Mine ended up actually being good, how about yours?

...

Anyone else only listen to albums the know nothing about because of the cover?

it's colorful

...

most of them

This so fucking much

Also this

Also this

awesome cover but i didn't like that album
dubs

this album

...

...

Never even remotely heard of Nick Drake before this so based on the cover my expectations were far different

It ended up being even better

...

glad i did

...

glad i did

cool title too

really good one

Wouldn't have known about this awesome post-punk band if it wasn't for an ex buying this for the cover

I was shocked at what I heard when I got this album

10/10

kinda the opposite, but i didn't listen to ys for a while because the cover made me think it was metal

...

...

Same. I saw the cover and without looking up the genre or anything I put it on expecting some cool weird proggy stuff but instead got this amazing folk album.

All of them

...

This but the album was lame
Great covers for great albums

Listened to this because who wouldn't want to listen to an album called Electric Sandwich by a band called Electric Sandwich with an electric sandwich on the cover.

It was disappointing jazzy prog rock. I don't really like prog to begin with but I can recognize that this is only a decent offering at best.

probably one of the worst album covers ever
bad cover
bad cover

...

Nice contribution bud

I needed to know what this sounded like

Best answer, okay album

...

this album kicks ass too

Is that Robert Smith

Verdict?

...

Its someone the musician saw at a club and took their picture because he thought they were striking. Probably a drag queen.

I personally love it. It's darker synthpop of you're into that sort of thing

...

Great album but I don't think I could listen to it again

...

still one of da best designs

...

Does anyone have a wallpaper version of this? I seriously need it. Either for phone or desktop.

Not yet, but still want to.

Definitely this.

Cool cover, but not enough to solely listen to it for it.

Everything else is meh

...

...

I've always hated that cover

Good cover and pretty decent album

I fucking hate that cover and that album is as boring as watching paint dry which is why NPR called it one of the most important albums of all time I guess.

for months i couldnt figure out the name and then i finally did and was super hyped but then it was mediocre

I thought it was going to be super edgy but it was new wave music about comic book girls

Me too

Literally any vaporwave or future funk album

and hey it was pretty good

Severely disappointed.

Even more disappointed, considering it's "post-punk."
