And my satisfaction with the song choice on The Chosen Ones was enough to overcome the shit artwork.
I've always thought Stratovarius has done a much better job with their artwork than most bands, however, Polaris was beyond awesome, it even beat out Infinite (Which was my previous favorite)

Most of these are average, some even good ones. Did they simply type "metal album cover" in Google images and list the first 44 they found?

Some of these are actually comical, which makes me wonder if the covers were intentional?Babylon wrote:http://media.gunaxin.com/the-25-worst-a ... 2009/37511
I mean, something with humor does tend to grab a persons attention, so..........

Worst covers I've seen are the last few Children of Bodom albums...

Not trying to be mean but I do not think Jesus would be that desperate.
When was that? About 1965, based on the hairdos.

Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
I honestly did think that the Dance of Death cover was a joke when it was first revealed. The rest of the booklet is awesome however, and the album is their best since the return of Dickinson/Smith IMO... proof you really can't tell a book (or album) by its cover but yes, it is appalling.Babylon wrote:http://media.gunaxin.com/the-25-worst-a ... 2009/37511

Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
I have to addmit it, the "Dance Of Death" is kind of weird... But the other ones, OMG! I guess I should have put Iron Maiden's cover in No 20, it's not that bad

Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
When I saw the Dance of Death cover for the first time I seriously thought; "Hmm, interesting draft, I wonder what the final version will look like."

Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
In my opinion? Everything that's made on that god damn computer-graphic-that-looks-like-computer-graphic style. Like almost every Strato album... like about every power metal album in general. I just wish there was more variation. :E
I liked Polaris, Infinite and Visions though.
But seriously, why not photographs, different style graphics, drawings... anything! Not ALWAYS that godawful graphic-graphic without persona.

Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
Actually, its pretty cool. :bigok: Whats the symbolism behind it? I mean, it looks as if the ships are in a bad storm, and are going to sink. Back in that era, ships going under happened alot, and it would be a real tragedy.NeonVomit wrote:What do you think of this?
Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
When the album comes out the symbolism will be revealed

beautiful, and the symbolism is just perfect for the album (Yes, I understand the meaning)

I could never totally get into DoD.

Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
Paschendale and Face in the Sand are epic tracks, and while BNW is a great album there aren't any songs on there that really equal those two.Babylon wrote:I could never totally get into DoD.

Re: The 25 worst album covers of the decade
Ghost of the Navigator and Dream of Mirrors are two of my favorite Maiden songs. Fell in love with them from the moment I heard them. But you are right, it is a matter of taste And when it comes to live shows, nothing can really compare to Maiden.NeonVomit wrote: Paschendale and Face in the Sand are epic tracks, and while BNW is a great album there aren't any songs on there that really equal those two.

Ummm.... the cover of DOD, in comparison with the rest of Maiden covers is , in my opinion, under the average of the band. About the songs, it is not my favourite cd, although some songs are good enough ( Rainmaker, DOD,) but the production wasn´t brilliant as usual, sound is a bit..."dirty".
Another bad cover: Barón Rojo- Desafío.
Barón Rojo in their worst era. Songs are not bad, but... no money at all to do a good product.
