, especially if you don't like feet lmao. Just for a theme it really fit that. God I forgot how dreadful that Lady Gaga album cover is. |
Rowhaus
08.16.24 | It's been interesting digging these up. Anything involving conjoined faces or body parts, uneasy facial expressions, awkward nudity, or jarring color patterns seems to ruffle my feathers. And yeah that Gaga cover is one of the worst things I've ever seen. I'm amazed it took so long to remember it lol |

Check my list on strange album cover Row. Bit different to Ugly but you might find some more that qualify |
Typhoon24
08.16.24 | i think some are just tasteless, others are obscene, and others are overly simple n basic |
NexCeleris
08.16.24 | Mortiis - The Stargate |
Rowhaus
08.16.24 | @bighubba wow we had a lot of overlap already! I snagged a few that I definitely think qualify. That Ringo album is the stuff of nightmares oh my god... |
SharkTooth
08.16.24 | Check out Prince's entire discography, lotsa bad album covers in that one |

Sinternet
08.16.24 | a fair few of these are perfectly fine |
SomeCallMeTim
08.16.24 | list needs GodWeenSatan: The Oneness |
Purpl3Spartan
08.16.24 | lol 68 is literally just someone using a meme template as a cover |
arthropod
08.16.24 | We might need more instances of the list. The ugly / low effort / cursed cover arts multiply like the Hydra's heads. |
TheSonomaDude
08.16.24 | @purple3spartan true lmao but it does exist for some reason |
cylinder
08.16.24 | 66 is great
still can't believe 74 is real tho |
Shiranui
08.16.24 | Let's make the list of male genital artwork complete: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/images/albums/493654.jpg |
Rowhaus
08.16.24 | Ended up in the pornogrind section of sput. Picked a couple out but holy shit that was bad. I had more here but they were so fucking repulsive I had to take them down. |
arthropod
08.16.24 | what the actual fuck is 90
I thought my damned state was free of this degenerate satan shit |
Rowhaus
08.16.24 | @arthropod I took it down. Genuinely made me sick smh |
Ladron93
08.16.24 | Yep, plenty of album covers are gross. Good list, Rowhaus. xP
Mayhem one is brutal.
I stick with The Birthday Party's Junkyard and Type O Negative's Slow, Deep, and Hard from your previous list. |
arthropod
08.16.24 | @Rowhaus Me too. Even in comparison to other ugly things here that one's overkill. |
Ladron93
08.16.24 | It's funny you didn't mention Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica (1969). That was one of the weirdest album covers I've seen years ago. xP
I don't know if Saigon Blue Rain - Oko looks ugly, but it has some degeneracy in it. |
anode
08.16.24 | i really wanna know who thought that bee gees cover was a good idea |
ConcubinaryCode
08.17.24 | Some of these are iconic straight up |
lz41
08.17.24 | wtf is 85 |
efp123
08.17.24 | Great question, my god |
SharkTooth
08.17.24 | I'm actually kinda surprised you haven't yet put Kevo Muney - Baby G.O.A.T., that thing is legendarily awful |
Rowhaus
08.17.24 | Updated! Still have a few spots left |
PsychLizard
08.17.24 | Songs From the Big Chair is cheesy af as well. Makes me sad cuz there are bangers on there |
cylinder
08.19.24 | The Offspring - Let the Bad Times Roll |
TheManMachine
08.19.24 | oh cmon trout mask replica, really |
cylinder
08.19.24 | ^ was just thinking that |
MillionDead
08.19.24 | 4, 23, 64, 74, 78, 89, & 92 are all undeserving of this slander. Even Deep Web is pretty iconic in context. |
cylinder
08.19.24 | icockic |
MillionDead
08.19.24 | Very |
Rowhaus
08.19.24 | I feel like some covers are ugly by intention, while others are just abject misses. There's a certain subjectivity about it too. I personally hate off-colors, conjoined faces, unsettling nudity, clowns and feet. I feel like a lot of people would agree lmao |
KevinKC
08.19.24 | Deftones Adrenaline Cover is truly detrimental to the album. You don't feel like listening to this. |
Rowhaus
08.19.24 | I've always found that cover super ugly and don't really know why. Can't stand the sight of it ugh. |
arthropod
08.19.24 | Well, if we define "pretty" as 1 and "ugly" as -1, that one's a 0. So dull that it scares me off as a listener. |
Rowhaus
08.19.24 | grotesque dullness is the perfect way to describe it lol |
ConcubinaryCode
08.22.24 | My theory for the aspirator on Adrenaline is that it's a throwback tongue in cheek art in the way the cures three imaginary boys was. The soft focus on an infant instrument and elegant logo contrast against the heavier music. Nothing else makes sense to me. |
arthropod
08.22.24 | Why CoE? |
Rowhaus
08.22.24 | It's horrid. Have you really looked at the horse on that cover? Makes me wanna pour bleach in my eyes |
arthropod
08.22.24 | Fair enough. |
Rowhaus
08.22.24 | Skull guy isn't bad, but I just can't get past that horse. Makes me wince in pain lmao |
JeetJeet
08.22.24 | 47 is the one cover that doesn't belong on the list. Shit looks pretty cool. All the others are pure ass tho |
arthropod
08.22.24 | Yeah, the horse should go to a vet.
For euthanasy. |
alamo
08.22.24 | some of these actually rule |
XyphDryne
09.20.24 | Hm, I like 94. But 30 is indeed sinful.
Other covers worth mentioning:
Hexx - Morbid reality
Apophis - Heliopolis
De Infernali - Symphonia De Infernali |
alamo
09.22.24 | seether - isolate and medicate |
