What is the freakiest artwork of any album that you own? I'm not talking about bad artwork but just kinda freaky, strange, unusual.



This was released the morning of 9/11/2001. Talk about sending chills down your spine. I was lucky to find this copy at a local music store as the band had pulled this album after the events of that day and replaced it with different artwork.

That's an amazing coincidence.

That artwork is similar to stuff they've done in the past except it used to be a flaming heart wrapped with barbed wire but since this was a live album filmed/recorded in New York City, they replaced with the city's skyline, which of course ended up including the Twin Towers engulfed in flames.

That and the people looking up,the mish mash in the upper right reminds me of the aftermath as well.

I'm not superstitious but so much weird stuff about that day. Other albums, etc.

I've seen a painting call "Gaya" done in 1989 that had the two towers with two airplanes flying towards it along with other prophetic images.

I can't remember who the artist was and can't find it on the web but if anyone else knows about it please link it or send me a pm.

Couldn't find the Gaya painting, but this was also interesting in reference to 9/11:

Im still impartial to that Pink Floyd man on fire cover for Wish You Were Here...

Stuff like this makes you go hmmmm.

Sorry to semi derail your thread. I'll try to get it back on track.

I no longer have this cassette but the weirdest cover I've ever owned was this one.



Good rock for driving.

I always liked a couple tunes from that Uriah Heep "Abominog" album.
"Prisoner" and "That's the Way That it Is".

Underrated album, but a bizarre cover for Nigel and the boys.

Cher's Greatest Hits.

Two words...
SHIT SANDWICH!

In the Court of The Crimson King by King Crimson (1969).

Incredible album, exceptionally freaky album cover:



;^)

(Sarcasm Mode: On)


SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME EVERY TIME I SEE IT!
(and I don't ''own'' it - but my wife does...and I wish she'd quit leaving it layin' around. My friends see it when they come over to drink...)

(Sarcasm Mode: Off)

Great album...I can't get past the dude's nostrils, though. Just noticed he doesn't have any hair in there either.

Derek Sherinian, Black utopia.......Its kinda odd......





Lordi, The Arockalypse. Strange cover, even stranger band. Some of the tightest songwriting ive ever heard though....




Porcupine Tree, In Absentia.

Freakiest of these three hands down.

Check out the version of "That's the Way That it Is" by The President, that's a much better version.

Although I do not have it any longer- my would have been the original "Street Survivor" cover from Lynyrd Skynyrd. Karma cover indeed.
