Search/Rescue Can’t Be Saved In Our Worst Album Cover Of The Year Race

51jSHSrd3nL._SS500_.jpg

Your guess is as good as ours, but best we can figure, this poop-tinted cover from wussed-out post-emos Search/Rescue combines a font treatment last seen on a Jade Tree knock-off circa 1998 with a mixed-media finger-painting (possibly using adobe clay and astroturf) of what looks like a post-apocalyptic landscape and/or stills from the 1996 Shore/Baldwin vehicle Bio-Dome.

    This is probably the first “?” I got from a WACOTY entry. It’s not fine art, sure, but it’s certainly worthy of the meddling category that at least clearly hovers over WACOTY status.

    Maybe it’s more infuriating the more you examine it? The really cheap Saville cred at the top left (”color bars = arty”), the antique museum entry font at the top right, and a hastened ViewMaster style take on a station on an alien planet. Not good but not even bad. Certainly not “worst”.

    Many 2007 album covers last year that didn’t make WACOTY 2007 were far worse than this.

    IMHO. *shrug*

    Tagged for bad Photoshooping. I’m ok with the text.

    It looks like the cover of an Earth Science textbook from the 70s.

  6. yeah, that Photoshop filtering business is out of control.
