^Come on man, not saying anything about the music, but that cover is cheesy as all hell. I guess if you like that kind of thing it's good but damn dude.

Here's one I like for you to talk shit on.

It's a 70s rock album cover ffs! AND it's Dio! How can it NOT be cheesy? There's nothing wrong with cheese. Yum!

Says everything about why I hate(d) Frank Zappa. Yee-uck!
I saw that once in a record store and knew I would never buy a Zappa record.

This one is not necessarily only to annoy you Frown, but I think you might appreciate the art and the photography of it...

^ I don't think theres one thing about that marillion cover that I like :\ I don't even think the photography is good there

this is a rock cover that I really like. im all about simple covers I think. I actually probably dislike like 90% of album art anyway.

Better than Rainbow cover. The artist doesn't mean much to me when I'm looking at how good a cover is. I mean, Beefheart has had an awful cover or two, so saying 'but Dio' doesn't do much for me.

Here's a visual, just to reinforce the point.

Spoiler for Candy-O:


Not so much because of the eye candy aspect (though that doesn't hurt), but because it fits the band and the album like a glove.
