KMFDM's Nihil cover has always pissed me off because it doesn't have the same art style as the rest.

Here's a typical KMFDM cover.

He was their manager or something I think, that's the reason why.

god DAMN.
Hey Homogenic has a cool cover what are you talking about.
[QUOTE=OctopusGuy;30986189]I'm not sure what Maynard's thinking when he picks these album covers.
really now[/QUOTE]
Oh, god, I know. I Googled alternate covers for 'V Is For Vagina', just because I couldn't stand looking at it in my music library.

...and I haven't put 'C Is For blah blah blah' in my library because I haven't found a cover for it. Eugh.

I can't vouch for "C is for..." because I haven't heard it, but it's a shame for "V is for Vagina" considering the songs are pretty damn good. The juvenile album title just seems to bring it down a level.
Out of my whole music library I only have one album cover that I slightly dislike.

Still pretty rad now that I take a good look at it.

yea, but still, don't like seeing it :l

anyways this one is so unpleasant on the eyes, but being digital makes it worse.

I think it's pretty cool, but it's nothing compared to Catch 33 in terms of coolness.
There is one Meshuggah album that I think has abysmal art, in my opinion.

Awesome album, however.

I concur. I didn't want to listen to the album for forever because of that title.
For my own contribution -
I don't think Ace of Base consist of musical geniuses, or anything, but their album covers are horrific, even taking into account the early 90s era:

Also, Sweethead's 'The Great Disrupter' EP cover. It's not that bad, but considering it came out in 2009...
[img]http://www.antiquiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/great-disruptors.jpg[/img]
Aside from the fact that the picture makes the usually-attractive vocalist look like a gnome, they could have gotten someone older than 7 to play around with it on Photoshop.

No wait I lied. I don't like this album art at all.

Not actually a bad album cover, but they really could have done without that border.

I love the album but the cover is terrifying. Usually I love Radiohead's album art.

I find it difficult to be terrified by al album cover, to be honest

I love the album but I hate this kind of portrait shit

Fuckin love this album but I don't even understand what the cover is supposed to be. It just looks like a skull photographed in a pile of metal scrap.

It's a goat's skull for obvious reasons.
