Best/worst Album cover design

Submitted by GeminiChild on Thu, 2001-09-20 21:33

I was wondering what everyones favourite nz album cover design was. Its hard to think of one that really stands out. Personally I think one of the worst one was the fishy album by shihad, not saying that shihad suck because I think they're NZ/wellingtons best ever band just that fish had nothing to do with the album or the band and it looks crap, the album I quite like. If I had to pick the best Album cover it would be weta's Geographica which is also a great album.

I personally thought the "fish" album cover was good... I just hate white plastic CD casing.
I think Tadpole's whole design theme for 'Buddhafinger' was crappy bullshit, but I'm sure I could think of worse.
Best cover? What about Jon Toogood bleeding on 'The Best of Wildside' or the similar 'Blood on the Honkytonk Floor'?

I thought the covers to House of Downtown and Concord Dawn (the first one) were really good, simply because they fitted the music so well (slick, shiny and glossy works well with house, and Japanese anime... goes with drum'n'bass? Okay, that doesn't work, but they still rule the school).
RedLightSyndrome was pretty extreme too.

P.S. White CD casing looks cooler than black some of the time... Black = early 90s.

Betchadupa's 3d ep is lame.

Secrets of the Estranged~ Flesh D-Vice is the best cover, followed by Paul Ubana Jones~ Things that touch me so, in which his afro is in full view.

I like the Undercurrents EP sleeve
it is nice paper

how about Stunt Clown by the Headless Chickens.

Tall Dwarfs is worst
it was not a cover , just two bits of cardboard
when ya trashed you forgot and tipped the record out of the slip.
a party favorite for sure but probably tiresome really.
