What the fuck happened? Did they have a rushed deadline?

vaporwave Eyes Wide Shut is something i didn't know i wanted until now.

I think it's the baby standing on/hovering above the dog that makes the mash up so appealing.

hahah, from the wikipedia page "The computer-generated cover art was provided by David Patchett, who allegedly asked for his name to be removed from the album's credits after the band decided to use an unfinished version, which was received negatively."

Yeah, you can say that again... this is the one compilation I found without a single good cover, although others may be more comprehensive.

I think if the 'Paid In Full' in red wasn't pasted crooked on the cover (almost randomly it seems, as you can barely read it), then maybe I'd like it.. I just think its way too corny. Money and chains.. Very artistic.

As for the snoop album I understand what you mean about these 'grandiose' styled covers, but I've honestly always hated them. That one in particular.. The font they chose for the bottom strip is barely legible. I get that they want them to be flashy looking but this is just stupid looking if you ask me.

The only one I kind of understand is this one here..

i'd say my least favorite album cover is this

On Letting Go by Circa Survive

i think the worst thing to ever happen to visual art was whatever this like overly rounded painting style is. it makes me think of Tim Burton and steampunk and all sorts of just really blah things. most people here might think this shockingly graphic example i won't embed in my post here is bad, too, but i kinda like it as an extension of the music.[/url]

Hip Hop has had some pretty horrible album covers in its short existence.
Even some of the classics..

I'm sure there's worse ones than these here but this is what I came up with off the top of my head.

This is the front picture of an album from the late beautiful precious Billy Joe Royal that was released in 2001. I prefer a real shot of him instead of a drawing.

God bless you and his family always!!!

Holly

P.S. I don't know why, but the album was apparently released again later on with this shot as the front picture which is actually one of my favorites of him. I love when his guitar is in front of him. 😄 😄 😄
