fitear1590 2414 Posted August 8, 2013 OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE HAS FORGOTTEN THE WORST MODERN SINGLE COVERS IN EXISTENCE. They are too horrible to post so click the link. http://www.jpopasia.com/i1/news/3/9700-ryjkqdvtpm.jpg http://www.jpopasia.com/i1/news/3/9700-gpi6jq1mbz.jpg http://japan-discoveries.com/images/single_vivid_message_limited%20edition%20type%20A_00.jpg Did I win? LOL, that's true. The Dear L'Novel one I posted is beyond god awful, but at least they're just a tiny indie band. ViViD is fucking MAJOR and they produced this crap. I particularly love the "whoosh" effect on this one: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flash-Fab-Supernova 88 Posted August 8, 2013 ^That one too. Looks like some kind of Star Trek soundtrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBistroButcher666 228 Posted August 9, 2013 I'm not quite sure if everyone is on the same page with what "tacky" means. I also don't think covers from the 90s should count either because it's the 90s. 2 nullmoon and orangetarts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lichtlune 915 Posted August 11, 2013 I don't get what's wrong with that D cover? i thought it was cool or above average for a band cover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augie1995 325 Posted August 11, 2013 I don't think ViViD deserves to be in the tacky category for their MESSAGE and Infinity covers, but they do deserve to be in the most non-creative cover arts or at least "low-budget" looking covers even though they were major for those covers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted August 11, 2013 I don't get what's wrong with that D cover? i thought it was cool or above average for a band cover Tbqh D as a whole is tacky as hell (I think it escalated when the whole Vampire Saga thing started though) yet it feels so tacky because it looks like a deviantart piece or concept art for some sort of fantasy game that everybody buys because it's made by Square Enix but turns out to be absolutely awful in the end.

orangetarts 249 Posted August 15, 2013 SID's Koi ni Ochite Hot colors and lousy posing and the song title in a weird angle. It could've been worse though, they could've had crappy font and ugly hairstyles.

orangetarts 249 Posted September 21, 2013 new lycaon album like...wow they really didnt put ANY effort into this at all did they. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyura 465 Posted September 21, 2013 ^the way they threw the words on that one bothers me, too but the photo is really cool. Is that lycaons vocalist? (I only listened to them once and didn't like them, so I have no idea~) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikna 1225 Posted September 21, 2013 Yeah... I actually think the photo doesn't look so bad. I guess the bad taste it emits comes from what it portrays (fetish motives are really hard to pull off seriously). But the Typo bothers me as well... especially the spacing of the worlds. They did it to make the typo look more interesting, but it just looks bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orangetarts 249 Posted September 21, 2013 The photo is fine but its like... just a photo with some bad typography on it. like at least edit the photo and make it super rad you know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ito 2438 Posted September 28, 2013 I'm not quite sure if everyone is on the same page with what "tacky" means. I totally agree here...I feel like this thread is less about tacky covers and more about just terrible ones...not that that is a bad thing lol. Here are some ones I find tacky X Japan - Art of Life The Dead End Tribute albim coldrain - the enemy inside Oblivion Dust - Girl in Mono/Bed of Roses Zodia - Hate Naki Zetsubo, Kuchi Hateru Taiyo Mucc - Karma Dollis Marry - Last Scene baroque - monodrama Girugamesh - NOW Luna Sea - The One -Crash to Create- Undead Corporation - O.D. matenrou opera - otoshiana no soko wa konna sekai I'm sure I can find more in my library, but I am done for now lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
