Crappy album covers

I don't think Perun had to actively research this stuff. It's just part of general consumption.

Spoiler: NSFW (I think)

I assume Virtual XI is in there

Virtual XI isn't even the ugliest Iron Maiden cover, not by a long shot.

I had a hooded sweater with the album cover as a backprint. Really loved it but it was a bit too small. It´s better than alot of the reunion era covers.

All the Maiden album covers are great to me. Each one is different and tells a particular story. They have nothing to do in the Louder Sound's ranking.

Yngwie Malmsteen's Trilogy album cover is cool I don't understand why it is into that list. The rest are absolutely crap. Shame of the genre

I agree. The original album cover for Marching Out was far, far worse:

Not bad, but there are significantly worse Scorpions ones than they one they used.

That's crappy for all sorts of reasons.

I was hoping that was eleven Saintly shrouded men in the background, but I count at least double that.

The Album cover is not bad, There are many album covers of this sort. The problem is the guy and the tile of the album!

 

[MindRuler]

Apparently not a one hit wonder our Dick.

Has there ever been an accordion cover that isn't utterly ridiculous?

With all due respect, I strongly disagree!
This cover ´kin rules! The colour of the sky in contrast with the yellow eyes: brilliant! The moon lurking behind the temple! Some creepy evil cult cover man!

I can’t tell if the head is supposed to be an ape, a surprised guy in a mask with a zipper around the bottom, a dude with a reallly weird mustache, or a dude with a very deformed mouth.

I agree that the colors are striking, but the head isn’t creepy, it just looks like a bizarre mistake.
