Amazing album.

[Kid B]

Agreed, but the cover art is just embarrassing lol.

[lenard27]

Any cover art with the band on the front of it. With the exception of the Weezer albums.
They're so simple, it just works.

[Kid B]

Weezer is exempt from all bad artwork allegations lol.

Haha I actually like that.

Me too.

[Machu505]

I like the cover for De-Loused. :shrug:

[halifaxonfire]

can't seem to get a picture to work, but the cover art for That's What She Said by The Friday Night Boys is terrible.

Was that the one they went with, or the one they revealed to much hatred and subsequently changed?
Either way, terrible. Almost as bad as DragonForce's latest.

haha that's the original one I think.

yeah Ultra Beatdown has the shittiest art/music.

[White Noise]

I'm not a big fan of any album with the band members actually on the cover.

[funkel]

DragonForce was cool for like 5 minutes. "HOLY SHIT THEY PLAY SO FAST!...Oh. They just do the same thing. Over and over again. For 4 albums. Fuck that."
Still fun to play on Guitar Hero.

I love the Abby Road art, but I hate the others.

My love for De-Loused doesn't allow me to see the album art as bad at all.

I like that album cover. The guy on the right is wearing slippers, which amuses me.

[BSS182]

I think the new Fall Out Boy album art is pretty ridiculous, but everyone here probably loves it and thinks it's amazing.

[SanePsychotic]

No, not everyone loves it. Actually I haven't seen one person say that they love it, just that it's a cool picture but not meant for FOB coverart.

HAHA I NEVER EVEN NOTICED THAT.

I'm no true Brand New fan :-(

I love that artwork though, how it portrays innocence and like, yeah.

It's got a meaning at least, maybe quite a few, how can you hate it?

[BSS182]

I wasn't freaking out, I was just making a statement.

Haha thanks.

I'm too tired to go into detail, leave off!

yeah they're my fav band, and its a great album, but that photo(while cool) was not a good choice for the cover, it coulda gone in the liner notes or in the case/back, but not the front cover. JEW always has had great cover art(even tho CTL took me a min to get used to), but all their covers have artwork/photography that grabs attention, this i felt didnt do them justice.

I've only seen that a couple of times, and looking at it again I really like it, simple but nice, and there are so many stories that could come out of that picture.

Agreed. It looks like Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar (http://www.virginmedia.com/images/the-very-hungry-caterpillar400x300.jpg) and Pink Floyd's The Wall had babies.

[funkel]

The cover for Futures is one of my all-time favorites.

[SamEyes]

Oh another fairly shite one is Crisis by Alexisonfire.

I couldn't stand looking at it when it first came out.

[absolutecrunk]

How has no one posted this garbage fest?

I'm one of the few who liked Singularity's cover. No idea why, but I like it.

[SamEyes]

I really bloody like that.

Simple, and messy.

I just like it, not seen that before.

[SamEyes]

Agreed. It looks like Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar (http://www.virginmedia.com/images/the-very-hungry-caterpillar400x300.jpg) and Pink Floyd's The Wall had babies.

Haha win.

Either way I doubt anyone who didn't know who Underoath were would expect to hear that album from seeing that cover, doesn't seem like a "heavy band" sort of cover.

[Machu505]

Singularity's cover was pretty fucking shitty.

[absolutecrunk]

Singularity's cover was pretty fucking shitty.
Thank you.

The rest of you are ridiculous.

[Molly0218]

I don't like albums that have the band/artist.

[CellarGhosts]

The cover for Futures is one of my all-time favorites.
Same here.

The worst was one they posted that article on the front page about the "artist" who designed it and he likes HORRRRRIBLE music and thought that his "art" was all symbolic and all that garbage.

Please tell me that is not genuine.

If it is, I HATE it.

"Ooo we're so daring we're not gonna have cover art, look how modern and risqué we are" FUCK OFF.

[Hamlet]

Yeah. It's just fucking lazy. At least System of a Down had a point with Steal This Album.

Wikipedia:

"The album's cover artwork has received some mixed publicity for being different. The band's frontman, Richard Archer, stated the band wanted "to break the rules".[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_the_West_%28alb um%29#cite_note-6) and it was labelled as "The white album of the digital culture" by Peter Saville."

Oh fuck that, non-chart bands have been pulling stuff like this for ages now,

It's not different, it's just the first semi-popular band to do something like it.

That's like some celebrity saying "lol" and the press going made because they invented a new thing, when they haven't, they just brought it more into the public eye.

[funkel]

http://www.kostrakosia.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/hard-fi_once_upon_cover.jpg
I actually like that.

[SamEyes]

I actually like that.

I just hate how it's like,

In case you hadn't noticed, we didn't do cover art, look at us break the rules, we're so badass.

[jster2000]

i actually really like the de-loused album art
even though at twelve at night when its on your cofee table it is scary

i was gonna the ramones one with that dinosaurs
but the simple plan one
and the hard-fi one
