'Love beech' is a photo sleeve as in early days,possibly a begining to an end type of thing.Yeh! I can think of far worse album covers though

pink floyd - the final cut... after all that stunning work with storm they come out with that... yes - going for the one... leave your naked men at home, not in front of my skyscraper metallica - load/reload done by an artist who "paints" with his own blood, urine and cum. Though maybe those albums deserved to be covered in blood, urine and cum. dream theater - falling into infinity, i really miss the normal DT title font and maybe a picture of someone falling into infinity would have been better! gentle giant - three friends. it's the same as their debut album, it could confuse people ------------- The Worthless Recluse

90125... no classic yes logo, no roger dean, no excitement, no bold colour, nothing relating the music. a poor cover for a poor album. ------------- The Worthless Recluse

love beach isn't bad... but it still puzzles me why on the COVER of love beach there is no SAND! i know there is on other pics tho. Its not terrible, its just so embaressing. it sums up a band being controlled by a record company, the end of ELP, a poor album, the descent of prog giants, a prelude to the 80s and a sell out pop image ALL IN ONE. maybe in that way it is clever that it represents so much... just f**king embaressing to look out and say, this is an ELP album, this is a prog album. Embaressing for the band too (tho i bet threefates has been drooling since 1978 or whenever it was released)! ------------- The Worthless Recluse

Love Beach is terrible, but more than bad it's the cheesiest cover that I ever imagined for a progressive band, but here are some of myt favorite bad covers: In this one the idea was not so bad, but the picture is simply terrible:
Careless work.
Just horrible.

3fates we defenetily have not the same taste for record covers.Starless and bible black is one of my favourite. I love Tom Phillips. One of the artists who integrated in a very nice way music, paintings and words.Check out the other stuff he did. |

You might like Tom Phillips for artwork... but that KC album cover was horrible. It has a name like "Starless and Bible Black"... and it looks like a logo that would of been stamped on the side of a cardboard box... That title is great.. and so much more could of been done with it! ------------- THIS IS ELP

Nobody mentioned Close to the Edge?
Does anybody know the album cover to Energetic Disassembly by Watchtower? I can't show the picture from the archives here but it's on there. For some reason, I really love that simple cheap futuristic look - same for the Magma logo - it's just so cool! |
