I dunno. Maybe it’s cos we’re not impressed by shitty, puerile 'eavy metal dinosaur rock acts and their loathsome, dated attempts at shock. This is 2014 innit?

You’ll notice that people here are mostly posting obscure shit? Not really your cup of tea, Mr Mainstream Rocker.

Although I hear the artwork for the new Slash album “kicks ass”.

Here’s one for Grmps. Awesome album wouldn’t you say?

yeah, cause ween, the melvins, mercyful fate, the cars, frank black, black sabbath, Ozzy, etc are really obscure. Jack ass.

I pray every night before bed that I can wake up a douchey, piece of shit, australian Hipster, trust fund baby, that revels in his ignorance… It never happens, though. [:(]

BTW… Did you turn Atom’s power back on for him so you could have a friend?

I, too ,fully endorse those Death album covers. Sincerely, the one-two punch of Leprosy and Spiritual Healing just destroys. I proudly wear shirts of both.

Too bad Spiritual Healing was a poor man’s Leprosy on the musical side of things.

Come on, Grumpy! You should know that
LEGENDARY = NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE

So, yes, please stick to stuff that no one has ever heard before, you sellout corporate mainstream redneck dumbass.

Just for the record, I’d rather people post “mainstream” stuff here that they can make a convincing argument for, than obscurities that are just “liked” because of some kind of social pressure. So far I’m happy to see everyone just posting whatever they like even if this opens them up to a fresh onslaught of old-fashioned Prongs-style criticism.

…and now it’s time for some retina-frying Op-art designs (this one ‘changes’ depending on your position relative to the picture…)

“Live Evil” was also in the to-be-posted pile here, but I think I was too lazy to upload both sides or something. Herbie Hancock’s ‘Sextant’ is another great one, if maybe not as trippy, if we travel down that road.

Wow. That TRANSVERSE design is really disorienting. I think I’d love to make a human-sized rat maze with every wall ceiling and floor covered completely with that. Then I’d put Bono in the middle and let him try to find his way out. As he descended into madness, I’d be waiting at the exit for him to (maybe) eventually find his way out of the maze. And then to reward him for his hard work and completing the challenge . . . I stab him in the face with a pitchfork 39 times.

Bono eh?!?

Personally I’d go the Noel Gallagher option, but I see the point you’re trying to make.

And back on topic…

Acid Mothers Temple album covers pretty much slay everything else.
