What is the most deceiving album cover in your collection?

I hate when a band has an ugly album cover. I guess it's one of my pet peeves. I recently found my copy of Guano Apes album of 1999 “Proud like a god.” I fell in love with this band and album over night. I remember being at the music store searching for the album and when I found it the cover grossed me out so much. I guess it fits with the bands name because it’s a bat but the picture is kind of disturbing.



What examples do you have of great albums with terrible covers?

The Strokes' new album, First Impressions of Earth. It's just plain black, with a few stripes in the middle. blah. the artwork inside the CD slip thing is kinda disappointing too.

This cover is from Dead Kennedys' Frankenchrist LP. I personally don't see the point in it, nor how it is shocking or representative of the contents of the album. It's old men riding their grandsons' battery toy cars, woohoo =|.

The White Album (The Beatles)

For such a wickedly diverse album, the understatement of the the plain white (yeah, I know it wasn't the original concept, but it's what I own) is plain misleading. To go from Back to the U.S.S.R. to Glass Onion to Why Don't We Do it in the Road to Julia to Helter Skelter to Revolution #9 is insane. It's like, you have no warning.

Badaboom!

*downloads White Album to Ipod (once I figure out how to do so, if I can do so)

Hey
How about the new shins album
Albums called 'Wincing the night away'.
I dont know how it ties in or what it represents.

I'm totally with ya on the new Shins album cover. Great record though, I can see this staying one of my favorites of 2007. Another prime example is Mew's "And The Glass Handed Kites" album cover. What a great album this is. But whats going on with this cover?? haha
