ITT: Great albums, horrendous covers

...

...

Probably half the reason it was seen as mediocre desu

I like that cover yo it's cute

can't even find it in a good resolution

...

This or Master of Reality.

Both are pretty good, unless you are including that deluxe edition thing

this is the worst

...

Fuck
You

What's not to like?

fuck you that cover is great

It's funny to see someone on a music board criticize design, when 100% of you spend all day listening to vapid compositions in your rooms for their "production", "sound", "innovation" and "style" (of which these albums have no value whatsoever in those ground since those musicians are incapable of decent artistry by themselves).
Sick burn, bro. Call me when you drop golden sections and learn what "cover design" or artwork mean. Fuckhead.

I love this album and the cover is probably their best album cover of their discography. "Guns" is a better choice for good album/stupid cover.

wat?

...

>smug enima face
Opinion discarded. Kill yourself or die.

that ain't even smug

Get rid of the "DELUXE" banner and you get a colorfull and inspired expression of the paranoia, it matchs perfectly with album

MoR cover is just "meh"

i like it too, i think it fits the album.

wow

the one reason it's hard to rec this to my friends

i liked the first one a lot but people say the second one is not good

is it worth a listen?

...

Probably the best band out there that couldn't make a good album cover (besides Frengers).

It's a big part of its charm, though.

...

literally the definition of great album/horrible cover

I can't believe in one paragraph you've made yourself sound even more pretentious and a whiny faggot than the rest of Sup Forums. good job fuckface

I like it, but it's probably their worse.

...

I think it's very fitting for the album.

looks like it should have a rapper with purple drank on it

...

definitely the worst of their albums covers so far, but all the ones they're posting on DAS the past couple weeks look so much better

Pretty good cover, the physical CD is meta as fuck.

It was the 60s, m8, there were not standards yet.

What's wrong with it? Same shit as their self-titled.

Original Paranoid with the demon is better, why did they even put the guy with a helmet and toy sword on the cover? I have to say it's more iconic this way, a lot more eye catching.

This is legit awful, I don't get it.. They're doing the Queen thing but with big eyes? What's the connection?

Mostly shit because child porn and the girl demanding to be blacked out.

Cheesy as fuck, but with the times.

That sweet spot where computer graphics got accessible to normal people, but before they learned what looked cheap as fuck because anyone can do it in five minutes.

It's stupid.

Apart from having the band members on the cover, it's not too bad.

Fits the album perfectly, though.

Worst fucking cover ever, and the single reason why I stayed away from that album for years.

All Kanye cares about are memes, so of course he would make his album cover in that vain.

Radiohead have a long history of great artwork but bland cover. I'm mostly bummed out by not getting the classic Donwood acrylics.

OP said great albums

...

"BESTEST" album cover forever.

is this a new copypasta

Also there's this. While not as good, it still had a lot of decent songs, squandered by the fact that this is its cover, and the album title "+-" is terrible for search engines.

I'm okay with that cover on CD, but they should've made an alternate vinyl one.

>Radiohead have a long history of great artwork but bland cover
This. Donwood is supremely talented but for some reason when it comes down to the cover they make the wrong calls.
