It's funny to see someone on a music board criticize design, when 100% of you spend all day listening to vapid compositions in your rooms for their "production", "sound", "innovation" and "style" (of which these albums have no value whatsoever in those ground since those musicians are incapable of decent artistry by themselves).
Sick burn, bro. Call me when you drop golden sections and learn what "cover design" or artwork mean. Fuckhead.

I love this album and the cover is probably their best album cover of their discography. "Guns" is a better choice for good album/stupid cover.

Get rid of the "DELUXE" banner and you get a colorfull and inspired expression of the paranoia, it matchs perfectly with album

MoR cover is just "meh"

Probably the best band out there that couldn't make a good album cover (besides Frengers).

definitely the worst of their albums covers so far, but all the ones they're posting on DAS the past couple weeks look so much better
>>
>>65272939
Pretty good cover, the physical CD is meta as fuck.

>>65272949
It was the 60s, m8, there were not standards yet.

>>65272963
What's wrong with it? Same shit as their self-titled.

>>65272993
Original Paranoid with the demon is better, why did they even put the guy with a helmet and toy sword on the cover? I have to say it's more iconic this way, a lot more eye catching.

>>65273852
This is legit awful, I don't get it.. They're doing the Queen thing but with big eyes? What's the connection?

>>65274513
Mostly shit because child porn and the girl demanding to be blacked out.

>>65274867
Cheesy as fuck, but with the times.

>>65275266
That sweet spot where computer graphics got accessible to normal people, but before they learned what looked cheap as fuck because anyone can do it in five minutes.

>>65276605
It's stupid.

>>65278582
Apart from having the band members on the cover, it's not too bad.

>>65279115
Fits the album perfectly, though.

>>65279146
Worst fucking cover ever, and the single reason why I stayed away from that album for years.

>>65279338
All Kanye cares about are memes, so of course he would make his album cover in that vain.

>>65279427
Radiohead have a long history of great artwork but bland cover. I'm mostly bummed out by not getting the classic Donwood acrylics.

Also there's this. While not as good, it still had a lot of decent songs, squandered by the fact that this is its cover, and the album title "+-" is terrible for search engines.
>>
>>65272939

I'm okay with that cover on CD, but they should've made an alternate vinyl one.

>Radiohead have a long history of great artwork but bland cover
This. Donwood is supremely talented but for some reason when it comes down to the cover they make the wrong calls.
