Pretty sure that's been posted before, but its awfulness remains undiminished.

M Gira's choice of album covers has always been pretty atrocious and this new one is no exception.

u mad doggie

hahaha

is that two door cinema club supposed to be ironically kitschy? sorry, i don't know the band, and it's hard to understand what they're going for without first knowing how hipster of a band we're dealing with.

i think the light emanating from just beyond her kooch is all we need to make an informed decision here.

fake hipster i think

That is awesome. I do hate how the words go between the legs tho.

all I keep thinking re: Two Door Cinema Club is "Nightmare On Elm Street... with SEXY RESULTS"

(notch one up from me in the terrible column for that btw)

i really like the ultrasound cover concept, though not sure how well it's ever going to work in practice

seems like there's a lot of "look what i drew mommy! can we put it on the refridgerator?" covers this year

That Cure one from a few years back still the best imo

its the most wonderful time of the year (for album art)

Like the 3D Shreddie on The Bad Plus cover

There's some sort of discrepancy going on here....

what??? is that the rapper alley boy??

Looks like a rejected Kansas album cover.

Is that some sort of funky platypus in the corner?

the original obituary-logo meets zooropa-era-U2 animal collective was great, don't get the hate.

M Gira's choice of album covers has always been pretty atrocious and this new one is no exception.

When did she become Lita Ford?

Ducks don't have hands, that guy is platypus thru and thru.

wish that alley boy was as good as the cover

So you wish it was a Genesis album? A Genesis album with a guest rapping funky platypus. That is what that record is.

I've gotten used to the Goat one, it's alright. I wish they had put the song titles somewhere other than the easily damaged slipcase. The vinyl looks like it's die cut even more?

Killing Joke cover is not great.

Yes the KJ one is preeeeeetty bad.

Killing Joke one is straight out of that Book Cover, Author Name ebook thread surely

Book Cover Title

I like the Goat! Bit garish but ultimately a well-done design.

totally gonna get thoat goat on vinyl yesss

Last four are all terrible. I sorta like the Kesha one but then again Kesha rowr

Kesha one kinda cool, but I wonder if that's a low quality image or something, cos something looks kinda off about it. Like it's a good composition but the way the image was exported is all cruddy and muddy.

Also it looks like she wishes she was in the Flaming Lips.
