Not a bad album...

...But boy did this artwork set my expectations way too high

Based on artwork, Molly Hatchet had some of the best albums ever.

Have any of you seen the Hipgnosis documentary on Netflix?  Although I don't miss vinyl, I miss the days of real album cover art.

I love the artform that is the album cover. There are so many albums I think fans rate higher because the album art is better than the actual music, but they are swayed to think otherwise.

 

Maybe I'm a terrible, terrible judge, but I think Slayer are one. Their album art is phenomenal. The music? Eh

Molly Hatchet's first few albums are pretty damn fun

I think from a funny perspective, the Scorpions original "Lovedrive" artwork (which was banned in the US) is one of my favorites.  The Scorpions had a knack for offensive album covers there for a while, I'm sure they inspired Spinal Tap's fictitious "Smell the Glove" cover.
