That difficult second album cover ...
In today's G2, Guardian critics nominate the worst record sleeves of all time, to celebrate the upcoming release of the new Hard-Fi album. Well, not celebrate exactly: as Peter Robinson says, Hard-Fi's efforts on that difficult second album's artwork are "just a little sad".
The other nominated album art flops are:
· CocoRosie's Noah's Ark · Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water · Budgie's Bandolier · James Blunt's Back To Bedlam · Babyshambles' Down In Albion · Coldplay's X&Y · Shakira's Oral Fixation Vol 2 · The Cranberries' Bury the Hatchet · Oasis' Be Here Now · Miklake's The Trials of Van Occupanther · Therapy?'s Troublegum · The Arctic Monkeys' Favourite Worst Nightmare · Prince's Planet Earth
But are there any other rubbish examples of sleeve art that haven't made the cut? This website has a few brilliantly awful selections that surely deserve critical attention. Do post your suggestions below.
