WTF: Clown Horror

October 26, 2009 album No Comments

wtf21

WTF is scarier than this album cover? The extreme closeup of this unholy circus clown reveals plenty of terrifying detail we could have lived our lives without seeing. For a start, it appears this clown has a nose piercing. Is this an escaped clown from the Jim Rose Circuse Sideshow, or what?

And that tiny little hat…it’s so small we can only conclude that it’s been nailed into place.

Somebody clearly thought this record would SELL. What kind of misguided, sinister person foisted this upon the world? And on vinyl, at that! The cover is far to evil and confused to be marketed at children, yet the idea of this selling to adults is too awful to comprehend. The imagery here is more like the zombie clown out of a George Romero film than fodder for a kiddie LP.

Fear the reaper, that’s the message of THIS album. Fear the reaper.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not at all a fan of black metal, so maybe it’s completely unfair to poke fun at the Tsjuder album cover for Demonic Possession. After all, if you’re not a fan of this kind of music, it just seems a bit silly. The “ooh scary” [...]

WTF Album Covers: Leona Anderson Music To Suffer By

April 12, 2011

I stumbled on this image of the album cover for Leona Anderson’s Music To Suffer By on The Magic Whistle. WTF is going on in this picture? This one’s suitable for framing–at least in MY house where bad album art has a special place of love and reverence.
There’s nothing quite like the joys of [...]

WTF Album Covers: Coup Party Music

April 5, 2011

Staggeringly poor taste? Misguided attempt at controversy? Or bad timing? According to several sources, this album cover for Party Music by Coup was accomplished before September 11, but that didn’t stop the FBI from taking a look. Coup were cleared of any perceived wrongdoing, but the mere existence of this imagery is enough to send [...]

WTF Bad Album Covers: Organ Fantasy

March 21, 2011

We were so busy last week with the inauguration of our new digital single download offerings that we haven’t posted a single bad album cover in quite some time. But rest assured, now that the kickoff of the digital downloads has started we are back on the prowl for the worst album covers ever.
For example…

WTF Album Covers: Before Lil’ Kim, Lil Wayne and Lil Jon…

February 28, 2011

Before Lil’ Kim started a “mee too” bandwagon longer than your arm, here was Lil’ Richard, toiling away in some miserable little studio. And NOT the Lil Richard responsible for the utterly unlistenable “Hos on My Team”…
The REAL Little Richard would be outraged to have his identity linked in any way to an album cover [...]
