it could do without the black and gold block at the center top, but otherwise i think it's a good fit.

Fuck I hate this cover

Easily the worst album cover I’ve ever seen

It looks like something that would be a one thread thing only.

It's a well known one but dear god it never gets old

I think a black and white cover would've looked much better, something like pic related. The cover art used has a very early 2000s edgy feel, especially with all the splatter around the band name and album title.

Fuck this would ne so much better. It would actually help the aesthetic of music as well imo

That albums has some good songs on it so it sucks that the cover looks like The Sims.

wait is there chick on the left or am i missing

IIRC the cover was just the first draft and the artist planned on drawing the cover based on the 3D model (a relativly common thing) and the band though it ok like that so they just used it

fck u

i agree, ass is better

ass is worse cover desu

yes

wasted trips and dubs

This is the reason they didn't.

yeah I don't like the style but the portrait itself is very catching. even if they are edgy I like their covers just because it's cool that it's a band member painting them.

I don't know about this one.. this looks so uninspired

Attached: 2312511231.jpg (1200x1200, 118K)

Why?

That album cover is kino, dummy

kys my dudes

anybody else just find some random ass image that you think is fitting, trim it into a square and use it as album art when the original is garbage?

I will defend the idea that this is a shit cover till I die.

That's honestly on "so bad it's good" territory.

I like the main picture but the zebra print is kinda tacky and the "freddie gibbs and madlib" label looks out of place

none of these are ugly??

beat pic related

This one is great, you just don't get the aesthetic

What's wrong with this cover? Do you even know what it is?

this contains EASILY
Bjork's only exceptional song

God that's terrible

Isn't this appropriate for disposalable internet music? It's like a deconstruction of his other album

Literally a 10/10 cover. Iconic.

Kill your selves my dudes

This looks decent

the zebra makes sense because of what he is wearing, but the title does look out of place

looks like he's trying to rip off Low's cover

How? I don't understand.

It's called a "profile" and Bowie didn't invent taking pictures of someones face sideways.

So the exact same jacket was just a coincidence?

Yea this is pretty bad lol

>Black and white face = rip off
How can you be this much of a retard?

>somehow captures MC ride and a young Brian Wilson together for an album cover

>terrible album cover

come on now

Estradasphere has the worst album art of all time. It's honestly sad.

the label fucks up the entire thing.

call me a sjw but how did she get away with this?

how.
how.

it's an acronym for RAT dude...

but hes a mou5e

clearly inspired by this

Attached: 123.jpg (953x953, 187K)

it was the 90s

its because the album samples heavily from old funk and disco of the blacksploitation era. The zebra print is a visual homage to the fashion (especially pimp characters) of said films

pimp *imagery

Yeah but it’s not terrible whatsoever. You should’ve thought about using an actual album cover that was “terrible”. Trust me there’s plenty out there.

literally disgusting

As far as 90s graphic design goes, this is actually pretty good looking.

>This record pops up on "Worst Covers" lists often enough that it's garnered serious collector's value. A cover this funny can only be a massive disappointment upon listening. The LP sleeve should just hold a smaller version of the cover that can be removed and passed around for laughs.

Pitchfork's "Worst Record Covers of All Time" is still the only good thing the website's put out.

I know people hate this cover because it looks dated and edgy but the reason it looks dated is because it was such an influential cover for metalcore

Literally one of the GOAT hip hop album covers

Wtf is so good about it? It's literally just a midget with a busted face and the shitty font makes it even worse. Is there a context I'm missing?

Attached: DU5NShfXkAAgDAq.jpg (851x845, 86K)

Bushwick Bill (the midget, a member of the Geto Boys) got shot in the face while his girlfriend was trying to remove a gun from his hands during a PCP and alcohol fueled suicide attempt. The photo was taken as the other two members of the group wheeled him down a hospital corridor. Given that the lead single is an all time classic hip hop track about suffering from mental illness (Mind's Playing Tricks on Me) and the rest of the album is largely about the violence and psychological pain of daily life in the ghettos of Houston, the cover fits perfectly. The way it plays off of the title of the album is beautiful as well. I mean here he is, a poor black midget, shot in the face, drunk, high on PCP and suicidal but he's still making deals on his phone with his crew right beside him looking determined as fuck because they can't be stopped, even by this.

Well fuck me that's dope cover....
