Hey Acquiring The Taste cover is Great... :(
Love the double-sense humour |
If I'd just seen that cover in a store and not known the band, I might
have thought that acquiring the taste for this music is akin to
acquiring the taste of a$$. A$$ is not a taste I'd wish to
acquire. It sends a crappy message. What would Cartman say?

King Crimson In the wake of Poseiden great cover, not so great album
Starless and Bible Black, lousy cover great album; maybe they should swap.
The great thing about Genesis was when their music went downhill so did the covers, while their early covers and music are both great.
But with Going for the One I always liked the cover,but sure who wants to see a guys rear end?  for me its the whole musical city thing in the backround which is awesome, maybe if Mr G. For the One wore some jeans it would be a better cover, the same goes for Hemispheres  . |
Its better then the other side

Focus - Moving Waves (Excellent album, with a very lame cover)
Maybe it's one of the "prog icons", and it's everywhere...but the In The Court cover, I just don't like it, for me is horrible
Hey Acquiring The Taste cover is Great... :(

Yesterday and Today by the Beatles has a picture of the four beatles with dead babies and raw meat or something. I have no idea what the hell is going on, except that it's a terrible album cover. And since it's by the Beatles, I'm assuming the music is pretty good.

Now that I think of it : King Crimson - Red : This album cover is pretty lame but the music is the exact opposite of lame

IMO both the album and its cover are bad but what do you think is the good parts of Under Wraps?

I like only the cover, nice lady's silhouette, quite elegant.

Yes it's not that bad but to me, it just doesn't fit with JT for some reason. That's why I don't like it

A good album, bad cover is Acquiring the Taste. If I'd
judged that album by its cover, it would surely not be a taste I'd
wish to acquire.
