Bad album art? Well, hell son, YOU be the judge. This album cover does NOT depict a 12-year old Mos Def doing a prank record…instead it’s made for suckers who think they’re going to hear real live demons talking through their halpless victims. But let’s not get carried away, WTF is all about the LP cover art and what artwork this is.
What in the WORLD is going on here? The album is called “Crying Demons” but we see a grinning cross-eyed partygoer with one too many Bud Lights with Lime in him instead. Or maybe it’s nitrous oxide. Perhaps our cover model is fresh out of a car accident and he’s got some horrific head injury we can’t quite see…whatever is going on here, it’s pretty far away from demonic possession. Where’s the green pea soup spewing?
I LOVE this album cover to DEATH. I need to OWN this masterpiece, and you can actually PURCHASE IT ON AMAZON albeit at the insane collector’s price of $27.86 for a used copy (at press time. Who knows what one is going for now??)
I won’t say that I’d SELL MY SOUL for a copy of this record. No I won’t.

Believe it or not I’ve actually been in situations where people were supposedly possessed by the devil. It’s always the same. The devil never actually shows up. Instead, you get a few hours of wailing and screeching, praying and crying. That’s a hell of a lot worse then the Devil making a guest appearance. At least then you could go dancing.
this is a soundtrack to a mondo documentary with the same title
