Inspired by the new Freakwater album, Thinking of You. I really love Freakwater but what a LOUSY cover. It just looks like a shitty record. What does one do?

i love a good cover, but i'm not put off a record i want by a bad one. it would only matter if it were an impulse buy of a record i wasn't familiar with.

I have no idea about the band, but I kinda like the cover.

I've seen worse. I've bought worse.

Freakwater is AWESOME. "Old Paint" is one of the best albums ever.

Atheists never want their kindness repaid?

Is that all, I was expecting a Carcass style orgy of blood and guts. Only dud thing about it is the font.

I'm sure the Freakwater thing is going for a tacky aesthetic on purpose. But it seems like the wrong thing for Freakwater.

It doesn't so much matter for CDs. If an LP cover was truly horrendous, no-one would buy it, no matter what.

An athiest isn't doing a good thing because he/she believes that there will be a grand reward at The End. Christians do good things because it gets them Heaven Points. Or that's the general idea of them there lyrics anyways.
