One of the worst covers of the year... apparently.

Regardless of the album cover's meaning or lackthereof, I just think it looks bad.

I'm not surprised it made that list, it is a pretty damn bad album cover. I don't understand why they still stick with that Hugh Syme guy; he is so overdone at this point (IMHO).

I wasn't crazy about the cover, but I don't think it belongs on that list either.
This is what I thought. I'm not much of a fan of ADTOE's cover but it's still better than the other horrible things on that list. Except maybe the Journey cover, I actually don't mind it despite the use of numbers in place of letters for the title of the album. Every other cover on the list is horrid though.

As far as Hugh Syme is concerned, yeah I would prefer they ditch him aswell. He's done some great things in the past, but all his great work is just that; in the past. I can't think of anything he's done recently that didn't look rushed, amateurish and completely uninspiring.

I didn't realize Eclipse was on there. I actually think that is a great album cover, even despite the numbers thing. Because of the lettering, it's not that visibly bad anyway, and the picture is badass.

Most of the rest are pretty deserving of the list though. ADTOE actually isn't that bad in comparison to a lot of those.

it pretty much deserves to be on that list i think. i mean the first time i saw it i thought it was like a fanmade joke cover or something

Most of the ones on here that people made themselves were vastly superior to the final one.

But it's just the album art.

It's not as bad as WDADU. The awesome music on the CD makes up for it.

I don't like the cover at all, luckily the album itself is good.

Eclipse is on there?  Wow, that's a surprise.  For Journey, the numbers for letters thing is a throwback to ESC4P3, not so much trying to be leeters.

I couldn't care less for the album cover.

It's a shame, because there is some pretty art inside the album.
Yeah I was kinda like, "Why wouldnt they use THIS pic or THAT pic....?"   Personally to me the album cover looks kinda cheesy and like a bunch of random shit on layers in photoshop.   I saw better looking album art in the DTF album cover contest thread.
