You know what the worst part about this cover is? If the album’s somehow a hit, I can see this cherub–complete with water-leaking teardrop–somehow becoming the newest, “edgiest” addition to this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. (Just think of the 34th St. photo op!) And from there, even more kitsch will flow, thus flooding the mantel-crap emporia of our nation with vaguely patriotic, oh-so-cute statuettes, window decals, and other plastic trinkets just in time for the holidays.
That kinda stinks, but at least it has some artistry behind it.
I really this Worst Cover Race figures into the next year end Idolator poll. There’s just as many to choose from as good albums or singles.
That cherub is totally going to pick its nose with the Empire State building.
Overall though… There have been far, far worse entries in this year’s race.
I can’t wait until the deadline is cut and we get to see all the contenders in one large frightening post. Oh, and if anyone votes for the Deluxe edition of the Dream Theater record I will cut you. With a knife.
worst album title, too…unless this pj olsson person is, like, fourteen.
