album covers that say "[title] by [artist]" are generally pretty shitty though, yeah

Maybe there should be a general thread for naked people font but here is my favourite (obviously not very recent):

Good call Nick, was thinking the same thing about the cover connect. That Bongwater album is all time classic.

Great incorporation of type too, which always seem to be the hardest thing when designing album art.

being a pedant, but re: that dave dub cover, it looks like hand-lettered text, not type

nowhere near as good as the new one, though
It's hilarious isn't it? I like the build up of different visual planes too, and the wetness of the window and the greeness behind is just lovely.

Wait, why smart as hell? I like it and everything, but am I missing something? Conjures the last Mark McGuire LP for the background, anyway...

for one thing the fact that there are six planes of perception in play (eight if you count the water drops), for another the deliberately bad comedy popeye skeleton waiting in his car for whatever happens next (choose your own adventure). plus just looks great, half the battle.

On the one hand you do have the deliberate cheapness and the crassness of the skull, which is entirely in keeping with the 80's horror soundtrack vibe of the music and there's some sort of narrative being set up - the skull isn't facing itself, it's freaking out at something unknown located outside of the shot (in the car? outside the car?). The different reflections in the mirror are puzzling cos it looks like the windows are reflecting back into it. You've got that white van and you're wondering what's in the back, or who just got out. And where does that path outside lead? And then you have the beauty of the raindrops on the windscreen, that lovely greenness of the garden, the way the sky is actually quite bright, but the blue sun strip thing is modulating the light.

I'm pretending also that it's Mike Watt freaking out five miles down the road from the Double Nickels shot as Donald Pleasence steps out of the van ahead.
