WORST Album Cover Artwork

Echolyn's As The World. The pile of shrunken heads is kinda gross, and does nothing to make me think of the music on this great album.

Re: WORST Album Cover Artwork

Zappa's Orchestral Favorites or Studio Tan have that awful drawing...but I think that was intentional as they were record company contractuals.

If you go for ugliness, try Black Sabbath's "Born Again" (the one with Gillian). That "thing" on the cover is hideous.

Just read on that link that Bev Bevan went on that tour....Jim's favorite drummer!

Re: WORST Album Cover Artwork

U.K. Concert Classics Vol.4

The cover looks like it was done in five minutes using Microsoft Paint.
It also features a nice little picture of sweaty Bruford.
The print quality is also a major let down. The resolution is really low...I am not even sure whether my copy is a pirate or not...

Forget all the shrunken heads and badly-painted evil babies, nothing makes me want to puke so much as the front cover of Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Love Beach...

Re: WORST Album Cover Artwork

Ambeon's Fate of a Dreamer. No one should be putting 14 year old girls on their album covers. It makes me feel all pedophile-ish. And put on top of that that she sounds like a hot adult female, well...

They never really have spent a lot of time/money on their covers, except for Brain Salad Surgery.

Re: WORST Album Cover Artwork

I think the worst album cover for me would have to be the original cover of Deep Purples first album "Deep Purple" It had a reproduction of Dante's Hell on the front cover. Although I am still somewhat disturbed by the cover I still listen to that album and consider it one of Deep Purples best,

IMHO anyway
