Anything by Radiohead

I don't hate it, but

 

[Nobue]

I don’t hate this album I just thought all the songs sounded too similar. Black Parade was better.

I thought the other way around on those two albums.

My phone thought "lol" was supposed to be "loli" or "lolita." I'm spending too much time on anime boards.

Also, how the fuck does anyone not like King For A Day?

It's a very cool album but I think the cover is slightly cooler.

Other than "Down the Road", "Delta" and "Arcades" I gotta say I didn't really like this one. Call me a coomer but I thought this was a good job of making the cover risqué without being explicit.

I guess it was too much though because they axed it for the re-release.

I know it’s a simple design but I was really looking forward to this album when sifting though Neil Young’s back catalogue. Except for the title track (which I actually like) the rest are bad B-sides or songs that have better versions on later albums.

Lone Crow makes ok horrorcore ala Gravediggaz and classic Three Six Mafia, but damn man what an amazing album cover that is ruined by the horrible title art.

Its a pretty meh brutal dm album but I love this murky late 90s/early 2000s art.

I get your point, personally I’m not a black parade fan though. I think Bullets is my favourite of their albums but they’re all generally fairly alright.

 

[Dysnomia]

The album that made me give up on new Def Leppard material. It's an artsy cover and I like the colors together. But it's the only album I ever regret buying. WTF were they thinking?

 

[EveyDwyer]

Great album or at least it will be when it's finally released in its entirety but I remember back in the day a lot of people being disappointed because the cover along with the lead single The Everlasting Gaze lead people to believe this album would be heavier. I mean it is but not the part that was commercially released.

Ride - Tarantula had an amazing album cover, it could have easily been as iconic as Unknown Pleasures or Dark Side of the Moon if the music itself wasn't so-so.

Going Blank Again is a much better album

I honestly haven't been a fan of any of Blank Banshees latest stuff.

 

[Mr. Duck]

Neat cover art, bland album.

 

[Weeb Slinger]

The cover of Weezer's seventh album Raditude embodied a joie de vivre that was mostly absent from the music. This image looks like it might have been manipulated, however it originally appeared in an issue of National Geographic so I assume it's legit.
