The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Race Opens Up And Says “Ugh”

itswhatsfordinner.jpgIt’s the final of the Anatomically Incorrect Bracket here in our Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament. Really, what more can you say about these two covers, except that I suspect that Ted Nugent would be very impressed by Hell Rell’s mouth, and he should probably invite the bullet-toothed rapper over for a home-cooked meal sometime soon? Could you imagine being a fly on the wall there? Anyway, voting’s after the jump.

    The little detail about the Ted cover I noticed today — Christ, that’s an ugly font for the album title. It’s like ten bad fonts pureed.

    Satellite Party wuz robbed, is what I’m saying.

    I note that the only sex act the lady on Nugent’s album cover could possibly perform is passive anal sex–so uh, thanks, Nuge for letting the world know you run that way.

    Oh man, it had to come to this so early. Among all of the other things that I find offensive, Uncle Ted still had to put a ceramic bird or whatever that is in the front so it gets my vote.

    I have Love Grenade shrapnel in my leg. It’s always setting off retard detectors.

    I wish Hell Rell would chomp down on Ted’s cover and destroy it forever.

  7. okiedoke  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    Let’s just cut to the chase. What will Ted win when this is concluded? And will he show up to accept the honor publicly?

    I came a lot closer to voting for Hell Rell than I thought I would. But, ultimately, Hell Rell only has one glaring offense. The Nuge has several.

    The Hell Rell completely deserves to have made it this far, but the Nuge is just an unstoppable juggernaut of Awful. Not even a contest here.

    I’m gonna go ahead and be a pig and say it: I don’t think the Nuge cover is that offensive, and it features a pretty nice sideboob. There are much worse aesthetic crimes in this contest than a display of misogyny that’s barely more risque than Smell The Glove.

    @GovernmentNames: dude, you are so fired.

  12. Anonymous  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    There are better ways to display sideboob…

  13. Al Shipley  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    Don’t be a prude. How is this worse than, say, the original cover for Appetite For Destruction? It’s par for the course for a hard rock scumbag.

  14. neworiginals  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    Hell Rell got a sympathy vote from me for being the worst non-Nuge-nor-Satellite-Party cover.

  15. tigerpop  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    @GovernmentNames: That was ART, brah.

  16. silkyjumbo  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    @GovernmentNames: you’ve got a point. the hell rell grabbed me immediately as crap. the nuge cover just looks like a generic “rawk-and-roll!” cd. i didn’t even realize that she had a grenade in her mouth until a couple of days ago.

    Some of these matchups are so unfair.

    Maybe there should be separate categories? “Intentionally grotesque” as opposed to “unwittingly groan-inducing”?

  18. Paula  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    @jessdolator: For the comment itself, or not getting Sniff the Glove?

    Yeah, and in response, the Venus di Milo in Sniff the Glove didn’t have a hand grenade stuffed in to her mouth.

  19. Paula  |   Posted on Dec 21st, 2007

    @WhosWho: It was Smell the Glove. Whoops, my bad. Maybe I should have gotten that 10 dollar copy at Target after all.

    It’s a tough choice, both absurd attempts at being badass and macho. Hell Rell though, bullet teeth, so gross. At the same time, the Nuge is celebrating cannibalism. It’s a real tough call.

    I’m going to have say Hell Rell. I think because I keep thinking of saliva.

    That’s not Ted Nugents album cover. The girl on the cover is a cartoon.

    I went to the mall yesterday in search of a Haji Springer album. I saw the Hell Rell cover. I had to turn the album cover over to the mug shot on the back so I could look for the Springer album. True story.
