hope that title is explanatory enough [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Z8kAS.jpg[/IMG] Some of the best rapping and lyrics and beats I've heard but damn that is a ridiculous cover. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/GBoET.jpg[/IMG] Very catchy and emotive pop but uyghhhhhghjf album cover.
[IMG]http://cdn.stereogum.com/img/pe-yeasayer-odd_blood.jpg[/IMG] So damn ugly.
[img]http://cdn.stereogum.com/files/2011/02/Paul-Simon-So-Beautiful-Or-So-What.jpg[/img] Dumbest design for some of his best music in a while.
[img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/ArthurBrownTheCrazyWorldofArthurBrown.jpg[/img] Fucking great album. But..why??
[img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41X7W8HG8EL._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/img] Up there with the greats, but a poor cover. [editline]7th July 2011[/editline] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/Elton_John_-_Rock_of_the_Westies.jpg[/img] 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.
[QUOTE=mynames2long;30970594]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?[/QUOTE] 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.
[QUOTE=Carling;30970113][IMG]http://cdn.stereogum.com/img/pe-yeasayer-odd_blood.jpg[/IMG] So damn ugly.[/QUOTE] 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.

Catch A Fire doesn't have the colours pink or orange. :/

Expresses perfectly how fucking insane and awesome the album is. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/58/Mogwairockaction.jpg[/img] 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. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/46/TomWaitsRainDogs.jpg[/img] Eh, not much to say about this one. I just don't think it captures the feel of the album very well. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0a/V_Is_For_Vagina_Cover.jpg[/img] [i]why[/i]
I like Rain Dogs, shows he loves his mum, that's all :-)

[QUOTE=AK'z;30970896]I like Rain Dogs, shows he loves his mum, that's all :-)[/QUOTE] That's actually not Tom Waits on the cover. I think he saw the photo in a bar.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;30970932]That's actually not Tom Waits on the cover. I think he saw the photo in a bar.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I dunno why I said "he". Looks nothing like Waits.
[QUOTE=AK'z;30971002]Yeah, I dunno why I said "he". Looks nothing like Waits.[/QUOTE] He sorta does.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;30973101]Over in LMAO pics we were having a conversation about how black and white pictures of deck chairs are so ~~artistic~~[/QUOTE] Gets even better if you add a gradient and you post it on tumblr.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;30973101]Over in LMAO pics we were having a conversation about how black and white pictures of deck chairs are so ~~artistic~~[/QUOTE] The inverted one was the best. so artistic~
[QUOTE=Yur|ko;30973302]The inverted one was the best. so artistic~[/QUOTE] Filters, gradient and inversion make the most artistic pictures.
[QUOTE=OctopusGuy;30970843]I liked that cover! Expresses perfectly how fucking insane and awesome the album is. [/QUOTE] He could've done it without the paint and glasses IMO.
