Hmm.
My three best VH album covers....
Balance
FUCK
WACF
TBH, there’s something to be said about the digipak BOBW greatest hits stripes album cover too. Perhaps its sole outstanding component lol.
Did they even release that on vinyl? Nah.

Ad.1 Definitely Seventh Seal over 1984/Jump (just like Mean Street over Mine All Mine). Guitar-driven stuff always beats synth-laden stuff for me.
As for VH album covers... Meh. Best of them are decent at best... Think 1984. For good covers check out classic Scorpions and Judas Priest artworks. In Trance, Lovedrive, Savage Amusement... Turbo, British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance... Born Again by Black Sabbath. Nutz (1974), Tigres (Take It All), Mad Butcher (Metal Meat), Alice Cooper (DaDa), or Nazareth (The Catch).Last edited by marcin; 08.14.19 at 02:46 AM.

Never understood the hate for the 5150 cover. I always thought it was a cool Atlas type concept.
Then again I never understood shredder head metal loving dudes who embraced pro wrestling and all the tights and oiled skin... but found a VH album cover to be... ghey.

And how about that Alice in Chains cover art from their 1995 release? Tripod ....
Best =VH= album covers? Hummmm ... It has to be 1984, Fair Warning and II.
For best back cover, it has to be W&CF. Hands down to the best Heavy Rock picture ever taken and it had to be with The Mighty One.TT: "Wow, you can play acoustic guitar?"

5150 album cover is uber gay!
The best covers, easily, are: WACF, VH I, FW (for just looking so menacing & different).Graver, Walking Ed, refugee from CVH & proud tone chaser...

I thought it was ok. You know, no big deal. But the 1st thing that I captured were the rings and not the wings. Even before listening to the entire record, I knew it was different. But the back cover stuff .... Hummm, I don't know. Edward with a strange look. Sobolewski wearing a fashioned Mickey Mouse t-shirt. Hagar and that hair cut. And Alex being himself. I think I'd prefer the picture they took for the WCTBL single as the back cover photo, but that's me.

Not sure why this would be considered gay? I think its cool. I also like the totally 80's green marble. Once again, I think people bring all types of baggage with them into these discussions. I guess maybe it can be summed up by saying that this album art needs more swagger.

For me, Fair Warning has to be the worst cover. It looks like a bunch of crap thrown together for some high school art project. VHIII isn't that much better but for me Fair Warning is
