Worst Album Art - Post & Shame!

[Darren]

I was just browsing on download stores a few mins ago and the idea of making this thread struck me. Particuarly after seeing this!

http://cdn.images.juno.co.uk/full/CS1463341-02A-BIG.jpg

Yes it's a woman, but why they needed to give her the visor of Geordi Le Forge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordi_La_Forge) I'll never know:tuktuk:

Is that the trance experience summed up then? You put this visor on and hold a glowy thing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Glowy_thing.png) and it spews out sparkles?

I hope not :icon_confused:... anyway!

This thread is for you to name, shame and post the picture of the offending album art! :p

Give us your worst! :icon_mrgreen:

[cheer_up]

first one that came to my mind :wacko::

I think that's actually not bad! :$ Though not for serious trance music, but I'd expect it to be more for Cascada/Basshunter/DJ Dean stuff.

oh my!... what an 'observer' :schater:

[Ms.Sivad]

Staying within EDM... first one that came to mind was Oakenfold's Perfecto Vegas cover. :huh: Looks as if he's totally stopped giving a fuck about photo shoots lol.

It's an image from web stock pictures.... just pay 3 $ and you get it !
this kind of image are good for elearning, or economic website... not for a album cover.....

Some of you may like it, but I think it's pretty horrible.

This cover rather matches the pop scene if you ask me (maybe the content too?). So cheesy!

[Luconia]

he IS pop! dont you just know it Christine?
i bet the cover really suits his poppy music very well :)

[Tranzi]

Yep, looks pretty terrible and look, theres the armada logo at the bottom right, reflekts this 'pop' culture aswell hehe.

[Nat]

Gets my vote

[AustralianGQ]

the newer ASOT albums are kinda lame with armin doing silly poses and all....the albums should jsut feature the title and like a scene of nature or something beautiful.

Disaster... :ohmy:

It is really and I never viewed it as such before. Japanese rising sun in the background, his expression I don't know what to make of :icon_confused:

The logo is probably the best thing and it looks like something from a 70's show or Hell's Angels. Then you have the brushed metal background which really doesn't complement things. The whole feel is a little puzzling, what was he aiming for?! :icon_confused:

[biggy01]

I have absolutely no idea...and this was official front cover image, for release of his album "Born For The Night"

It's about the worst photoshop ever, two semi naked backpackers overlooking a plastered on beach.

http://www.cha.lt/uploads/posts/2009-02/1235571746_jimpost.jpg

I love imagining the thought process going into this one

Marketing dude: We need something deep and a little out of the norm to strike anybody picking the CD up.

Artist: Why don't I stare intensely at the camera while naked and under a small waterfall?

Marketing dude: Brilliant!

Judging by this album cover he won't be getting many requests :sad2:, sorry Ken ...

Stomach wrenching? :D

I am finding the submissions to this thread absolutely hilarious! :D, I never knew there were such large numbers of artistic failures out there, to think they likely had thousands of copies of each one ... :smile1:

All I can say is keep them coming folks, keep them coming! :beer:

[Tranzi]

Maybe so much money on the productions but the left over pocket change on the covers? :D
Or the album art wasnt so important as it is now?

You got to place the album covers in the time they made it. Because when somebody saw those covers 20 years ago he/she probably thought it was cool..

Not so much bad, but just not normal for a cover imo
