this album would probably be 200x more popular if it wasnt for this cover

I don't think it's that bad. The graphic is fine, and he's a fag so he can pose like that.

Ok kid

For some reason 80% of all his covers look like shit, which is wild considering how popular he was

your time is x
mine is y

you set the clock for x + 5
z is the time till y gets to x + 5
therefore z is unspecified

y + z = x + 5
quick maths

All great covers

yeah well your time is up and my time is now

any album cover where its just a photo of the artist or band
- except for weezer, they get a pass

I think this is an unironically great cover, and I'll tell you why. Elton John's cover designer, or John himself, has recognized the preponderous of quickie digital selfie-type covers among hip young artists, like Soundcloud rappers. This is him doing the same thing. He poses in front of an abstract painting which is probably in his art collection, gets someone to take a flash photo of him, and it's done. It's a cover which acknowledges that most people see covers in the form of an avatar-sized picture on a laptop or phone screen these days. This is an improvement on the very gatefold-oriented, old school and ponderous-looking cover art of his last few albums. The album itself is the same old Elton John style, but the cover says "I know what year it is". A good idea, in my view. And the goofy grin after so many albums of him looking like Old Serious Business "Real" Music Guy is great. Reminds you that his sense of fun was what people originally liked about him. So a classic artist, saying hello again in the modern era. Good pose, good design, good cover.

I wish I were in the room when they gave this art the ok. I doubt all three of them agreed upon it

Cohen's don't count because the "I don't give a fuck" quality of his covers became a trademark. His last three album covers were all taken from shots of him in his garden, I think, and before that he shot one with a potato-vision built-in webcam. Then there was the "here's me eating a banana" shot he put on the cover of I'm Your Man.

Laughed at this, which I'm sure was the idea.

Great album but the cover. Dude.

This one is the worse so far

The title is wank too, though, so it balances out nicely. To be honest though, the Jepsen cover only needs her legs in those tights, and the implication of nothing underneath them, and we're sold. Hot women don't really need good design.

Are you kidding, this was genius.

a lot of the later new order album covers are shit and piss

No it wasn't.

WHAAAAT'S UP WITH THE YOUTH

Every Death in June cover. They're all either just a logo, or the main anus sticking his tongue out while wearing a mask, and looking in need of a couple of buckets of Slimfast.

Yes it was.

It was genius because David Bowie did it and you have a hard on for anything David Bowie

Anything by Puscifer, really.

We can be heroes, just for one day.
The Next Day

It was a straight up troll move (almost used the word Dada-esque)
An album like that deserved much better presentation.

Behind the mask is a onions face.......

I don't get it

You're saying Dada-esque like that's a bad thing. Do you even Bowie?

The TEAL cover is awesome, I think Red is the follow up, too bad RED sucks and TEAL is kinda nice

every metal band except Megadeth has cringy terrible album covers

Getting a graphic designer is selling out

It's a cultural reference
