Seriously though, Big Bear IS awful. But I never understood what was so horrible about the Main Source one.

MellySingsDoom 05.30.2009 09:47 AM

This one is pretty wretched:

SuperCreep 05.30.2009 11:33 AM

whoa, more people here who have actually LISTENED to Doin Thangs? I don't feel so crazy anymore.

I still want to find this album, though something tells me it sadly doesn't exist:

Macked 'em from a non-genre-centric blog ACTUALLY

It's fitting for such an overhyped, glammed up band.

i'm just gonna say every goregrind cover is worse than all of those

IMO D&tM that one's actually a pretty good cover given the genre. It suits it.

I do love the internet even more for threads like this

wellcharge 05.31.2009 06:03 PM

breaking atoms is one of the best album covers ever, it's a perfect fit for the production style and the low budgetness makes it look fun

al shabbray 05.31.2009 06:06 PM

holy fuck this thread is eye cancer

Not really, I mean, there's loads of black metal album covers that are better than this. I think that to make a decent BM album cover, you don't have a picture of the band members on it (unless it's something like Mayhem's Live in Leipzig - a cover where Dead is shrouded in darkness, only lit by a candle ie. something mysterious and not laughable because of the silly poses and facial expressions).

this is the hard part about even trying to discuss cover art. It's visual art. It's subjective. A lot of what is being posted here as "worst art" to me is so bad, that it's amazing, meaning it's great. So it's the best. Not the worst. A lot of them I'd be proud to have in my collection. I'd display that shit. Even Big Bear. Because I mean. C'mon. Look at that shit!

It's the old classic feeling of so bad it's good.

Seriously I think some are much greater then the covers of my favorite records

you need to ask yourself what's the prespective of those cover art are called "worst cover art ever", i understand what you saying, but like everthing there are kind of "lobbys" for something, and most of them are just "capitalist lobbys" who wants to control the tendency of art...why i cannot say this is one of the worst cover art ever????:

It's pretty ugly(same with the cover of bad moon rising and dirty). But yeah, it remains 'your favorite music' and everything is nearly holy to most people around here on that record and so is the cover. I see it so.

noisereductions 06.01.2009 08:54 AM

Bad Moon Rising's cover is ugly? What eyes are you using to look at it? That's one of their best covers!
