Tell you what. Let's have a look at some album covers that are a bit shite, shall we?
Some bands have a good concept but do it badly, some have a bad concept and do it really badly and some just threw a handful of crayons at the wall and used the result. I leave it to you to decide which is which.
Before we go any further I'd like to issue my usual disclaimer.
Bad cover does not equal bad band.
Now read on.
There's a man surfing in a toilet.
That's the not even the most bizarre thing about this cover.
Ho Boy.
These Finns make it perfectly clear that they aren't Satanic.
Still not exactly people you'd invite around for milk and cookies though.
They seem entirely too keen on stabbing dudes for my liking.
Dodgy Teutonic Speed Metal?
Raucous South American Thrash?
Here's a perfect example of a band being let down by their artwork because this Staffordshire
crew have been delivering sophisticated, intelligent hard rock since 1980 and
sound more like Magnum than whatever mental image that cover brought up.
Great band.
Terrible cover.
So what does this cover have to do with "Sex", exactly?
Dark have a song called "Sex Shop of Doctor Fuctor" which amuses me more than it should.
The pylons are apparently made of turds so that's pretty insane.
Sticking with giant-ass eyes...
He also seems to think it's still 1984.
I'm going to have nightmares about giant, clutching pink claws tonight, I just know it.
Time for me to go shout at some seagulls so I'll knock it on the head.
