I like how passively bummed dude is about the eyeball spooning. Like, "Fuck, he's gonna spoon my eye. Again. Sigh."
OTM! When I found that cover, I thought that "The Sad" would have been a much better fit than "The Mad"

I found this cassette tape in my bosses office today. Somewhere this guy is a star and rightfully so
Why were you snooping around your bosses office? Does he know you were in there?
Just wondering.

Just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's not true.

First saw this one on an ILM thread and it still startles me - I've never seen such a mix of colours on any other album, ever. It reminds me of something a gifted 11-year old might create with water paints in 6th grade art class. (That's a compliment.)

I've been thinking a "best Fall cover art" poll is in order. Or "worst Fall cover art." Its so hard to decide which is which.

Anyways, I've posted this before, but it bears repeating.

It's so easy to be sarcastic. Do people ever post great album covers in "Worse Album Covers Ever" threads?

I didn't know The Beatles had an album called "084994"... Was it their industrial record?
― Tuomas, Friday, 22 August 2008 11:48 (seventeen years ago)
Or is "084994" nerd writing for "Obama"?

yes

George looks like he's actually eaten a baby.
That album was to be subtitled "how to end your career in America before it's really started"

Um. Today is my last day so I was training my replacement yesterday. She was sitting at my desk and he was out so I was at his. The tape was sitting right next to the keyboard. No snooping involved.
― ENBB, Friday, 22 August 2008 16:37 (seventeen years ago)
Right. It's from Music for the Jilted Generation
― Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 22 August 2008 16:42 (seventeen years ago)
That's gotta rate among the greatest inside sleeves ever. And I think the actual cover for MftJG is pretty great too.
― Tuomas, Friday, 22 August 2008 19:15 (seventeen years ago)
The only thing I never understood about that pic is, why does that dude look like some sort of a metalhead and not a raver?
― Tuomas, Friday, 22 August 2008 19:16 (seventeen years ago)
Someone already posted Nigtclubbing which is awesome too, but this is my favourite Grace Jones cover:

yeah, but that album is only okay

Lotta great Grace Jones art out there:

― contenderizer, Friday, 22 August 2008 19:33 (seventeen years ago)
the exceptions to the great Grace Jones covers are far fewer than the instances
― I know, right?, Friday, 22 August 2008 19:36 (seventeen years ago)
far far fewer
As long as the woman herself actually appears on the cover...
― Myonga Vön Bontee, Friday, 22 August 2008 19:47 (seventeen years ago)
They ain't all great, but I'll defend this one:
