my point exactly...it's not a stupid cover, it's just a very badly taken photo, which is annoying cause there could have been something so much better there, cause it's a great album

Yeah, I agree. Good concept, poorly executed.

On this other hand we have this stupid concept, stupidly executed:

I actually thinks that's a poignant picture just badly photographed.

^ The album's called Never Let Me Down and (this being the clever part) there's a picture of him hanging by a rope. Great.

^ Lame cover, fantastic album.

^ Same story with this one.

If I hadn't left my CD collection at my flat I'm sure I could think of a few more.

Yep. That pretty much every other Nick Cave album cover. I always think it's weird that his album covers suck so much since he did go to art school after all.

I really like the fonts he used, the colors, it's a very good concept I think, but maybe he could use a better picture.

I think the picture is possibly the only thing I kind of like about that one. The choice of fonts and colors is really generic and making everything centered makes it even more dull.
