The Top 10 Worst Album Covers of 2008
1) Avenged Sevenfold - Live In The LBC & Diamonds In The Rough
They made #7 in last year's list and they have the distinct honor of making it to the top of my list of the the Worst Album Covers of 2008.
I'm convinced the same artist who drew Escape The Fate's This War Is Ours album cover also created this monstrosity of art.
Check out the band being turned into skeletal versions of themselves! Look! There's Long Beach's infamous Queen Mary in the water! (Clearly, the artist is going for realistic detail with this piece.)
Oh, and Long Beach itself is in the background and IT'S ON FIRE! OH MY GOD, THIS IS SO METAL! Only it's not, because the band appears to be playing on/floating on a piece of wood shaped like a set of stairs. So did the band actually play in the ocean? And why is Long Beach on fire? Because of the amazing power of their rock????!?!?!?
God, as if this band needed another thing to further cement themselves as utter douchebags. Congratulations, Avenged Sevenfold. If you hadn't jumped the shark yet (and I know you have), you most certainly have now.

I could take 18 years to draw a bunch of stick figures. Doesn't make it awesome.
This is a trashy throwback to Guns N' Roses from a band who constantly have to do throwbacks to other bands. Blech.
Lowry was awesome & he did stick figures.
makes their music no different
plus personally i find the art work very detailed and interesting
This is just ridiculous, though.
You totally fucking missed the point of this gallery.
