Some of the best rapping and lyrics and beats I've heard but damn that is a ridiculous cover.

Very catchy and emotive pop but uyghhhhhghjf album cover.

Dumbest design for some of his best music in a while.

Up there with the greats, but a poor cover.

No.
[QUOTE=AK'z;30970551]Wow, Catch A Fire was a great cover. Why?[/QUOTE]
Um
It's just a bad picture of Bob smoking a joint and some lettering in colours that don't complement the picture at all
What's so great about it?
No picture of Marley is a bad one, and "bad lettering" is a bit picky to make it bad overall.

The original vinyl album art is great cuz it's like a match and and the records are fire and it's like a record match or something.

Fun fact: This got voted 2010's ugliest album cover.
Reason it's great, is it's iconic.
[QUOTE=AK'z;30970718]No picture of Marley is a bad one, and "bad lettering" is a bit picky to make it bad overall.[/QUOTE]
Yes, that one is. And the lettering makes it even worse for me. The orange and pink in the picture really clashes with the red in the lettering.

I think that's kind of so-ugly-it's-artistic
Catch A Fire doesn't have the colours pink or orange. :/

I liked that cover! Expresses perfectly how fucking insane and awesome the album is.

A good example of an album with a terrible cover which hides an awesome album. I honestly thought it was going to be a terrible album.

Eh, not much to say about this one. I just don't think it captures the feel of the album very well.

I like Rain Dogs, shows he loves his mum, that's all :-)

Aw bless, didn't know that was his mother.

That's actually not Tom Waits on the cover. I think he saw the photo in a bar.

Yeah, I dunno why I said "he". Looks nothing like Waits.

It was a pretty album art until you looked at the sleve art... photographs of deckchairs. :v:

Over in LMAO pics we were having a conversation about how black and white pictures of deck chairs are so ~~artistic~~

Gets even better if you add a gradient and you post it on tumblr.

The inverted one was the best.

Filters, gradient and inversion make the most artistic pictures.

He could've done it without the paint and glasses IMO.
