WTF Album Covers: The Depravity Of Man

Boy, those evangelical album covers really know how to sell you on the idea of listening to them all the way through, don’t they? I am fully in favor of the depravity part, and the figure on the cover of this horror certainly looks prepared to indulge in some, too. The cross looming behind him seems more than a bit…well, ready to join in.

The New Birth bit I have extreme reservations about, don’t you? I prefer MY depravity procreation-free, thanks. Not sure what’s going on with the flames on the lefthand side of this album cover–is that to keep everyone from getting the goosebumps whist enjoying a bit of debauchery?

The real trouble with albums like this is that the preachers are under some kind of misguided notion that depravity is a BAD THING. Ahh, well. There’s no arguing with ’em, especially if you’re too busy fending off their unwanted advances, spiritual or otherwise. “Methinks the lady doth protest too much” and all that.

I don’t own this but would love to purchase one…got one to sell? Get in touch 🙂
