Yeah, it looks like it was designed by a blind man.

Don't hurt me
I won't hurt you! That was just too funny actually, I can't stop laughing at the joke.. or maybe I'm just exhausted!
Yeah, I love Graffiti Bridge movie, so what? ''Oooooooooooh Montreal, say it!''
If you can't be nice to someone on the net, you probably ain't worth much talking to in real life either. | |

Not necessarily that bad, but far less iconic than what it's made out to be:

In Al Jourgensen's defense, he never had that much style anyway:

..., but Emancipation has always taken the cake for me. I couldn't believe what the cover art was like when I first had that thing in my hands. It looked like the cover art for those budget computer games you could buy for like 2.99$ at the time. [Edited 7/1/11 8:09am] | |

It's a great album alright, but the cover of SITKOL looks like an image from a colonoscopy. No wonder people thought that Stevie was starting to disappear up his own.... It's been too long since you've had your ass kicked properly:

This is a copy of Teddy's 1981 album.
You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I've always really loved that poem on the cover, too.
"When you go solo you hold your own hand"...."Depth is the greatest of heights"...."there's no body to batter when your mind is your might"....
Awesomeness. "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

This is an interesting thread. I sometimes have difficulty separating the cover art from the music. A mediocre, or just plain awful cover can seem brilliant because of the brilliant music it contains. Ziggy Stardust and Purple Rain are two examples - cover art is nothing special, but both are iconic because of the association with the songs on the albums. Street Songs too. Stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths...(Jeremiah 6:16) www.ancientfaithradio.com

not awful, just rushed and simple, could have been much better  | |

This is a concept worth talkin 'bout.
It's LOST on the modern music consumer.......how the art was an integral PART of the "experience" of the music. Digital has destroyed a lot of that stuff.
As "art" in & of themselves, many album covers are horrid. But if you hold it in your hands & LOOK at it while listening to the music.........brilliance. (?)
Some whole genres' appreciation DEPENDS on it. I don't think one can even comprehend P-Funk (for example.....or maybe Pink Floyd, for another) WITHOUT the intended cover art. Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

LMAO at Graham Central Station's album cover. It looks even wilder on the back. Don't laugh at my funk

I'm gonna confess something:
I hate this cover:
Space for sale... | |

I concur.........but.....in context..and ESPECIALLY factoring in the resulting tour, it made perfect sense.
Stark....almost Orwelian .....yet brilliant. Like Stevie's "Songs"...not sure what would have done justice to the finest work of Janet Jackson / FlyteTyme.
Maybe....sometimes..it's best to just artistically say..."here it IS motherfuckers". The music exceeds the cover-art by light years. Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

The Beatles had a LOT of fucking-ugly cover art. They probably own the crown of always having the shittiest artwork, along with being the most overrated band in the history of the world.
Yeah, I said it.

ummmm....
the MMT cover is crappy, yes, but the covers of With the Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Revolver, Sgt.Peppers, White Album and Abbey Road are classics and still influential...
overrated band??? sorry, I won't play that game...again, lol | |

I totally agree.....Besides, anyone who says The Beatles is overrated automatically loses credibility... الحيوان النادلة ((((|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|)))) ...AND THAT'S THE WAY THE "TITTY" MILKS IT!

and you didn't even mention their 2 best, Help and Rubber Soul. Compared with most 60s albums their covers are brilliant. | |

I know this cover was created without Jimi's consent but I always hated it.

Does it really qualify as a great album though? It's probably one of their least great. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Yeah I think it's great. Well .. erh. No. Now that you ask. It's good. Not great. Highlights for me are "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane" .. and they were only included in the US release.
