Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[Florestan]

This is not that bad, actually, what with its references to Piero della Francesca and Dali. Surrealistic indeed.

Nature abhors a vacuum cleaner?

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Okay. I didn't know this violin player. Based on your feedback, I re-designed/re-thought the cover art again hopefully reflecting better the personality of this artist:

Well done!

PD

p.s.  I think that you could have either a new or secondary career in your future!

Thanks for your positive and encouraging words!

Yes, because the key tool that a man takes out into the fields with him is THAT.

I mean, it's not even coherently irrelevant. Maybe the cover designer had heard the album and was just trying to convey that it sucked.

That sucks compared to what Naxos did:

Far out. I thought it was a joke, but it's real.

I am taking the matter of this thread very seriously you know

Excellent.

And yet, it's very simple and logical. Who does the vacuum-cleaning usually? The mother. Well, now it's Father's Day, ie father's time. "And while you're at it, darling, mow the lawn as well, if you be so kind!" "Sure, honey, no problem!" and after a while: "Darling, you're a genius! You managed to mow the lawn using the vacuum-cleaner!"

What is so bad about the cover? It fits the title like a glove.

Yeah, that cover art is fine imho. It's the concept of "ultimate silence" that is weird.

Granted, the ultimate silence is to be found rather in the grave than listening to music --- but the cover can hardly be classified among the worst, both in itself and in its relation to the album's concept.

People don't seem to find truly ugly cover art anymore and instead they post stuff they find "weird." This thread could be renamed "Weird looking CD/LP artwork."

Ultimate silence???  I have some strong doubts! Anyway, leave dolphins alone, don't go near them, don't lock them up in horrible pools, don't turn them into tacky clowns. Before you know André Rieu has them singing Frühlingstimmen wearing a cheap wig and even cheaper costumes...)
