I think half of the sales of that album will be down to the cover.

I was thinking the same thing. Usually if there's actual nudity (not in the cartoonish or drawn variety) it's a good sign that the album won't be all that good and that the band knew that so decided to add it as the album cover to boost sales.

Sounds like the birth of a new thread...not just album covers with nudity, that would be boring and we could easily find such a list on RateYourMusic, but a list of GOOD or GREAT albums that happen to also have NAKEDS on the cover.

I think we all learned a valuable lesson. Don't judge an album by its cover. lol

Good marketing technique. What my band does to make up for mediocre songs is just add a really good ending with drum rolls and guitar shredding and use pitch bend on keyboards then we fool people into believing the song was actually good.

I'm pretty small too...but it's ideal if you're a long distance runner.

It's not the size it's the presentation.

Hehe, I'm just saying, It's more functional to be small and I'd rather sell records with some incredible ear ball blasting sounds than with the cheap album cover approach.
