All time classic shit cover. To be fair, that mid-90's early Photoshop period is a rich seam.



Every 'tallica effort since 1991 is utter shite, too.

Yeah another that fits that category:

A few others that came to mind:

Although the Fates Warning could maybe be in the so bad it's good category

'Set The World On Fire' in particular, the sadness on him sitting there with his doll in a post apocalyptic landscape

Still one of the funniest ever.  Just look at the actual Grind Bastard on the front cover.

Y'know if I was to picture a grind bastard it would have been anything other than that  :laugh:

Is the grind bastard sitting on the loo?

Grinding out a bastard.

Was it mentioned for the blue album covers thread??  :laugh:

Don't think so. Probably because of the Mazda.

Some gems there alright. Worthy mention for Gates of Ishtar's "Dawn of Flames" which is a blatant rip of of Exciter's "Long Live The Loud." Invasion Records used the image without the band's knowledge or permission. Mind you the musical quality is absolutely brilliant. One of the few bands with a perfect discography, albeit it only stretched to three albums.



This is what alwasys comes to mind, I actually own the LP and I laugh whenever I see it.

I always liked that Hallow's Eve cover, in an 80s/Blade runner kinda way.

Attacker: Battle At Helm's Deep

Don't own a copy but it came to mind. Think it was modified over the years but I think the modified versions are worse. Not a crap album though.

Attacker Battle at Helms Deep cover is the epitome of so bad it's good haha. I like that Hallows Eve art aswell
