sgoodcore Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I think the best and worst just illustrates how subjective these kinds of lists are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 If you want to get technical about it, "best-of" lists and objectivity are mutually exclusive. Firstly, because most people on those sites aren't going to give each album cover a thorough and non-biased critiquing and vote based on artistic merit. Second of all, the whole exercise is predicated on the notion that any group of people have seen every album cover in a particular span of time.

travis Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 The Muse and Mastodon are cool, most of those are pretty terrible tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It's so weird to me that J Mascis uses so many seemingly drug influenced imagery considering he's been straight edge since the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 i can't tell the difference between their best and worst list. there's more crappy ones on their "best" list than are actually good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drabley Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 This kicks the ass off anything in that list, in my opinion. Art is by a guy named Peter Dalkner, if anyone cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
