I find this one to be unintentionally hilarious.

There are a few really bad sleeve designs from the Scorpions catalog, at least 3-4 that I can remember.  I think they had legal issues with one of them in that it was similar to the Blind Faith cover art (except way more graphic), and it had to be recalled.  I don't have time to get the links up right now, but try a Google search for "Animal Magnetism," and see what you come up with.

Lovedrive I thought was a laugh, but the original Virgin Killer cover? I'm surprised they still have a career after that. You'll have to look it up yourself. That one I refuse to own.
Animal Magnetism I've had in my CD collection for decades.
The original Taken By Force cover was banned as well.

I used to hate this cover until I purchased the album and fell in love with the music.  Now I really like the cover, but I know some still gripe about it (and No More Stories...) so I'll still post it.  Don't judge a cover by it's music?

Here's one of their videos I found so far and they are a very new band. Interested to see what their future musical projects are.

What am I looking at here?  I always thought this was bad graphics, especially compared to album covers like Crossings and Sextant

I have a funny feeling that music is like the album cover.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I will not post the so-called "Virgin Killer" original cover art either, or ever look at it again, but I have seen it once.  For those who have not: Trust me, it is horrendous enough that I would not be surprised if simply owning it is grounds for a warrant of arrest in certain jurisdictions of the USA, based on current child protection laws.  Child porn is NOT acceptable under any circumstances, which probably explains why one of the guys from the Scorpions ended up living broke and homeless in the 90's.

I like Clouds a lot, I saw the original 1-2-3, and I often champion their cause. But this cover (and title!) are really naff and don't do the band any favours.
