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?

Paste put up their best list too, which is a really shitty selection:http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2012/12/the-50-best-album-covers-of-2012.html

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

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.

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"?

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:

Is that the new James Ferraro persona?
