Those Killdozer albums were also often misleadingly filed under 'music' too.

Alex, I'd forgotten that TG record. I think the fact that they're stood atop the cliffs at Beachy Head (possibly the UK's best loved suicide spot) hints that perhaps all is not well within!

How is the Daisies cover art misleading? Slightly sinister, yet on the whole goodhearted music harking back to more innocent times.

maybe the other 90° are on the back?

Album covers that give the buyer a completely wrong idea about basic geometry.

when it comes to reasons for bumping a 7 year old thread that was one of the best

A lot of these are just ironic, not really misleading. E.g. I don't think anyone expects that Butthole Surfers record to be circusy kids music due to the band name and album title

well i was looking for an album cover with a giant package on it for that other thread, and i had a hunch the gerardo discography would be a good place to start. turns out not only is he crotch-shy, but he sucks at math too.

that Gerardo cover reminds me of the Animorphs book covers, except he can only turn into a version of himself that faces 90º to the left
