Worst Album Cover of 2011...So Far
PopCrush put together 2011 Worst Album Covers so far and it's a pretty damn good list. Limp Bizkit's cover of Gold Cobra tops the list, as well it should.
I have no idea what is going on in the album cover. I think it has something to do with the Adam/Eve Genesis story, but as PopCrunch points out, the cobra isn't even gold. The women look like retarded pigs with their tongues out and there is an artist rendition of Limp Bizkit fans in the background. At least that is my cursory deconstruction of the album cover. This album title is stupid and makes no sense, but I'd have chosen 311's Universal Pulse.
This album cover is visibly jarring and makes no sense. The use of the three biomes (oceans, deserts, and forests) is suspicious. The glaring omission of the Tundra biome is depressing and a gross oversight by the artist. This cover looks like a child chewed 50 Skittles and threw up on a table. The use of a ram, baboon, and an eagle are also interesting. Out of all the animals in the animal kingdom, why a ram or baboon? PopCrunch called this album cover: National Geographic on an acid trip through the lens of a kaleidoscope...which is dead on.
Other contenders on this list are Lady Gaga Born This Way, which has to be the worst attempt at transforming her image. Gags wants people to see her change and evolve with each album, but transforming into a motorcycle or an alien is just attention whoring. It hasn't affected her sales as they are hovering past 1.5 million. That, I believe, is more toward her $0.99 cent pricing scheme on the day the album was released and not indicative of her selling power.
