We've been discussing it enough elsewhere. I was designing better things on my ZX Spectrum in the 1980s.

I think it is just mediocre and it doesn't bother me even slightly. I will be far more interested in the music, just hope it can be downloaded and then I won't look at the cover ever again.

It's already available for purchase as a download, to be added to streaming services next month.

Boring, but hardly terrible.

It's just a scruffy young'un. Nothing gruesome.

The worst album sleeve Live Skull e.p raise the manifestation it's hideous, please  avoid looking at it, by the way there is a new Live Skull used to like there bleakness a lot now they seem to have lost this  element into indie rock mainstream, perhaps I will have to listen to it again.. But let stay in subject worst artwork death-doom act Castle the band is good fairly so but the sleeve ishe oh my god here are image that testified how awful it is both album, get a bucket before, you might puke this is so drab orange and brow.So I warn  the fainted hearts don't look at it too long.

It's terrible because ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has been done to make a boring photo look more interesting/better. The rules of how to use the laundry room of an apartment building can have this level of "non-design", but I'm sure a lot of laundry room rules look better than this cover "art."

One laundry room I frequented had a poster that said:

"Be Alert – Your Country Needs Lerts"

Actually your laundry room need "museds" - hence the poster.

Ah well, if you think "boring" is a sufficiently terrible crime, so be it. Personally I think there are plenty of examples on this thread of bad being worse than boring.

Most irreverent, at least.

1979

Fiedler (1894-1979) was wasting away and near death when he posed for this photo, which makes the album cover rather tasteless.
