Surely Dream Theater deserve to lose this one... At least they don't need wigs to cover up baldness.

In which you get a second CD that's a 60-minute guitar solo and a bonus dvd of the band members washing their hair in the singer's mom's bathtub.

And better from Brit.

I would probably have a seizure from looking at the damn thing the wrong way!!

I'm thinking A Change of Seasons here, but I'm sure there are even worse examples.

Point is, Britney - for all her problems - should have a better album cover than fucking Dream Theater. Yet she doesn't.

Other than the ants it's just a mediocre photo and some bad fonts.

Brit's cover is sure to throw all who look at it into epileptic fits, and rightfully so for buying/listening to her.

Nuge all the way!

I put together a march madness style bracket, I just need to figure out where to post the .pdf so people can download it.

the chorus on "radar" (the real twisty vocal part before "you on my rada/ you on my rada" or w/e) is my fav part on the album and probably the most compu-fucked.

Not only does it have Robyn on backing vocals (who knows, she may have "helped" on "Piece Of Me" too, since that song's vocal track sounds like it was pureed), "Heaven On Earth" is absolutely gorgeous.

Which means I'll be voting for Dream Theater, of course. Ah, memories.

Which is fine by me, since I think it deserves to win this contest. Or at least go head-to-head with Nugent.

When it comes down to it, the Dream Theater cover is lame, but Spears' is both more garish and just generally worse.

Jive had a bevy of paparazzi pics over the past two years to choose from and any would've been better than this.

Fuckin' Dream Theater are rocking some Creed-looking shit right there, what with the muddy ambience and all.

It makes my internal graphic designer weep. That many filters in one cover makes my corneas vibrate. At least the DreamFilters cover gets points for creative use of insects.
