My two front runners for favorite album of 2009 appear here, yeesh.

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion

Trippy right? Not so much on the physical copy where no matter how long you stare at it, it won't move. Yeah, I know, try drugs. What I find most funny about this situation is it is incidentally a social commentary for where music industry is right now... or not.

Mastodon - Crack the Skye [Deluxe Edition]

That pop up book thing is just not as cool as the kids books you're accustomed to.

Perhaps the biggest fail though goes to Tool's 10,000 Days package which manage to combine the worst elements of the aforementioned albums and leave you slightly dizzy from looking through it's 3-D glasses.

I can't think of any recent ones. The Animal Collective thing frustrated me a little bit though.

I don't care if it isn't from 09 and doesn't try to trip you out. It's a HUGE FAIL

this album cover is so lame. I think there is a sticker on the front saying something like "Your favorite bad boys are back, and this time to stay" or something along those lines.

I thought that Mastodon package looked cool, but just from looking at it.
