Not really quite sure what Submersed is going for here. The evolution of the hard-rocking mook? An inadvertent Madness tribute? That thing where you pretend to walk down the invisible steps except, like, backwards? What happens when slashed budgets force you to let longtime marijuana fans art direct their own album cover? (To quote reader Ross Raihala, who sent this our way: "I really don't know what to say except that a bong was obviously involved.") You can practically hear the knockoff Nickelback in the font alone.

Robin Thicke to Submersed: "Been there, done that.
Somehow I find this more charming than photoshop jobs like the Robin Thicke one, because it looks like a bunch of goofballs just decided to go outside and do this photo in one take.

This sounds like a fetish gone wrong.
i'm assuming that's the drummer on the far right?
A simple math question:
How many beers must one consume for this to seem like a kick ass album cover?
I always get a kick out of these band publicity photos/album covers. It just makes me try to picture the band of moment at the photoshoot looking all serrious-rockstar-like. I don't know, it's just a funnny mental image.
This whole thing should probably have been superimposed on someone's lower back for full comedic effect (I wish).
At first glance, I was reminded of the classic photo of WWII soldiers raising the flag on Iwo Jima. That's what a tiny thumbnail, on my Sage reader, and a crappy laptop screen in the sun will do for a mediocre album cover! There's no way that will compete for the badness award with Ted Nugent's beaut!
Well, they certainly love distressing shit, don't they (their logo, the photo)? This certainly is wack, but I'm sure we're gonna see worse shit before the year's over.
