They're gonna have you naked by the end of this thread.

I can't tell what category either of those albums are supposed to fall into. I mean, I don't see what's so great about the DMB cover; I don't see what's so bad about the JT cover.

Well I think what made me think of these two is the difference in quality between the music and the cover.

i.e. Justin cover: mediocre. Album: quite good

Dmb Cover: Quite good Album: Irredemably terrible.

Also, I had to post something :-).

Admittedly i was low on inspiration. But I still like the concept of the thread.

That American Music CLub one with the stamps on it...great cover, but such a bluddy boring record (unless I'm missing something).

Justin cover: awful Justin album: mediocre.
DMB cover: OK, but no more DMB album: Mediocre, but at least better than Timberlake...

So doesn't fit...

It just struck me how incredibly useless my thread is. It requires people to agree on TWO pieces of aesthetics.

Pet Sounds is right on though.
