I absolutely guarantee you a user-voted DeviantArt contest would not have had a single entry that shitty making it into the top ten. It would have been a huge improvement. Unfortunately instead of some random high schooler he gave the job to some artist/designer buddies of his who collectively had the talent and artistic vision of a blocked nasal passage.

The Dance of Death cover is literally just a first draft that the artist sent to the band to show them how the general composition of the image would look. The band took one look at it and just said "thanks, we'll just use that", instead of waiting for the artist to actually complete it. IIRC the artist more or less disowned it because it's literally just a shitty, unfinished first draft.

An interesting story about the Iron Maiden cover is that the original artist actually created that cover as a mockup, the band requested that they just use the unfinished version, so the artist asked to have his name removed from any credits as to not tarnish his reputation, because the band refused to let him finish the cover. Also it's worth mentioning that in person the Talking Heads 77 original pressings are really more like a neon pink/lime color which looks much nicer than whatever dull picture used here.

I actually really like the Talking Heads 77' album cover personally. The unappealing, surreal colour contrast on top of an otherwise fairly minimalistic, pleasant looking cover complement's the album's sound, perfectly. It elevates the uneasiness and bizarreness. A familiar sound, yet something 'off' throughout the record - thanks to Byrne's nervous and insane vocal deliveries. Incredible album nonetheless.

Lol opening the segment on the Creed cover with that initial reaction gets me every time - 'Jesus Christ what is this...' Also I've seen an earlier(?) version of the Dance of Death cover without all the CG shit, it's just the Grim Reaper standing in a smoke filled room. It's not amazing I guess (a bit bare for an album cover) but it is so much better than what ended up being used, lol.

My nomination for this is the cover for Tri Repetae by Autechre. It's basically just a solid color. I can't decide if it belongs in the list of the best album covers or the worst album covers.

Dance of Death is especially insulting when you consider how most other Iron Maiden album covers are actually cool pieces of art. Not even just the earlier classic albums, but stuff like Seventh Son or Brave New World look good.

Similarly, late 90's/early 2000's album covers--particularly "Negatron" or "Kronik" etc--from the metal band Voivod. It was almost like, if you didn't know any better, you could've very easily picked up those CDs on the false pretense that they were some hot new Eurodance group. At least their old-school surrealist techno-apocalyptic comic book artwork was more forthcoming in letting listeners know that the record's grooves likely contained heavy metal music.

@@hamupinhere I absolutely love the artstyle of speed metal era voivod covers, the crazy crackhead cyberpunk was awesome. In the iron maiden thing, it's also insulting because they didn't let the guy finish the render, and they aren't known for doing drugs so they don't even have a good excuse for it.

Agree. I love Jamie Hewlett's art and I couldn't understand why instead of just using a drawing by Jamie, they went for some generic CGI ripoff of the iconic Demon Days cover. The album itself it's not that great, but the cover artwork totally feels like a wasted opportunity.
