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.

A Pick Up Artist's Guide to Negative Approach (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 22 September 2012 06:44 (thirteen years ago)

Yes the KJ one is preeeeeetty bad.

Nickelback of folk (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Saturday, 22 September 2012 07:25 (thirteen years ago)

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

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

totally gonna get thoat goat on vinyl yesss

wood grain, chestnut / cody, CHESNUTT (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 22 September 2012 14:26 (thirteen years ago)

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

If Assholes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport, Saturday, 22 September 2012 15:09 (thirteen years ago)

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.

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 22 September 2012 19:36 (thirteen years ago)

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

I like the Lavender Diamond one.

tuomas without a nose ring (The Reverend), Saturday, 22 September 2012 20:49 (thirteen years ago)

I can never fault fans of Herbert Chapman, the Goat is nice.

Lavender Diamond! I wondered whatever became of them...

Love that Lamps one.

Walter Galt, Monday, 15 October 2012 14:34 (thirteen years ago)

This is pretty depressing:

Gelados n cream (longneck), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 11:50 (thirteen years ago)

So that isn't a SNL parody?

dronestreet, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 14:22 (thirteen years ago)

Unfortunately not. The kid is down with French Montana from what I'm told.

I was hoping one of you guys would post this. I'm going against my usual biases and saying this one would definitely be better WITHOUT the type.

That's actually not bad in a "found it at Goodwill for $1.00" kind of way.

That Keyshia Cole cover is a contender for worst of the year, fo sho.

oooh, i like that

dexpresso (Z S), Sunday, 9 December 2012 00:23 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah that's cool. They used all of the colored markers.

That Gengras thing looks like a New Age album that would turn out to be really disappointing in the end.

endless budgie (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 9 December 2012 07:12 (thirteen years ago)

The Pitchfork best and worst lists are up. Honestly, the worst list is pretty mild compared to some of the stuff I've actually seen, and at least half of the best list could've just as easily been placed in the worst list.

Did they not peep our thread this year?

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 12 December 2012 17:19 (thirteen years ago)

Boner alert on the list of worst covers btw
