The only reason I know about this is from TV commercials. But man, this is bad:

Okay, I didn't realize this was album ART. I thought we were talking about bad albums, which this would obviously be categorized as one.

I hate Bon Jovi. I don't hate many people but I truly hate Bon Jovi and I think it's because my biological mother thinks he's one of the sexiest men alive.

This album art is really bad in my opinion, because it just looks like an angry kool aid pitcher. I guess that's what they were going for though, but with the music video and everything.. I don't exactly understand how a group of young activists, or so they lead you to believe that's what they are, are using this picture to make their statement.

Anyways. I really don't like this man, his image or his music. He has the worst hair i've ever seen. Donald Trumps pathetic patch of fluff is better than Bon Jovi's perfectly feathered locks.

You've described my personal hell, thank you. JBJ and TW crooning togethering forever and ever amongst the brimstone and ash.

Glad you didn't quote my whole post. I didn't realize this was on art and not actual albums.

and hey, what's so bad about Tom? I'm right with you on Bon Jovi but, you know.. I lied, i'd actually be able to put up with him if he performed with Waits. I just would have to try my hardest to tune him out.

That's offensively bad album art. There's almost absolutely no design sense in this. It's garishly bad, like "thrown together by the neighbor's kid who has a copy of PaintShop Pro and searched Google for some pictures of old projectors." It's just stupidly bad artwork, especially for a now well-established band on their third album - this is self-release territory badness. Blecho.

All the New Prons' albums have had pretty terrible artwork. I only own EV but the insert book has nothing to it either.

Considering it cost me something like $27 Canadian and they are Canadian, it hardly seems worth buying the album, as opposed to downloading.

Now that's an example of bad album art. I've seen better design sense on christmas cards from handicapped children.

I protest this album because of that cover.

Design snobs. Dat cover ugly, but not "bad." It's a clean use of...well, two colors and a single mirror image. I would imagine it took minutes of hard work.

The picture looks like white trash giving truckers blow jobs for heroin money.

The thing that bothers me about the NP cover isn't the design or the colors, but the shitty alignment on the band name and album name. It looks like they couldn't fit "Pornographers" in, so it almost runs over onto the other side.

But you see one camera feeds into the other.

That makes it "art," I bet.
