Re-titled thread just for this atrocity:

Is that a boob?

If it is, it belongs in National Geographic, not on an album cover.

I count three of them.

There's a kind of brilliance in how bad that is.

I mean, c'mon.

feels like he's gonna show me how to install pavers more than sing me a song

That glow to his face makes me think of the Cocoon aliens

are you fucking KIDDING me? That's real?

It's leagues beyond Look What the Can Dragged In.

'member this?

the song and actual video are even more hilarious!

I cannot fucking believe that's real. There are just too many dumb, easily avoidable things wrong with it. It's either fake, or it's art. The fucking FACE he's making, like the photog just ripped a raunchy fart... the hideous over-processing, the A-Team font, the blown highlights on the shot - fuck it, that shot is Z-Grade. Absolutely bush league. It's clearly meant to be a serious environmental portrait, clearly it's trying to actually achieve those goals, and it fails completely. Key light is at least 2 stops too hot, rim lighting is only highlighting the side of his head that already has a bright background, and wtf why is the flag half covered, why is half the background so dark godammit who did this a toddler?

well based on font selection and the woodsman accoutrements i think it's pretty obvious they're trying to reach the demographic that best appreciates a quality super duty tape measure

And that bandana just keeps getting wiiiiider and wider to chase that hairline north...

Also...





...agree.

Might be a pretty good album, but:


Apparently bad digital cloth simulations are really awesome. Her video for the song "Interference" features one pretty prominently.

What does the font across the top even say?

<low whistle>

"Platform". Thankfully they've spelled it out for us in a nice serifed font at the bottom because, yeah.

I think what bothers me even more about something like this than even the Bret Michaels thing is that this is supposed to be like some high brow, progressive design. Really "free-thinking" and "open-minded". They're breaking all the rules, man.

Also yikes.

so I'd never heard of holly herndon.

here's the single pitchfork likes.

I don't care for it.
