CRACKED.COM INCLUDES CANNIBAL CORPSE, THE SCORPIONS AND GUNS N’ ROSES AMONGST ITS “15 WORST ALBUM COVERS OF ALL TIME”

Cracked.com, the surprisingly hilarious website that picks up where Cracked Magazine (a.k.a. the poor man’s Mad) left off, has compiled a list of the 15 worst album covers of all time. Amongst the inductees are Guns N’ Roses Appetite for Destruction (the original robo-rape cover, not the cross n’ skulls), The Scorpions’ Lovedrive and Virgin Killer, and Cannibal Corpse’s Tomb of the Mutilated, of which the site writes the following:

“Does this image represent a convoluted knot of psychosexual neurosis in the artist? Or, was it that the band was already called Cannibal Corpse and the album Tomb of the Mutilated and really there was nowhere else to go. After checking everything else corpse-related off the list (‘What if we have the corpse eating a child?’ ‘No, that’s just more cannibalism’), corpse cunnilingus was really the only thing left.”

Uh, dudes at Cracked? I think your inclusion of Tomb on the list only holds water if by “worst album covers of all time” you mean “best album covers of all time.”
