I know we've done this before, but I'm fucked if I can find the thread.

 Re: Really shit album covers...
I have to disagree with Cacophony, Massacre and Darkthrone. (The latter due to it being Iconic rather than an out and out good cover.)

 Re: Really shit album covers...
Do not, under any circumstances, discount this cover:  Album's pretty decent, though.

 Re: Really shit album covers...
No, that's fair, the thread title is "Really shit album covers..." not a bit shit, not very good, or naff... I think there needs to be some restraint shown and decision around "really shit" or not if we're going to go there, so I think some of the Robit ones shouldn't count (but I guess he's just recalling all previous nominees - though most aren't "really shit")
(To my mind that Metal Church one is the worst one on the list, particularly as this was supposed to be a slightly more mature response to the Black album from a band struggling to stay "relevant" following the explosion of grunge. To be fair, musically, it's got some good songs on there. Image/promotion wise... Holy fuck...)

Ah, so we're filtering it down. Ok. Can't wait for the Really, Really, Really Shit Album Covers thread then!

Fair. In that case, shit album covers should also include -

 Re: Really shit album covers...
And this stinker cannot be ignored. The song manages to be even worse than it's cover art, somehow...

 Re: Really shit album covers...
I don't mind The X Factor actually. it was an attempt at something conceptual and different. it's not great, but it's not horrible either imo.
'Dance Of Death' would have looked good if it was actually finished!
