I couldn't care less about the new Who album, but can you believe this sleeve design?

OMG WE MUST CATCH UP WITH TEH MODERN TIMES WAHT IS THIS 'PHOTOSHOP' TEH KIDDS SPEAK OF???

I mean, that aside, it's quite eye-catching. It has something of the 'mid-90's games console' about it. Suddenly I have a hankering for old-skool Starwing.

WORST album Cover EVER!!!

Album Covers that beg the Question: What the Hell were You THINKING?

I actually kinda like that Who cover, though the mirroring of the band name is really unnecessary. But certainly there are a thousand times worse covers on those previous threads.

I think we've done threads on this topic before.

I almost like that Who cover though - it's uberproggy.

Ha, Tuomas beat me to both of those statements.

WHOHW?

Isn't there like a Rah Brahs album with that name?

Shockah: Mick Jagger has been blind for 20 years.

pity it won't sound the same

Yeah, that is pretty nasty. There are a million 90's era albums that look infinitely worse however, apparently for a stretch of time nobody knew how to handle a fucking font. Pet peeve.

Photoshop makes everyone an artist, for better or worse. Ok, worse.

Some Kompakt and Bpitch albums look a lot worse than that Who album cover.

true donut, that Who cover is kinda crazily good apart from the reflected THEWHO at the top right - that bit's terrible.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 20 September 2006 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

actually the text placement and font choice is awful but apart from that it's refreshingly not "good taste". also seems to say nothing at all about The Who unless they've gone prog.

reminds me of this OMD album art:

i'm failing to see how that first who cover is so obviously hideous. besides, if you took off the text and posted the image, you'd have tons of people posting about how awesome that new black dice cover art is.
