I dunno, she's kinda hot. And it looks like she was doing the same kind of schtick Rusty Warren was known for. Anyway, I recommend LP Cover Lover.

Don't get me wrong, Mew is one of my favorite bands out there. But their new album has a cover that looks like it was done on Paint. it looks like one of the little creatures in thunderf00ts explaining evolution with the computer programme video 'evolution for IDiots'

Scorpions had lots of weird album covers.

No Manowar yet? I shall have to remedy that problem with this: Also, someone PLEASE tell Malmsteen that it isn't 1985 anymore:

I once got slightly aroused when I first saw The Wretched Spawn cover You mean this? kjobben.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/the_wretched_spawn.jpgYou scare me. Also, here's some cartoony thrash metal album covers. Would you believe that the Exodus album is a classic, and Kirk Hammett from Metallica wrote some of the songs on it?

WHAT!. Cannibal Corpse makes my favorite album covers. I once got slightly aroused when I first saw The Wretched Spawn cover Haha, Cannibal Corpse album covers rule. Here's a crap one: (sorry, couldn't find a bigger one) Now, I'm a huge Gary Numan fan. I think he's one of the most criminally underrated musicians of the 20th century. But this cover. is. shit. The idea was that the album was going to have a darker sound and lyrics than Numan was known for at that point, and the artwork was supposed to highly contrast that (hence the title, The Fury.) Now when done right, this can work really well (see: Throbbing Gristle's 20 Jazz Funk Greats for perhaps the best example.) But the album, while featuring some dark lyrics, ended up not being all that dark musically (it sounded like a mid-80's movie theme song) and so the cover *and* title were miserable failures. I can't imagine many youngin's in 1985 saw this in the record store and thought "hot damn, I'm getting this!" One of the CD reissues changed the cover to something slightly more tolerable: Still not all that great though.

Mayhem's live album Dawn of the Black HeartsLinked for severe NSFW-ness and graphic violenceI like gory album covers. I love Cannibal Corpse's covers, for example. But the story behind this is what makes it creepy and distasteful; it's a real picture, being of the band's original vocalist (who sings on this album) after he committed suicide. One of his bandmates got to the house and found him like this, and his first instinct was, for some reason, to get back in the car, drive back into town, buy a disposable camera, and take this snapshot. *Then* notify the proper people of his discovery. The whole thing just seems wrong. That whole band was fucked up; the guy who took the snapshot was later murdered by another bandmate - thrown through a window and cut/stabbed 23 times over a contract dispute. It's spooky but kind of amusing to go back and listen to an album with all three of those guys performing together. On to lighter business: Pantera's first four, glam-flavored, independently-released albums are notoriously bad.
