Stop awful album covers 3

The epidemic of horrible music artwork continues this year. I felt somewhat forced to compile some of the worst covers of 2012 so far after seeing the last one of the set (be careful if you suffer from cardiac affections). I know, what matters is inside the sleeve, but artists, please respect your music, no more awful artworks like this ones!

ARTWORK ATROCITIES

The Ting Tings: Sounds from Nowheresville

Look! "Eddie" has a girlfriend! Ugh. The Ting Tings are "reoffenders"

The Chap: We Are Nobody

Why would you like to ruin your album with such an uninspired image? Reoffenders too

The Mars Volta: Noctourniquet

Prog-rock covers would deserve a separate post... umm better keep my mouth shout

Futurecop!: The Movie

Luckily, the "movie" doesn't exist

Toro y Moi: Underneath the Pine

I will never get why some people find eating food attractive for a picture or a video...

Varry Brava: Demasié

Spanish response to The Strokes' "Angles"? But who was demanding it?

New Build: Yesterday was Lived and Lost

I see a lemon. And huge amounts of drugs "creating" this cover

Sewave Tapes: Sewer Greats Volume IV

Classy, don't you think? But it can get worse. Just look below

Trust: TSRT

Please, no more awful album covers

I want to start my own crusade. A crusade against the incredible amount of awful music artwork we have nowadays in indie music. Please stop making these horrible covers!! There's people that still buy records and we love to have wonderful covers for our albums. They are important, and they serve the purpose of illustrating the contents, the atmosphere or the tone of a record. Otherwise what it shows is disdain or just a serious problem of bad taste. Please lets fight together to end with the bad, disgusting album sleeves!

SOME EXAMPLES OF ARTWORK ATROCITIES

Empire of the Sun: Walking on a Dream

Let's mix kitsch aesthetics with Star Wars saga. Bad idea, worst results

Coco Rosie: Grey Oceans

Easily, one of the ugliest covers in indie music history

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Stadium Arcadium

The amazingness of Word-Art? None

The Strokes: Angles

All the tackiness of the 80's gathered on a painful sleeve

The Ting Tings: We Started Nothing

Couldn't agree more with the album title. Little work on the cover, indeed

Weezer: Hurley

Funny joke from Weezer? No, just a horrible cover

Santogold: Santogold

Do I really need to say this is a disgusting cover?

Neil Young: Fork in the Road

Neil, if you weren't in the mood for a picture, at least you could have done something better with the fonts...

NO MORE COVERS LIKE THESE!
