Who Will Place Third In Our Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament?

threewaytieforlast.jpgSo many voters seemed morose over the loss of both Helalyn Flowers (who knew an obscure industrial-goth band would become such a part of all of our lives?) and Dave Mustaine and crew (who have always been a part of all our lives) that we thought we’d give you a belated Christmas present: The chance to choose who will take home the coveted bronze in our Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament. Will the choice between the rivetheads and the Rattlehead prove to be one of the hardest? All signs point to yes.

    Helalyn Flowers takes this one in a walk. The Megadeth cover looks less awful every time I see it.

    Somehow the Helalyn Flowers album got this far without my noticing that it also has one of the worst album titles of the year, so A Voluntary Coincidence (ugh) wins.

    I bit the bullet and decided to find out what Helalyn Flowers sounds like. Mistake of my life.

    @cassidy2099: So, Helalyn Flowers basically sounds like Orgy or Deadsy. Is that such a surprise?

    I don’t listen to much Deadsy.
