gah, there hasn't been a "noteworthy" album cover posted since the break. burnt friedman art is kind of cool in a "looks like a detail from a mati klarwein painting" sense, but other than that...

fu if you don't think God's Father cover is notable

the digitally dicked with version posted above, otoh, is hideous. and i dunno, i feel like i have at this point seen enough manga-style japanese art depicting cleverly butchered schoolgirls to last me a fucking lifetime.

interesting note: first pressing of 500 sold out. 250 more currently being pressed. pressing denoted by 1st in rougher matt sleeve, 2nd in glossy sleeve…

dang, i hope it actually comes wrapped in an ancient towelette like that, not just a picture
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Saturday, 24 March 2012 06:44 (fourteen years ago)
but a picture's cool too
au cover is also great. i get seriously into agate sometimes.

Wow is that bad!
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 24 March 2012 18:06 (fourteen years ago)
yeah, just do not understand. something good might have come of the basic image, i guess? if the background were a different color maybe, and if the text played up the garish WTF-ness. i mean, i'm reaching, perhaps because i like the gossip & beth, but i don't see how those elements could be combined in a less successful fashion.
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Saturday, 24 March 2012 18:29 (fourteen years ago)
do love sigh – in somniphobia. much better "painted cover" than either high on fire (their worst yet? at least tied w snakes) or day trader.
― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Saturday, 24 March 2012 18:32 (fourteen years ago)
Beth Ditto's hand is strangely fascinating to me but everything else on that cover is a complete howler

high on fire (their worst yet? at least tied w snakes)
Definitely their worst album cover, though their cover art been heading downhill since "Blessed Black Wings."

It's really ugly and a really old idea, but that sort of stuff still fascinates the shit out of my eyeballs.
― Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Monday, 26 March 2012 08:55 (fourteen years ago)

― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Monday, 26 March 2012 09:10 (fourteen years ago)
you do wonder wtf artists see when someone presents an idea like that ditto cover.
its like they just dont see it the same as the rest of us eg. the last lady gaga album cover ..
