Ikki 807 Posted January 17, 2016 I present you the cover of BY-SEX's Ago EP. It was drawn and photoshopped by Den himself. The album covers Den made for test-No. are just as bad, but I this one I can't even laugh at. We all should be happy that Den isn't in charge of making the covers for the new Zigzo releases. 5 suji, violetchain, ghost and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitear1590 2414 Posted January 17, 2016 There must be a duplicate thread, because I know these have been posted before. Anyway, my "fave" worst CD covers:Dear L'Novel - 罪と罰(Tsumi to Batsu) ViViD - Message Dear L'Novel's is one of the few albums that I truly enjoy but refuse to buy, because the album art would haunt me. And yet, the ViViD one is somehow worse, because they were actually a major band. Can you imagine who designed these covers and thought "Yup, these are good to go!" 8 meat, ghost, NICKT and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alkaloid 3143 Posted May 28, 2016 I'm amazed no one has mentioned Jackman's Multi Color Freaks (Or, as the cover says, Malti Color Freaks) yet. (Or if they have, the link is broken.) Best of all, it came in two versions, so twice the ugly! (Although type B (the purple) is waaaaay worse.) 5 Mr.0, enyx, ghost and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violetchain 912 Posted March 15, 2017 The cover of NOA's "Paper Hearts" album is pretty ugly.

This thread is funny but in my opinion, there are definitely more horrible covers than beautiful ones hahaha Here is my selection: ALiBi – ЯOCK★STAR (2009) Anli Pollicino – Fahrenheit 31 (2009) Awake – ★Heavy★Decorationz★Party★ (2012) BORN – オルタナティヴ・タランチュラ (2015) DOG inThePWO – ミラクルSUPER超DX (2012) Kra – Life～Today is a very good day to Die～ (2009) SCREW – Brilliant (2016) カメレオ (Kameleo) – KAMENICATION！(2016) You're welcome... 4 platy, Ito, suji and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As much as I think DIV CD covers were usually cool, CD cover for limited version of "Secret" is a mess. Too much stuff going on here and I don't know if this was supposed to be like that or designer got too carried away. Spoiler But my biggest nightmare is that purple Jackman CD cover mentioned few posts earlier. It's so bad I don't even want to quote it so I don't have to look at it more than I should. xD This is some beginner level Photoshop skills and colors are just painfull. Also not a big fan of those covers with only a band/vocalist picture on them with no other efects. Too lazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robkun 4184 Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) Well, I've got a good amount. 16, to be exact. Kasutera (カステラ) - "Tori (鳥)" (1990): The title literally translates to "bird", so there you go, a cover centered on... a bird. And not just any bird, but an emu. Alright..... interesting choice? STRAWBERRY - coming all the way E.P. (2000) Okay, I've seen a few hideous drawings as covers, but this takes the cake. The girl literally looks like a sick, teenage Barbara Streisand, with her body looking twisted and contorted like she was fighting off death. It's just... nasty. Kome Kome CLUB (米米CLUB) - Phi II (1994): Okay, I see what they're trying to do with the whole Washington, D.C. theme, but it just doesn't work. The coloring of the background and the lack of stripes on the structures they're supposed to represent just makes them look like PEZ dispensers. Flipper's Guitar - CAMERA TALK (1990): "Camera talk"? Well now, it sure as hell covers that theme. You have some old foreign dude on the left, with the floating hands on the main part of the cover representing his hands, I presume? I don't know. It's quite an eyesore though, and the scribbles don't help. ELECTRIC EEL SHOCK - SLAYER's BAY BLUES (2000): The guys in ELECTRIC EEL SHOCK have a damn good sense of humor which I appreciate (I've been a fan of Bloodhound Gang since I was in middle school, for example), but the comically poor photoshopping of the singer wailing on one of the members just makes it a bizarre spectacle. UNICORN (ユニコーン) - Hattori (服部) (1989): One of the most legendary Japanese rock albums of its era, the cover still bewilders many to this day. Apparently the guy is some dude named Fukutaro Nakamura (中村福太郎), who supposedly had some connection to the band? Whatever it may be, it definitely remains one of the most memorable Japanese album covers to date for its weirdness and maintains a legacy of sorts today. KEMURI - waiting for the rain (2005): Soooo a schoolbus is broken down which holds the bandmates of KEMURI, and one of the kids on the bus got out and took an extreme closeup of her with the band wandering in the background while a giant fountain sprays simultaneously? ... Makes sense. KUSU KUSU - cajon (1991): Seriously, this cover just gives me the creeps. They look like the kind of guys who sneak into your bedroom and just watch you sleep. Those damn colorful freaks. THE FOOLS - Weed War (1984) Well now, for a drug war, that is the happiest person I've ever seen involved. I guess she may be a huge drug pin that the government just can't take down? Un...touchable. YUKI - Melanchorinista (メランコリニスタ) (2006): It's no secret, but I have a huuuuuuuuuuuge crush on YUKI. I can't even listen to JUDY AND MARY a lot without swooning like a schoolgirl. So when I heard that she did a "nude" cover of sorts, I immediately jumped on it and Googled it in a heartbeat. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Seriously, this looks like a woodsy Sapporo dude's fantasy come to life. Not cool. SPIRAL LIFE - FLOURISH (1995): What the hell?! I guess this is a close view on the Tokyo perv of the mid 90's? But where the hell is the bottom half?! You know what... I guess I don't want to know. SUPERCAR - OOYeah!! (1999): Now don't get me wrong, I love me some SUPERCAR, especially pre-"HIGHVISION", but what the fuck is this?! A collage of the band members's noses? THE ZIP GUNS - THIS IS YOUR LIFE (1997): Something about this cover feels exploitive and makes me uncomfortable. RC SUCCESSION (RCサクセション) - FEEL SO BAD (1984): Ahh... ohh... umm... no comment. TRICERATOPS - KING OF THE JUNGLE (2001): Homoerotic Japanese Tarzan, anybody? Speaking of... Skip Cows (スキップカウズ) - The Great Hunting (ザ・グレート・ハンティング) (2001): Yeah... sometimes covers can speak for themselves.
