Terrible album covers

[Lordofthefiles]

What's happening with his arm? It looks like it's part of the chair.

He's got Rod Hulling of the left arm you heartless swine. He spoke about it on Piers Morgan last year.

Mick fella, change your clothes once a while

Bloody orange and teal in modern album covers

Liars'

I was going to say Ludacris is really having an image crisis.

[H-O-W-L]

Storm Thorgerson is one of those people who basically managed to live off about four good Pink Floyd covers. The Wish You Were Here art almost defined him, and that largely stands up because it's framed well and was pretty striking in its day.

And it, like all his consecutive works, was just a big ole' crib from Rene Magritte. What a knobfucker Thorgerson was, honestly. Such an unpleasant seeming man from every interview I saw.

"Lucky friend of Dave Gilmour."

[NJ Uncut]

That's shite AND outdated!!

This MUST be the best album cover The Shadows ever did...

OK then:

What, even better than this?

[H-O-W-L]

OK then:

Sorry, I like that. Mostly because you can tell it's entirely practical and actually there on her norks. Would be easy to shit it up with CGI.

[NJ Uncut]

Gotta admit I've love to hear the Shadows with their electric guitars not plugged in

[NoSleep]

Surely that's Angus Young there?

[Pauline Walnuts]

I feel this one got slightly ignored in the cascade of fetid excreta, and maybe be worth displaying in isolation.




And Jesus Wept.

[Glebe]

Surely that's Angus Young there?

Or Dennis the Menace? Wrong colour jumper, forget it...

Vinyl Tarp

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

OK then:

But this is a fantastic album cover. _{(Also I would like to have sex with Charli XCX, in case she's reading)}

Finally, decades later, realising there's faces in the strawberries has pushed this over the edge for me

[NJ Uncut]

Execrable punning with middling execution (even for 1991)

[kalowski]

Shit sandwich.

Dude that's almost certainly computer generated. It's not really even that good. The album itself however is fucking great.

Ambivalent about the new 808 State artwork.

[jenna appleseed]

is that just a stock photo from a smoke alarms and extractor fans company's catalogue?

To: Graham Massey <808plate@808state.com>

Hey G, took this photo at Rusholme Job Centre, saw these fans on the ceiling and thought it looked like they spelled out 808 lol!

Not sure if you got that text about the Newbuild royalties but I could do with the cash so give us a ring next time you've got a minute.

There's footage of the photo shoot on one of her social media thingies.

Designed by ehquestionmark (aka Vasim Bhatti, who made his name as house designer for Warp's hip-hop offshoot Lex Records).

The thing is, the background is clearly a suspended ceiling tile, but the speakers and smoke alarm have got external wiring going to them, which wouldn't be necessary with a suspended ceiling.

I don't think those lines are supposed to be wiring conduit, because of the 'problem' of what's going on at the top of the image. I thought that was supposed to be the suspension grid, but that isn't it either.

And you wouldn't have more than one thing (fan, smoke detector, alarm sounder) per 600x600mm tile. It's all wrong.
