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) |

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
