We turn now to the “Bad Photoshop” bracket of the Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament, which should probably be temporarily named the “My Eyes” bracket in honor of the aesthetic travesties facing off in this installment of the contest. Yiiii! In one corner, we have Satellite Party’s Ultra Payloaded, which shows that Perry Farrell’s facility for titling albums is almost as bad as his ability to not abuse the drop shadow. And in the other, we have Britney Spears, who continues her quest to be the queen of Google News with the blink-and-you’ll-be-blinded cover of Blackout. Which deserves to make it on to the next round? Vote after the jump!

@Tenno: “It is one, horrible, terrible monstrosity of an album cover.”
To say nothing of the album itself! Hey-oh!
@Tenno: humps my eyes is my new favorite thing to say.
Brittney: bad, but in that “Oh shit the album is going to press in an hour? Get my cousin on the phone. He’s got MS Publisher and he’s probably stoned.” sort of way.
Sattelite Party: Someone spent an inordinate amount of time fucking this up.
The Satellite Party cover art looks like the cover of a lost issue of Mondo 2000. (Just in case it’s unclear, I do not mean that as praise.)
Yes skull fucking is funny. Ha.
That having been said, the Satellite Party album is obviously an attempt at high-art masking itself as low-art which is of course very, very high-art in the area of the Piss-Christ exhibit and therefore complete shit.
At least I can tell that that’s Britney Spears. What is happening in that Satellite Party cover?
This is sooooo hard. :(
Then again, is that an Indian headdress Perry has on? Oy.
Perry wins.
The BS cover looks cheap, (Why wasn’t that obvious?) while the Perry Farrell cover is truly godawful.
Mekka Lekka Hi-Mekka Perry Ho!
Something in my hungover brain just read “aesthetic travesties” as “aesthetic transvestites,” which, perhaps, is not so far off.
Honestly, if you’d have asked me when it first came out, I would have said that the BS cover should win the game, if only because I have an aversion to conflicting photoshop filters.
But when put immediately next to the Satellite Party cover, I have been forced to accept that there are indeed fates worse than conflicting photoshop filters. In Satellite Party’s case, it’s poorly-done digital silk-screening. And a fucking drop-shadow.
If Perry removed the chick from the cover, it would’ve gained 10 points. Oh wait, the cover would still be a kick in the eye. Voting for BS is like “slapping yourself in the face!” as Perry would sing it.
Papa Smurf told me to vote for Perry.
Ain’t no party like a satellite party….
Yes. Satellite Party humps my eyes. It is one, horrible, terrible monstrosity of an album cover. BS’s is just lazy and she probably did it herself, Perry’s on the other hand was made by a handless leper with no eyes, hence all the strokes.
If you put it like that, Perry’s is worst. I really tought Britney was a sure bet for the final rounds. This tournament is merciless.
@HUGE_Hefner: We’re all winners here.
@Tenno: Piss Christ is a pretty cool piece, really.
