tbf, Man or Astro-man?'s whole existence depended on this vibe. To call them out for it seems petty.

That first Servotron pic is based on this, which is awesome rather than horrible :

The Soul Coughing sleeve brings back bad memories of constantly seeing it in bargain bins for several years afterwards.

It's funny, I keep thinking of bands that I'd think would have a cover like this and then I can't find one. Surely Aquabats did this at least once?! But I guess they go for more of a superhero comics thing.

thanks guys, you're bringing me right back to my first day of work at Sam Goody in 1997.

the lyrics on that are even more dated than the sleeve

as with man or astroman, midcentury retro-futurism is fundamental to creed's radiation-damaged DNA, so maybe it's similarly unfair to include his work here, but damn this cover is dopey

it's probably not cool to post obscurities (also it's not technically an album) buta) I have this 7" and it comes to mind whenever I see this thread titleb) one of the four badly pasted heads on the left went on to be the frontman in somewhat ILM-celebrated band K-X-P

schatzi album cover is [glitter]AMAZING[/glitter]
― contenderizer, Sunday, 15 February 2015 16:06 (ten years ago)
Schatzi cover is really interesting in that, in its lateness, it's clearly stepping towards a proper 1980s revival - this way lies Chromeo - but clearly the 50s spaceman thing is still lingering in everybody's minds. And of course those terrible CGI rave video spaceships, A+
