i love this thread every year

alpine static, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 19:24 (six years ago) link

i wish we still had separate threads for good and bad covers because there are a lot of terrible covers on this thread but i suspect the people posting them think they are good. can you at least please say if you think the cover you're posting is good or bad so i can make fun of you?

na (NA), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 19:59 (six years ago) link

I think that's only fair.

some sad trombone Twilight Zone shit (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 20:11 (six years ago) link

- Juana cover reminds me of a Vermicious Knid
- mine was posted because it's good ftr

horny and dead sons of toil (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 21:08 (six years ago) link

I only post good covers. Just so you know.

ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 21:30 (six years ago) link

yeah if a bad cover is posted it gets called

niels, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 05:48 (six years ago) link

Posted the Yachty cover cause it felt noteworthy, still not sure how i feel about it tho. Popular rap being more open to diversity is obviously great but 'homosexuality is wack' Migos being on the record kinda makes the cover a good embodiment of a certain strand of social media wokeness.

devvvine, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 14:59 (six years ago) link

i only post covers i like

alpine static, Thursday, 25 May 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link

alpine static, Thursday, 25 May 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link

the Pharmakon cover is so cool, easily my favorite so far this year

flappy bird, Friday, 2 June 2017 18:20 (six years ago) link

Pharmakon showed up in my discover weekly spotify thing a couple of weeks ago. Was a bit of a shock to have that unexpectedly show up on my phone's lock screen.

Very good album, btw.

I think we live in the best era for metal cover art since the 1980s right now.

The Fortnightly Intruder (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 19 October 2017 05:38 (six years ago) link

Have never listened to Fever Ray but definitely will listen to this album because that cover is fucking sick.

Ok, got a little confused and thought that the surviving members of Blind Melon had a role in producing the Chief Keef record.
