What is the most decieving album cover ever?


I love Tool so much and they create some of the best videos and album covers. However my favorite album by them Undertow, has the worst cover. It's so boring and dark. You can hardly see the image on the front.

What examples do you have of great music, but poorly designed album covers?

the most deceiving cover ever... hmmm a bit hard to judge, but I'd say metallica's Black album is up there cuz it has nothing on it, no introduction to the music inside so I guess that's deceiving. But what about disturbing artwork choices... like the Black Crowes Amorica or the Pumpkin's Siamese Dream. Mew's And the Glass Handed Kites is up there on my list too. Not liking the art, but all these albums are classics.

Hmmm.. I've never heard their music, but I actually like that album cover!


There's one I can think of that I don't like because it kinda disturbs me:

Blackwater Park is sex.


Hairway to Steven is pretty ugly. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b5/ButtholeSurfersHairwayToSteven.jpg

And somewhere in the black distance,
Another herald puts down his flute,
And the dewy dawn creeps on,
And the night withdraws.

BloodHound Gang's Hefty fine is hideous, but suits them imo~
