The album cover for the soundtrack to this movie was pretty crappy IMHO:

what a great contribution to the thread!

Aw man, this board is dead :-(

I don't understand how they managed to fuck it up so badly

>stop liking what I don't like

...

...

maybe they were just really feeling pen n pixel rap at the time
it's better than a photograph of a forest or something

posting mixtapes is cheating

how is this a bad cover?

more like the reverse

obviously not their best but jesus christ

oh boy

I love Dev but this shit is preposterous

>great albums

>it's called accelerated evolution? alright let's just put some science lookin shit on that bitch
even the name is really amateurish

I guess. Fuck all the aesthetics and nomenclature though. The music is far from amateurish.

...

I actually really like Dance of Death. One of the most underrated Iron Maiden albums. It's too bad about the cover art though, had a lot of potential.

...

this one always bothered me

Not sure if it's that great but goddamn that is some shit art.

Because it's a truly awful cover. Everything from the awful overexposure effect, to his goofy costume and goofier facial expression; it's so awful.

Whoever thought of the color scheme for this one needs to be shot.

...

Some of the best albums have awful art. I'm a big Bowie fan but that album art is fucking disgusting.

Superior cover

Obligatory post
(not great, but on first seeing the cover you wouldn't be unreasonable for expecting a woefully lazy piece of shit)

there are very few individuals with such poor aesthetic taste as devin townsend. some of the worst album art i've ever seen jeez.

...

I'm pretty sure he uses the same artist for most, if not all, of his albums. Must be a good friend or something... but yeah, most of his album covers are pretty shit.

why does devin consistently have shit art
(except ziltoid)

the names anthony clarkson and tim smith seem to pop up more often than others, but otherwise it's almost a revolving door of artists, so who knows

Wtf that's good art

I think it's more that both albums clearly have great art

The Designer's Republic have been releasing a bunch of minimalist "muh aesthetic" bullshit for a while now between elseq, plaid's new album and the recent apex twin releases (cheetah looked sexy though).

haha this always blew my mind too

shitty band anyway ;)

...

Came here just to post that.

And it's obviously their best, fight me.

>And it's obviously their best, fight me.

Best = Seventh Son

I actually like the art on this

Well, it's not good.

top kek

Devin fan reporting - Accelerated Evolution has nothing on his latest

It's okay, though I will admit that looking at it from afar, it kind of makes me a little squirmish
are you kidding? that's what makes this album cover so good
I really don't know what they were thinking here
I actually don't mind this cover, but I think it might just be due to the fact that this album is so iconic that I've just come to accept it

...

what is this?

believed to be inspired by A Child is Born

look up "money guy" on google images

dude that cover is fucking amazing

people tell me that it's supposed to look retro but I don't get it. I'm probably too young.

lmao all the comments implying these people think they're listening to something so experimental and weird

>dat holo-weed

Is this the new Nick Cave album?

...

Fake Boards of Canada album

Screwed version is better

...

Ferg looks retarded on that cover.

*smacks lips*

This

how did you find that?

Also, any Built to Spill album besides There Is No Enemy (nice cover) and Untethered Moon (boring album).

It would be ok as the cover of one of their earliest albums though.

I find it funny. I can almost feel the textures on the tips of my fingers.

I actually think it looks rather nice.

What's wrong with this? If anything Moon/Antarctica is worse.

To be fair I think this was meant to be a joke

even if it was meant to be a joke it's a shitty joke and it bombed.

It is technically experimental, seeing as it hadnt been done before

wyd

wew lad, current designer's republic is still breddy gud
you'd better not be saying the album isn't good. the cover art is okay too, not too great though.

wew lad, no it's not. not at all.

That cover looks sorta aesthetic

Holy fuck, are you joking? Like I actually have to know why you don't like that cover. Its fucking better than the music on the album

It's better than the cover for Perpetuum Mobile. I own a physical copy of Alles Wider.. and It looks sweet, some gr8 photos and sticker

pic related is my choice, possibly their best post-reunion albums, ruined by an awfull cover and bad tracklisting

...

Why is devin so shit at album art?

>Dude what if atom bomb lmao

This image for ants does not do it justice

Lol thank you for posting that. Its based as fuck

I just realized that its kool keith holding the sandwich

I think it suits the music wonderfully.

The artwork is beautiful! Makes me think of a landscape. It's impressionist, not a "clusterfuck".

Nah I think in context of where it came after The Chronic, the artwork feels like it's ushering in a new era of hip hop and in a non-cringey way.

disagree entirely

this is amazing
