20 Spectacularly Awful Album Covers

Surely somewhere on this planet there must be an album cover which is so outrageous and unintentionally perverse, that if it were viewed, it would cause a tear in the very fabric of what we know as reality, causing the dimension in which we currently reside to fold in upon itself, and everything in the the known universe to simply blink out of existence.

Thankfully for humanity, I haven't come across this particular album cover yet. But here are 20 that come pretty close.

NOTE: All of these covers were taken (without permission, naturally) from the reallybadcoverart group on flickr. But seeing as the members of this group have apparently republished all of these copyrighted album covers without obtaining permission from the original rights holder ANYWAY, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume that my re-republishing them is probably not a huge deal.

In any event, please enjoy these images which represent several descending layers of unauthorized use and copyright infringement.
