I refuse to listen to this album, because they literally made the cover on https://pixlr.com/o-matic/. What a bunch of cheap lazy faggots.
>>
the artists face on the cover with nothing else on it just comes off as lazy and narcissistic

Unrelated to cover art, but I always find it tacky when bands have a reference to music/sound in their name. As if you needed to tell us that you play music.

any text if it isnt the center of the cover. picture of the musician
>>
>>60314815
why is it sideways?
>>
Black+white backgrounds are cliché. I like surreal shit like Satan Is Real, Pink Moon

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

Tacky effects like lens flares, 3D word art, whatever. I guess it can make sense if you're going for an "ironic" or "post-ironic" thing but it's still ugly.

Stretched text, incorrect capitalization, otherwise bad typography.
