Worst album cover AND band name of the year! It’s like getting 2 birds stoned at the same time.
This is one of those days when I really do miss my old job.
You have got to be freaking kidding me. Not only is the album name a swinging pendulum of putridity, but the cover is the kind of meaningless sub-Dream Theater monstrosity that would only look good airbrushed on a 1977 Econoline redone by Choo Choo Customs.
Should we bring back the worst album cover of the year tournament? Actually, I would love nothing more! Accepting nominations now!

Do you know what we did when I was doing PR (or in college radio, for that matter), and we got a CD that looked like this?
WE THREW IT IN THE TRASH.

BAD ALBUM ART WATCH.
YEOWCH, Ariel Pink! That’s not ironic bad…that’s just terrible bad. I might think this was cool if I were seven years old, and…you know what? I would never think this was good, not the fuzzy tough guy dudes photoshopped onto the brick wall and certainly not the glowing pink grandma (could that be the elusive Ariel Pink herself?!) in the back. In fact, this makes me like the record less.
