That's nothing fancy at all, but it's just perfect.

Derartu Cthulhu (NickB), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:25 (fourteen years ago)

yes, it's really nice

Trip Maker, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:27 (fourteen years ago)

bugs me that giffoni isn't on the same line as the rest of the text.

mizzell, Wednesday, 1 February 2012 16:29 (fourteen years ago)

Who wants to see the great Pavarotti sit on a pie? (jer.fairall), Friday, 3 February 2012 01:05 (fourteen years ago)

has he dropped the 'big'?

Aesop Rizzle (a hoy hoy), Friday, 3 February 2012 06:18 (fourteen years ago)

Return of 4Eva just had KRIT on the front too so i don't think so

Number None, Friday, 3 February 2012 11:18 (fourteen years ago)

Johnny Fever, Friday, 3 February 2012 16:25 (fourteen years ago)

Chances of that cover being better than the music within? Pretty solid. I like the cover though.

i really like this cover

[the album also features diane birch on additional vocals]

mark e, Friday, 3 February 2012 16:38 (fourteen years ago)

It'd be better without the "Phenomenal Handclap Band" text.

(I know next to nothing about the band, the name just makes me irrationally angry)

Who wants to see the great Pavarotti sit on a pie? (jer.fairall), Friday, 3 February 2012 17:08 (fourteen years ago)

you see i was thinking it would be better without the 'form & control' text !

and like you i knew nothing re the band until it dropped through the letter box today

mark e, Friday, 3 February 2012 17:14 (fourteen years ago)

Paste put up their best list too, which is a really shitty selection:

Albert Crampus (NickB), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 17:28 (thirteen years ago)

Pretty shocked that a Paste list would have a shitty selection of anything.

HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 12 December 2012 18:35 (thirteen years ago)

re: Pitchfork best/worst album covers

I was glad to see the Lone album in the best of list because I think that's a really nice cover, but yeah, otherwise most of the best ones seemed like just the most popular Pitchfork albums as opposed to ones that had really nice design.

Enjoyed seeing the sad goths on the worst of list.

Moodles, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 22:08 (thirteen years ago)

haha remember when pfork posted the shop I did of Chris Brown's Graffiti with the blue bowtie from the Larry King interview in their "Worst Album Covers"?

The Reverend, Thursday, 13 December 2012 05:07 (thirteen years ago)

Jesus, they really could have some kind of warning about the boner cover. It just froze on it while the page was loading.

This cover is genuinely baffling to me - I honestly can't even imagine what it's trying to suggest:

Walter Galt, Thursday, 13 December 2012 10:41 (thirteen years ago)

Is that the new James Ferraro persona?

Number None, Thursday, 13 December 2012 11:27 (thirteen years ago)

Did you mean: 2k Hustle?

LOL

besides Sunny Real Estate (dog latin), Thursday, 13 December 2012 11:37 (thirteen years ago)

Not sure whether this is amazing or terrible:

What has Wayne Hussey done to his hair?

Again I'm torn
