WTF Album Covers: Pleasureman by Gunther

WTF bad album covers gunther pleasureman

I thought Gunther was joking. Surely, I wondered aloud, this HAS to be some Saturday Night Live gag spun off into its own release. Please tell me this guy’s not for real. Pleasureman here can NOT be serious.

But he IS.

Let’s consider the album as a unified concept for a moment–the images, the song titles, the face of the dork on the cover. You get Gunther’s faux-sexy “the Metamucil isn’t working” grimace, but you ALSO get staggeringly smooth and sophisticated tracks like Ding Dong Song. We’re talking high class material for the jet set here. Oh yes indeed, you ought to wrap your ears around this so you can get SUPER sexy before you go out on that blind date and turn on charm.

Tell me how you’ll be sustaining your arousal level without chemical assistance after listening to this nonsense. This stuff sounds like a VERY low rent Hyperbubble ripoff without the fun or canny observances of social phenomena (hear Pictures of Paradise for some great multiple entendres and commentary.

I do like the fact that Gunther is fondling himself on this album cover…indicative of what he did through the entire recording process in one way or another.

WTF Bad Album Covers: The Eternal Horror of Baby Lu-Lu

I don’t know about you, but the cover of this album makes me want to smash people with a shovel until the state troopers show up and taze me to death.

Reading the back cover makes me feel nauseous in a way I can’t properly explain. I wish I heard voices so I could obey them telling me to disintegrate whoever is responsible for this. (Click on the image to enlarge and damage your mind.)

WTF Bad Album Covers: Twin Peaks, Anyone?

WTF Bad album covers Music for Peace of Mind

Does the peace of mind come from the perspective of whoever’s responsible for the dead chick on the cover wrapped in plastic? Is this the corpse of a shrewish, constantly nagging loudmouth who said one snide thing too many before being bashed over the head with an Italian glass ashtray? Or maybe this album cover is suggesting that being DEAD and WRAPPED IN PLASTIC is what gives that peace of mind? Wow…what a statement!
