Worst:

Yes, I'm serious. It's uninspired crap, much like the filler content for music contained within.

^cmon buddy, you've got to look harder than the stuff that gets posted on deviantart by the truckload. But if you think being instantly dated is some sort of cool artistic statement, then more power to you.

No, I'm familiar with all of the albums and their covers. I'm saying their covers look like the usual forgettable deviant art fare.

Ohhh.

Ehh.. well everybody's not going to like them I guess.

I didnt mean to be insulting to you folks. I just get tired of the photoshop aesthetic. though I guess to be fair, I should also call out that wreck of a Crash Test Dummies album up there too. How can you reconcile having the Aladdin Sane cover in the same list as that thing? Or maybe that Linkin Park cover featuring the same resedas hue and pop-art as a mountain dew commercial.

Well, these were albums that my roommate and I figured were worthy of having on our wall in our first year of college. So we got all them in vinyl format and put them up with that command sticky tape.

Haha yeah go ahead. Single LPs take two, and dual LPs take three or four. We spent a lot on them but it was totally worth it.

We pretty much had the most badass dorm in my building. We always had friends stopping by to hang out everyday. What you don't see in these pics though is the shag rug, my Dave Grohl flipping the bird poster, my OK Computer poster, and my roommate's huge Clash poster.

^ Yeah, its always looked like a particularly dull game of pick up sticks to me. Not exactly befitting of the name.

Anyways, heres a cover from a fun little marxist band thats always stuck out to me in a line up.
