all I keep thinking re: Two Door Cinema Club is "Nightmare On Elm Street... with SEXY RESULTS"

DARING PRINCESS (DJP), Thursday, 6 September 2012 15:01 (eleven years ago) link

(notch one up from me in the terrible column for that btw)

i really like the ultrasound cover concept, though not sure how well it's ever going to work in practice

seems like there's a lot of "look what i drew mommy! can we put it on the refridgerator?" covers this year

Jandek at the Disco (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 18:28 (eleven years ago) link

That Cure one from a few years back still the best imo

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 18:54 (eleven years ago) link

There's some sort of discrepancy going on here....

longneck, Wednesday, 19 September 2012 09:49 (eleven years ago) link

what??? is that the rapper alley boy??

the best Laid jams (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 19 September 2012 15:58 (eleven years ago) link

Looks like a rejected Kansas album cover.

Is that some sort of funky platypus in the corner?

emil.y, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:43 (eleven years ago) link

the original obituary-logo meets zooropa-era-U2 animal collective was great, don't get the hate.

M Gira's choice of album covers has always been pretty atrocious and this new one is no exception.

Ducks don't have hands, that guy is platypus thru and thru.

mod night at the oasis (NickB), Friday, 21 September 2012 08:36 (eleven years ago) link

wish that alley boy was as good as the cover

centibutt hz (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 21 September 2012 08:52 (eleven years ago) link

So you wish it was a Genesis album? A Genesis album with a guest rapping funky platypus. That is what that record is.

Killing Joke - MMXII

Nickelback of folk (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Saturday, 22 September 2012 06:34 (eleven years ago) link

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 (eleven years ago) link

Yes the KJ one is preeeeeetty bad.

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

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

Book Cover Title

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

emil.y, Saturday, 22 September 2012 14:10 (eleven years ago) link

totally gonna get thoat goat on vinyl yesss

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

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 (eleven years ago) link

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 (eleven years ago) link

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

I like the Lavender Diamond one.

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

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

So that isn't a SNL parody?

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.
