AAA: Album Art Atrocities
This is me ignoring other peoples feelings since 2023 and ranting about album artwork. And it's probably still unfinished, don't even know.
None of this list was made under any rational thought, just pure personal hatred and bias. Step aside and consider to put yourself above me therefore at all costs.
As I'm still in the process of making this list and eventually doing a video on it, be sure to help me reconsider or give me recommandations about what you think is one of the worst album covers of all time.
When I use two covers from one band, both of them count as one pick when I can't choose or find them both horrible, but for different reasons.
All of this is my opinion of course, I'm not doing this list to mock your favorite album artwork.
List was named "The 100 Worst Album Covers Of All Time" before, until I realized I just needed this to vent and so i make this just an endless storage for promotional eye sores.

Every photo of this, even in Hi-res is complete shit. I mean, are those 4 pillows randomly stacked on top of each other and why? The writing with the neon letters sucks and what is that random tarantula in the middle? I'm just so confused, like how I am mostly when I find some random Tom MacDonald song somewhere.

Sure, one could argue that there is something ironic and purposefully bad about this cover, since it's coming out of the Soundcloud realm. My issue is something about this cover doesn't feel "real" or "intentionally bad" and chose this for real, unlike it's contemporaries of that time. This sense of "oh look, we're so cool, look what we can buy" and also the very "non-troll-ish" music on it takes away all the irony. So what we're left with is a cover, where every glimpse of photoshop on nearly everything sucks, the font looks quite terrible and does not fit this setting in what is presumably "the mall". But also, what should this cover represent? When you brag about how much money you have, at least leave some for better graphic design. This does not make you look respectable, it looks childish and awkward.

You just... couldn't put the hole in the fence over the "O"? The voices are getting louder when I see this

This one just screams 8th grade. While being everything but a fan of Juice WRLDs output, RIP of course. But this album cover is trash, seriously. It looks like some random fanart, not even good fanart tbf. And it is so edgy, so uncomforting, the writing with the broken phone in the background, the way he's giving her the finger, the tire smoke looks like the car is coming out of a different dimension, also the way the cover is split in half, the picture at the top but off center, then the bland writing on the bottom... It's giving the energy of the song title "All girls are the same", it's what likely some irrational thinking fuckboys find relateable and respectable, in order to cope with their first 2 week relationship break up.
