Unintelligible album covers


Recommended Posts

Posted

There are albums that have covers that are so incomprehensible that they leave neither a bad nor a good impression.

 

They're not poorly made and may not have an ounce of bad taste, yet they seem lazy and clunky in concept and execution.

 

I'll start.

Norah Jones was a huge discovery in 2003 with astonishing worldwide sales of 25 millions of copies and a dozen Grammys. 

 

The cover of her follow-up album, which sold a million copies in its first week in the US, raises eyebrows. 

 

There is nothing on the cover that catches the eye. Even the font is kind of old-fashioned and cheap.

Lead single's artwork... Well... I really had an expectation that we can exchange them.

Eh. I don't agree with your example. Great cover. Sometimes an explanation is not needed. Plus the answer is in the title - "feels" like home

Referring to that album cover as ‘unintelligible’ is a strange choice of wording. :biblio:

Yes, that's the actor from Alex Strangelove. They're hot so I give this single cover a pass but the Reaper one takes me out every single time :deadbanana2: it's giving p*dophile groomer, what was Sia thinking?

Probably exactly that. Look at the images, they don't appear to be well intentioned. I do not trust Sia, she's clearly a very disturbing person.

Flavors look cheap as hell

 

However, Jagged Little Pill fits the album's sound. The color palette especially gives a grunge-y and alternative indie feel

Incomprehensible yes, but it does leave a bad impression :-*
I love this album, but this cover is such a joke asldkjfapiowurja

 

omg but wait, I saw the photo before the bike was added recently since all those BTW shoot photos were released. The album cover has been around so long that she kinda looks weird here without the bike:
