That cover is totally Blink 182 meets Coal Chamber. It’s like one of those early 90’s album covers, when 80’s hair rock bands suddenly tried going all hard and alternative. Like this:

I dunno…
That album cover seems a lot better than rantology and all those recent cookie cutter single releases…
while it’s not great, it’s… ah damn it, it sucks.
The barf looks like a tasty avocado dip.
I can’t really be arsed to explain why right now, but I think this one is way worse.
That one was terrible, but let’s be real - that thing was a cash-grab of the lowest. It was the first real thing Ministry put out that was solely used to tie up contractual agreements, and Al made no bones about it in interviews.
This…this is the COMEBACK album and this is the cover…

Yes, that too. Thank you.
I like how he decided to get all drugged out in a church.
“I’m going to fall off the wagon. Where’s the nearest church?”
UNLESS… it’s a statement on how people get all smacked out on god… Wow, the cover’s deeper than you all thought.

Is that that fat fuck from Heroes on the cover?
This might be the worst that I’ve seen, ever. Rantology was a random pic for a compilation. The relapse cover just shouts attention-hungry, broke teenagers who think they’re being clever on a computer. Whoever did that cover shouldn’t be so quick to quit their day job.
This is the worst cover art of all time…

Gunnar probably likes it though.
Hell - he probably OWNS a copy!!!
i love the dark side of the spoon cover, and i don’t mind the rantology one…but this is just horrible. the picture wouldn’t have been nearly as bad if it was grungy and real looking…not fake photo shopped bullshit. looks like a zombie video game.
Hahahaha! “Cacophony” looks amazing! What’s the year of that masterpiece?
North Korea don’t realise Kim Jong-il is toast, all that wailing from the vid in the other thread was their reaction when they saw the Relapse cover displayed in Pyongyang. One lady said she would turn her sorrow into strength to support Erie Load.
There’s Ministry Beer?
I am low and slow

I thought it was void…
Shameful cover art! Ministry ugly return.
Hello Moscow!
Hello Moscow!
Hello St. Louis! [;)]
“Relapse”. Totally devoid of meaning. Totally devoid of imagination. Totally devoid of soul. It’s the absolute worst kind of album cover. Desperate and jaded. It’s the type of album cover made by a band led by an outdated man who is really scared of losing his street tough status, yet who doesn’t want to actually dig in his heels and do something truly badass or worthy of updating his street cred.
thanks for expressing what i feel so eloquently.
Jourgensen said the chorus for the track, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 99 percent”
insprational.
Man the cover is pretty bad… I’m digging that their using 90s era Ministry font, but whoever decided what the “blending options” were in Photoshop made it look pretty generic… Can’t judge it til ya hear it… I’m not expecting much. It’d be awesome if someone compiled a video of all the stuff Al said about how their was never going to be a come back.
